I can honestly say a brewers gold smash is very very good

Another brewday in the bag so time for my reward. Pirate Pale.

 

[SMP Brewery]

@Agentgonzo NZ Pale. Lovely stuff.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

After a couple of Pirates I’m having a Best Bitter.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Another of @Agentgonzo beers a Golden Ale which from the name uses Aurora hops? These are new to me, if so I’m going to have to give them a go. It’s going down far too quickly

Sorry same glass so little head retention.

Trying out @Hazelwood Brewery porter, this is very nice, stone fruit flavours with a lot of roast coming through round the back. Very well balanced, bitterness and sweet. Sweet malty aroma with some of that stone fruit there as well. Lovely and dark with a thin off white head which lasts about half the glass. I worried that at 4% it might be a little thin but not a jot of it, it's refreshing yet still a cozy sit by the fire ale. I'd imagine you could (and have) drunk a lot of these in a night! Very nice, thanks for sharing!

I’m pleased to say I’ve finished brewing the current tranche of beers so it’s time to celebrate in the time-honoured way . Pirate Pale.

…and bitter.

Very nice golden bitter from Ampersand brewery in Norfolk..hosts of the upcoming Homebrew comp which is how I first heard of them. They also did a great Colab with my local brewery Iron Pier which was great. This is crisp, dry biscuit and nice herbal English hop character. Lovely easy going English pale

 

[SMP Brewery]

Just got back from a quick beer at the pub and what a nice pint too, best beer I’ve had up there for a long while and I’ve no idea what it was called, it was a session ipa with second in its name, didn’t have my phone so no picture. I only have one keg with beer in now so a NZ Pils it is.

Finally trying my own NZ Pale. For some reason it was refusing to carbonate so a transferred into a fresh keg and burst carbed. Now it’s drinkable, but needs a a couple of days to clear again. I’ll strip down the first keg at the weekend and see if I can identify a problem.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

We went up the pub for a bite to eat and a few pints of Fife & Drum from Musket Brewery. I had Fajitas from some form of dashboard but it was very nice.

Now home and back on the Pirate Pale.

 

[Alastair70]

This is the second French farmhouse style sent by @samale. It’s a Biere de Garde, 6% ABV which means I’ll have room for something else after.
Lovely pour, it’s light amber, crystal clear, medium carbonation and delivered a generous head lasted the whole glass. Toasty malt aromas follow on to the taste. Rich malt forward flavours of toasted bread, caramel and a hint of spice are balanced perfectly with a crisp medium bitter and dry finish.
It’s a great example of a style that’s been on my to-brew list for a long time. I’m inspired to give it a go. Cheer mate, I really enjoyed that one

Looks like Taras Boulba with added spelt and oats. Same strength, too. I shall seek one out hoping I like it more than the TB, which didn't float my boat at all.
