What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

You need to knuckle down and drink the ones you're not keen on to make way for what you really like

Not quite as simple as it would seem I'm afraid. My blood sugar says no and my husband is diabetic and has the opposite problem so has to ration

It appears I don’t have a Middleton option tonight . This however is proving a decent alternative.

Hey @DocAnna . Finally got round to drinking the 2nd bottle of the Dubbel.
This one it tip top, tasting great. Lacking a little carbonation for my tastes . I think you said it was bottled off the keg. But lovely tasting beer.

Been a bit MIA. After the sour I had a saison with dinner then went out with the kids to a disco/auction night. In the bowls club so super cheap and stuck to the coors so I knew I would be sober enough to hit the homebrew whilst home.

Honey porter is the photo.

So, the Missus wants me to make some of that. Can you share the recipe or is it on here somewhere already in a brewday?

The malt and yeast part where the same as my Schwarzbier recipe and then I switch it to American hops for a change

My CML Killer K Kölsch which seems oddly apt it’s 7.5% but drinks as easily as a 4% session beer cold, with a nice underlying bitterness all round a decent beer.

@Tess Tickle's Brewery NZ Pale from the brew and swap, I’ll post my thoughts in the appropriate thread but just to say it’s a lovely beer

Todays job was to replace my beer lines into the beer cooler and build a new python. That all went well, however…

I then decided to give the stainless steel coils in the chiller a caustic clean and I leaned an important lesson - not all plastics are able to cope with caustic. Most can but I used a plastic drinks bottle and the caustic ate through it giving me a lovely clean-up job and staining my nice smart varnished brewshed interior. Gutted about that but no use crying over spilt milk, lesson learned. Anyway, in brighter news, I’ve got my beers back on and now making use of my new tap board. My first beer tonight is the Schwarzbier.

Have Verdants offering of a NZ IPA and have to say I preferred @Tess Tickle's Brewery beer.

SAISON (Saaz & Aurora Hops plus honey)

I find honey works particularly well in Saison, I think it might be down to how dry the beer is (I’m a Stout or an Irish Red ale it’s present but somewhat drowned out by the malt flavour) bit in a Saison et just seems to work well with the flavour from the yeast and the very light hopping.

Looks lovely. I've had a honey and pineapple saison planned for like forever, but I still haven't found the time to do it. Shame the hubby doesn't like Belgian stuff. I'd end up drinking it all myself

A weekend in West Yorkshire. Shout out to The Cross Inn in Heptonstall and Hebden Bridge's Fox and Goose for some excellently kept cask ales from the likes of Elland, Saltire and Vocation. Proper pubs serving very good beer - an increasingly rare treat.

Glad you enjoyed. I'm from West Yorkshire, and I believe they (and Scotland) have the best breweries / beer

Fancied a malty one so an Old Speckled Hen which I think I will alternate now with Directors as shop-bought traditional ale in place of Spitfire. Tastes better outside too!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

The Weissbier is next on my list and even for the first pint from the keg this is nice.

I won't argue, Tess - but what impressed me more was the pubs and how well the beer was kept. Rare to find a village pub with 6 taps of cask all in good nick.
