What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Donegal john]

A velvet stout from the same range. These are only £1.50 a tin and this is described as full bodied. It isn’t. It’s a bit thin. Nice enough though.

 

[Leon103]

Starting tonight with a American Pale from @dave_77
Very nice. Good bitterness, aroma and flavour are spot on

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Happy Friday as always!

Starting with -

Now onto my 2nd beer from @dave_77 A Belgian ipa

 

[Donegal john]

An ipa from the dwindling stocks of bottled home brew and a dram from a wee present I bought myself today. Peaty earthy and sweet single malt.

 

[ale_crowe_holic]

Polly's from M&S.

 

[531Man]

Pint #2 of my Exmoor bitter.
OK, a 500ml glass but well over the line, so I claim an Imperial pint, if not more as the top is the wide bit of the glass.

 

[531Man]

Starting with -

Respect - for a man who drinks OP as a starter, then follows on with 4 tins of Shore Leave in an evening. Subsidiary question, do you jug-mix the Shore Leave or open them in series, just in case you hanker after something different?

 

[Sadfield]

I suspect Verdant occasionally brew beers they like, rather than what people expect. This is nice.

 

[ale_crowe_holic]

New brewery for me tonight.
Brass castle, new England style IPA, 7.4%.

Followed by one of my own. Still got head retention after 10 minutes of being poured from a clear bottle.

 

[Twostage]

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.

I think your dog fancies a pint too.

My bad, i didn't have 4 cans just one it was the first picture i found on google images.

 

[Jim Brewster]

Probably the most refreshing Greek lager Eza, better on draft but bottled is good too

With aubergine, tomato and feta and calamari

 

[YeastFace]

Think I'll stick to ginger ale.

 

[NormanHurst]

Harbour Cold IPA walking down to the rugby. Decent. Crisp and bitter. Refreshingly fruit salad free.

I opted for dry January this year and tried a pretty big range of non alcoholic beers, I think the only two that I found fairly decent where Guinness Zero, and Aldi’s Sainte Etienne which when served iced cold made for a pretty refreshing larger like drink, actually a few of the larger‘s weren’t bad, hoppy beers though I find just don’t seem to work without the alcohol.

 

[YeastFace]

Yep, I did 6 weeks or so at the start of the year and tried a good few. Guinness 0.0 is clear winner. I also like Brooklyn Special Effects. The Asahi wasn't bad.

Really want to try the Hoegaarden but haven't see it anywhere. And there's a Damm amber that looks tasty.
