What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

You know what H,I have arrived at the same conclusion! A few weeks and it's a different pint.

It is. At two weeks it has a pithy and quite harsh bitterness and the fruity flavours are a bit muted. At 4-6 weeks it’s smooth and fruity

I must try to get it to last 4 to 6 weeks...

A NZ Pilsner not quite clear yet and as I don’t drink pils not sure if it tastes like one, and a NZ Pale, must make sure I have enough for the swap

This has to be my most favourite sweet stout - sensational

I haven't been drinking much beer. This is my Belgian pale ale. UK cascade and Ernest hops brewed with WLP 400. Have to say this is really good

Been at various parties and Indian wedding this weekend .. food and entertainment has been great...alcohol not so great..Fosters and Bells has been the drink of the weekend. I did sneak a Stella in at the Travelodge before the reception and picked up a bottle of Shipyard IPA from the Esso on the way back for a nightcap.
Got home Sunday lunchtime so finally some decent beer
Italian pils from Burning Sky sorted me out whilst watching the footie..a cheeky £2 bet at half time for Liverpool to win @25/1 finished off a great weekend. Especially with the finally beating Brighton

NZ Pale transferred to bottles for the swap so it would be rude not to have one.

I will have to savour this as it's my last 4.5% bottle of Spitfire and I doubt I will be buying the new 4.2% version.

Family BBQ today - love them all so much. Brilliant day topped off by my eldest daughter bringing me a few beers. I have to say I’m pretty full of my Pirate Pale today already but I might make a start on these

Now the last of the Hobsons trio I bought. Subtly hopped as I like it and as per the label. Convenient that it originates in Shropshire between home and our bolthole in Powys.

Pop by Rod, you’re very welcome!

Head retention is awful but the beer itself is good (CML Chil Pils Pilsner) a nice clean larger.

Went to the cinema followed by a stroll on the beach. Stopped for a pint. A lovely Solar Wave by Sharps. A nice ipa off cask

11.5 hour drive (including stops and a walk) from Scotland to Somerset. Rewarded with first homebrew of August (!) as we've hardly been around with holiday / work / family commitments.

My just carbed Bitter. Only 2 weeks in bottle but doing well. Simple recipe (MO, crystal, biscuit with Fuggles). Yeast was a Notty and Windsor blend which seems to have worked - lowish FG but some esters too. Pleased.

For various reasons it spent 3.5 weeks in primary before bottling. Does that count as conditioning or do the benefits of time only kick in post packaging? Genuine question. Answers welcome.

Oh and it goes well with some Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire. We randomly drove past the farm today and stopped in. One of my favourite British cheeses. The mature version (new to me) is cracking.

If I could only drink one style for the rest of my life it'd be pastry stout. So good! And I love that one!

This wilderness beer is fantastic
