What are you drinking tonight 2023.

Trying to understand how this is an amber ale, I bought into the hype with the new recipe and wanted to have a couple of the old recipe but this is not the fat tire I remember.

Not what I remember either maybe they already changed it and are just now changing the labeling. If I ever drink another one it will be homebrew.

Sunday evening:
Noticed this in Sainsburys and couldn't resist, having lived in the area for a number of years, though in those days IPA was probably unknown to most (early 80s). Nice aroma on opening the can, just drank it from the can, nice hoppy with citrus, refreshing.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks good in the glass, hope it was OK.

I will have another look at the water treatment, I don't tend to need much for the pilsner profile.

It was definitely OK. A German Pilsner can have a mineral finish so there’s nothing wrong with it - unless you don’t like it of course!

I went into town this afternoon shopping for Valentines. After, I popped into a local old school pub serving cask ales and had a chat with a few old boys at the bar. Highlight of my day! I brought a couple of 2-pint carry-outs home for tonight. A pale ale from Goachers and a bitter called Feckless.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m not waiting any longer. Goachers Gold Star - 5.1%, Maris Otter, and I think EKG. Tasty and makes me happy!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

My Rye beer brewed April last year has improved a lot and at 5.4% session strength. Eight left.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

That’s the Goachers done.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

My Tropical English clone.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

This is the other beer I brought home from the pub, Redwillow Feckless at 4.1%.

Bit of Goachers Gold?

 

[dave_77]

Italian Pils for me

 

[Cheshire Cat]

No pictures but a pint and half before tea of Exmoor Gold. Tea was Cullen Skink not made for a while but enjoyed with Italian Orvieto.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

My West Indian Porter. A bit cold so not much head but taste good with the oak chips soaked in rum. Need to make some more.

Bit of Goachers Gold?

[dave_77]

That’s where I went.

It’s definitely time for a beer, Best Bitter.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another bitter for me (small imperial for my wife) and a selection of cheeses to keep it company.

Best bitter 9 days in the bottle, going to test the judges in an upcoming comp and entering it as an Ordinary Bitter.
