What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[pilgrimhudd]

I was going to go to bed but decided to have another doppelbock and then these two turned up so they had a bit of cheese and ham.

Where had they been....and where are they going?

Dunno, but the little buggers have had my ham and some of my cheese.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

My first beer today is a dark lager. It’s very roasty but there’s not really much else going on, a bit one-dimensional.

 

[YeastFace]

Utopian Bohemian British Lager. Have had, and enjoyed, most of Utopian's offerings but this one had eluded me until now.

Light honey, hay, spice and slight sulphur on the nose. Taste is bready, a low level sweetness and a bit of spice. A fairly bitter, dry finish.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Pint of Murphy"s for old times sake.

 

[YeastFace]

Small sample of Bière de Garde. It's clear but this chode of a glass makes it look a bit opaque.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

After the dark lager I’ve enjoyed a few other beers that were more to my taste.

@pilgrimhudd definitely has head retention nailed

Dubbel. Lovely. Dark, rich, dry. Tastes of dark molasses and malt. Then more malt. It's a shame I didn't have a fire to sit this next to.

Definitely a sipper.

Good job

Seriously. What's your secret to head retention? This is epic!

Yesterday I had a pint of Hogs Back Nirvanah IPA.
Way too citrusy for my taste & reminded me why I don't use hops that list 'citrus' in their characteristics

 

[Leon103]

Had a couple pints of HPA after tonight's bike ride. All in aid of planning next week's cycling trip.

Just watched this documentary on Netflix tonight.

Can’t decide.

 

[MrJay83]

Kolsch as fresh as they come. Think I have 1.5l left after filling my keg

 

[Alastair70]

After a week of enforced sobriety (antibiotic related) I’ve been let loose in Drogheda, Co. Louth.

First up tonight was a local Pale Ale. Great job on the hops, but at 4.5% you need to plump up the grain bill. But nice pint all in all.

Next up was a hotel Guinness, can’t fault it.

Then we had some of these, in a bar nearby that scored 8.4 from the Guinness Guru. Definitely a step up

Then these were supposed to be the nightcap

 

[Alastair70]

Then this happened, and it genuinely changed my life.

And if any of you feckers breath a word of it to Mrs70 you’re sorting out your own secret Santa this year.

Funny how that one didn’t feature on the wall with price attached
A case of if you have to ask you can’t afford eh ?

It was on the shelf above, between a 17 year old Hibiki and an XO Coognac
