That’s a decent beer. Most of the locals I seen when on holiday were drinking it. Better than San Miguel
Look out for the reserva 1925 (green bottle) and the reserva roja (red bottle)
Even better.

Evening all. I’m off for 10 days so there’s no school nights for a while. The first beer of many is an old favourite.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

My wife will be joining me for this round.

Mrs is out tonight for a bit so beers and golf on the TV
Started with my BIPL ..clearing nicely...taste like a Schwarzbier in malt character but with a dank spicy hoppiness from the Strata and Columbus

Onto Lemondrop/Citra Lutra

 

[Alastair70]

Don’t mind if I do!

Hear is to another long weekend. Saison time.

 

[Alastair70]

Time for a different type of Red, ‘Crazy Grapes’. This is from a local wine seller and it’s rather excellent. Laithwaites loss is Nicholson’s gain, and the mouth breathing duckwits from Larne can stick the ducking sea border where it belongs when the time comes. C-units.

Rant over, soft smooth dark fruit predominate. No tannins, and a crazy long length of flavour. It’s excellent.

Another beer from my Wilderness box and another winner. This is another fantastic beer .7% but really dry and crisp for it. Bright pineapple type aroma..flavours are of maybe a Belgian yeast and then citrus and pineapple..it's great..could easily drink more of this and then probably pass out

A 'Lil pale from Sureshot to finish the night

 

[Bosch]

It's great with a Guiness head

 

[Bosch]

Festbier, brewed in April.
Lager Malt, Munich, Melanodin & Carapils.

Magnum & Saaz hops.

Safale 34/70 yeast

Cleared up nicely

Their bottles definitely seem to outperform the cans. That glass had two Maggies Leaps in it, then a snifter of my NZ Pale keg (which is still flat) before the Smithwicks was poured, and it still looked great.
I assume they all come out of the Brite Tank, but I still have a prediction for the bottles. Confirmation bias is a total barsteward!

Used to be a huge Smithwicks fan, but find it a bit bland lately (might just try the bottles).
Francisian Wells has a great Irish Red, worth checking out.

Kidare Brewing Company also have a great Irish Red.

One of Bernard's absolute gems.

I called in with another local brewing legend today, our good friends at Hilden Brewery, to see how prep is going for this weekend's Beer and Music Festival.

The court yard is looking good!

Love SS (and Bilbao and the whole area). Very jealous. You will eat like a King!

Trying too, my ordinarily adventurous children have suddenly decided only chips or pasta will do!
