What are you drinking tonight 2023.

Late to the party. First taste of my latest hazy pale. Week in the keg and its very promising

Broadside cask is 4.7% but bottled is 6.3% they must be vastly different beers

Broadside was my first introduction to real ale. I vaguely recall the cask version used to be stronger, more in line with the bottled version. There is a big difference in bottle vs cask. It is a stunningly good beer in the bottle. Even though my tastes have moved on from real ale, this mc'ewans champion and fullers 1645 are still great brews.

I have a couple of bottles of 1698 in the fridge its one beer i keep coming back to when i have tried something different.

fullers 1645 is worth a go chippy its a bit richer and without the EKG

Sainsbury's have their winter range out now. Their winter warmer was lovely last year. This year it's from a different brewer (Badger) but has the same lovely berry amd stewed plum character.

Having a bit of Jim's NEIPA whilst we watch Soccer Saturday

I have an English IPA (kind of) in the kegerator but it'll be another week before it's ready to try.

How was it? I saw it in Sainsburys but decided to pass - I’ve fallen foul of too many winter warmers in the past!

Just got home from Musket Brewery. I like a couple of their beers so had to go to the tap room and try them. Really nice people, friendly and sociable. The beers were great and I brought a couple of 6-packs home.

Enjoying one of these right now. The cans have a QR code that take you to a video of the beer being brewed. Nice touch.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

These are not my favourite but Jim wanted to buy this one. Not horrible though.

A pint of my Saison, dry and just a nice all round beer.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Having one of the green hopped beers now. I’ve had quite a lot of this over the last month or so and feeling inspired to try a green-hopped beer next year.

I love Saturdays as it's the only day of the week I don't worry about calories, and I bet this particular drink has many!

The kids (youngest son and partner) have been to town today and come back with this game, so we're gonna have a go at that after tea. Should be a laugh!

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I am repeating last night later as i enjoyed both beers last night.

I liked it. Flavour is quite pronounced so probably not something you would have more than 2 of in a session.

Bargain Fullers selection for a fiver, starting with the Golden pride.
Rich dark treacley malt, a hefty strong ale but very drinkable !

My Exmoor bitter preprandial to pot roast beef, with Romanian Pinot Noir c/o Waitrose (Sunday has come a day early as we're doing family fireworks tomorrow).
