Just popped-open the first bottle of a Wee Heavy I made last month. Tastes nice now, but am planning on aging most of the bottles until late autumn.
I used Golden Promise for the base malt and a bit of Roasted Barley. 8.5% ABV and mashed on the high-side with a FG of 1.025

A classic Oscar Wilde quoteMy mum has a tankard in her fancy glass cabinet that says “work is the curse of the drinking class”
I love quotes of that ilk.
The American country folk singer Todd Snider once described the area of East Nashville where he lives as a small drinking community with a big musician problem.
Finishing this month's Beer 52 box with a decent porter from Arriaca brewery in Spain.
It's been a reasonable day here today but as soon as I decided to have a beer outside there was a downpour.
First taste of bru-packs crisps, Victorian steampunk ale, been in the keg 2days it is 14days old and tastes very nice, I have never tried the real thing but if it tastes like this I would drink it, not to sure about the colour, hops were northern brewer and citra,
Got this cheap with my Malt Miller order as it is BBE June 2023. Not sure it has aged so well the flavour is sort of muddled.
The colour matches mine made from the recipe on the Crisp website. Finishing hop was Vic Secret though. Maybe Brupaks couldn’t get it.
Cheers thats good to know, i thought it look a little dark

Bitter from @pilgrimhudd .
Poured really nicely. Light carbonation for an ale, rather than the fizzy stuff. Great head. I could have easily rested a penny on it. Way better than I get from mine! Quite a bit of haze, which I figure is because I'd had it in the fridge.
Nice full flavour, rich flavour full of maltiness. Large amount of bitter has earned itself the name. Nothing to citrussy, which is perfect. Light floral flavours went with it.
An excellent pint. I've been drinking pale beers all summer and this was a lovely welcome back to dark evenings!

Another from my Wilderness box. Lovely bretted pale..light, crisp. Subtle Brett character that gives little extra to the beer without being obvious. I would definitely recommend Wilderness

Really nice evening with family coming round for a BBQ. Loads of food, beer, and excellent company. You can’t beat spending time with friends and family. Precious.
For anyone interested I’ve been drinking Pirate Pale and Best Bitter. I might move on to Whiskey and coke next if I don’t just have a little nap.

Yes I would agree. Although this was part of the Brewser subscription..they had signed a letter inside with a seed ball attached..nice touch
Went over to our daughter’s house to walk her dog. The dog led us to the pub (
) so I had a fish finger sandwich and another pint of Fife and Drum from Musket Brewery.
Home now and sitting in the garden listening to the rolling thunder and rain patting on the gazebo canopy. To keep me company I have a Pirate Pale.

The clouds have broken up and the sun is shining again - yay!
I’m having a Best Bitter while thinking about tomorrows jobs. I do need to clean my beer lines again and might then take that opportunity to also put on some other beers.
