What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ve seen a few Belgian beers on this thread recently and you’ll know I’m easily influenced so I’m going to have a couple myself starting with this Rochefort. Beautiful.

This is my first time tasting this. I have made a clone recipe a few times with brambling cross hops. This is hopped with centennial, this is different. Real strong flavour of the hops, bordering on black IPA territory. Nice mouth feel, hops dominate with some roast. Interesting beer

Went after dark gravel riding in the forest. Great fun. 3 pints on the way home. The hop father by wye Valley was cracking

There is a bugs **** difference between this and Aldi rip off

Last one an old time favourite

Schwarzbier next and a test of my bar heater before winter closes in. It all works fine and the bar is now in winter configuration so is fully protected against the weather. That’s me happy.

That looks really good.

My after dark riding used to be commuting. I used to do night running in a local forest though. It was great when there was a full moon and I could turn my head torch off.

It’s my happy place. I love having a few friends round for beers and I don’t want that to stop through the bad weather. I also want to be at the bar outdoors (sort of!) rather than indoors.

My second attempt at an APA (mostly Chevalier, a bit of Caragold, Summit to bitter and Lorien, my current favourite hops, as a late addition) and it's leagues ahead of the first one.

The Kveik Hornindal has given it a delicate fruity aroma that pairs up incredibly well with the super floral Lorien hops and the Chevalier works so well to give it a lasting malty backbone.

I'm a little bit in love with this beer!

Day 12/28 off the drink.

Guinness 0.0%. Might try it through the nitrosurge later.

Still the best AF there is imho.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Happy Friday as always!

Starting the weekend with this gorgeous beer!

 

[SMP Brewery]

A Saison and it was a bit of a gusher, luckily it’s the only one so far.

Bass is not what it was but I just want a traditional style bitter. At least it's not been diluted and has a soft mouthfeel with some attempt at balancing bitterness and sweetness.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Onto number 2 already and I don't care

 

[SMP Brewery]

As all my kegs are empty had to have a second, luckily this one was fine, past its best now, only got a few bottles left.

 

[micklupulo]

This is good for the price (£1.25) though the Marston's shop in Wolverhampton is not convenient to all!

 

[SMP Brewery]

Bass is not what it was

The best Bass I ever had was when we used to go to the Combermere Arms, not had it in Burton but they served a cracking pint.

'Evening all,
Thank goodness it's Friday!
My Exmoor bitter.
The golden richness of the whirlpool addition Prima Donna is coming through the Challenger bitterness.
Thank goodness, as it was my first year's harvest of the Prima Donna, and I would have been gutted if they had simply been overwhelmed.
Note to self - must reduce the amount of bittering hops and boil length (amount was intentional, length was a mistake).
