What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[531Man]

Nearly cleared.
My first brew this year, now in cask.
Based on Exmoor Gold using my own grown Prima Donna hops straight off the bine and into the 70°c whirlpool.
I overdid the Cascade bittering, so has come out more of a hoppy Exmoor bitter.
Still a little young yet, just hope there's still some left when it comes together!

I do want to be more adventurous in my drinking but I think a triple might be too much for me . Maybe I need to ease myself in with a double. I would like the bottle though .

Irs only 6%

 

[Leon103]

Took the pup for the 1st time earlier.

Started with hoodwink - described as a lager type pale ale. Had this in bottle many years ago, didn't think much of the cask version.

Then a cwrw teifi. A nice best bitter.

Both by Mantle.

I love Vault City's Cloudy Lemonade but this is on another level; it's sharp,sour,refreshing and tremendous hop balance - exceptional

And this is one of my favourite IPA's

 

[Leon103]

Unfortunately this isn't half as good as the other beers I have been drinking during this celebration

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

My wife has gone to see a Tina Turner tribute act with our eldest daughter and our grand-daughter. It’s not so much my thing so I’ve gone for a walk and found myself at a pub

Having a pint of Pedigree before the walk home, maybe a couple

Given up trying to upload a picture after 10 minutes, rubbish signal.

Re. Trappist beer, Dubbel, Tripel, quadrupel beers.
Don't know if it's Belgian-wide, but in the Halve Maan Brewery tap room (Bruges) their Trappist Beer and Trippel are golden (like yours is) and the Dubbel and Quad were both dark ales.
ps they said there never was a beer named a "Single", it was just called Beer (brewed for the monks and lay-brothers), the honoured guests were served the Dubbels etc.
So unless you are fond of dark beers, just go for a Belgian Blond, I know I would.

I might be in need of a hernia repair.
Mrs70, Miss70 and myself have just spent an evening by the BBQ, culminating in the 15yr old performing a variety of Nikki Minage songs complete with interpretive dance. It was quite the education for me and her mum, and I genuinely think I’ve split a side. Thank god her gay best friend wasn’t here too or I’d be needing an undertaker instead.
Im hoping my all time fav South African Red will kill the pain.

 

[Twostage]

My version of Staropramen. Tastes remarkably like it but looks nothing like it. Strapon (as I call it) is amber. Anyway, nice.

 

[Donegal john]

You can pacco your bags if you carry on with that young man

Sounds like an episode of “carry on up the ballinderry”

Fantastic colour

 

[531Man]

I joined in with SWMOd and had my first (real) Budweiser in a long time, seeing as it's pizza Friday.
The first aroma was a more definite hoppyness than I remember.
I had forgotten how good Budvar Budweiser is.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Happy Friday good people, pint of bitter and rather good to hopped with target ekg and fuggles

 

[Leon103]

I had to throw the end of the last, it was turning on me.

This isn't much better,.bit bland. Definitely not a wheat beer.

These last 2 were from aldi, the lidl box was 100% better

The Vault City stuff is epic. I've just found out they have a tap room in Edinburgh....I'm off up there on a 2 night drinking expedition in November. Lucky me!

 

[dave_77]

Started with a pale from Ampersand..nice enough hazy pale, well brewed and plenty of hop flavour but a little soft for me.

Now onto my English IPA...I like it but it's just ok. Hops aren't that punchy . Mrs is out so watching a Western. Ballad of Left Brown

 

[dave_77]

Last bottle of my Saison apart from 3 that have been saved for a comp

I suspect Miss70‘s GBF could have given Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey a lesson or two in how to do camp properly!
