What are you drinking tonight 2023.

@dan125 hazy IPA ..nice and hoppy with a more bitter feel than normal which is good to me

 

[dave_77]

Last one tonight nice session NEIPA that I picked up from home brew club

 

[DuncR]

Lidl 99p wheatbeer, one saving too many

Where do you live, I had to pay £1.29 for that last week

 

[Pennine]

Belgian single

 

[foxy]

My best bitter entered in a comp as ordinary bitter, came second in the Ordinary Bitter category I did note the the three bringing up the rear were, two score of 14 and one of 19. Would love to see their score sheets. There was no Stout category but I entered my Foreign Extra Stout as a mixed fermentation for a 3rd in comp so pleased with that.

It was in lidl in Standish (Lancashire). May have been an offer as part of their “Alpen” week. …at least the bratwurst were good!

Ps anyone know where I can buy an authentic Vienna Lager? I like what I have produced but am interested in comparing it with someone authentic.

Good to know down south we get charged a 30% premium!

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Vienna lager for sale. Shelves of supermarket are crammed full of hazy pale ales, macro lager, and mass produced British bitters. No room for anything as exotic as a Vienna lager. Only one I know of is Negra Modelo, and they even market that as a Munich dunkel nowadays.

Small Italian Pils to sooth the mind..still hazy but for a nice grassy, herbal with a touch of lemon. Just what I like in a lager

Nice ..like a single

 

[Baldylocks Brewery]

Had a weekender in Bruges and did some wonderful pubs and beers including first try of the much talked about saison benchmark which didn’t disappoint

Another favourite was Troubadour Magma

Not experienced in these things but, seems to be an Italian take on a Triple? It's actually very nice, and 7.3%....

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Another of Jim's stouts, albeit small. North of 7% though. Wasn't going to drink today but I feel like I've earned something after a day working.

 

[Alastair70]

Something from off the beaten track. A Greek Red from M&S.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Hop tea experiment. I'll be dosing a plain lager that came free with a takeaway with these hop teas this evening to see that the different hops are like

Having sniffed them all in sequence, they all "smell of hops"

Ooh I like your experiments AG! Which hops are you trying?

They are labelled in the picture! It's not too clear I'll grant you

But, from left to right,
Nelson Sauvin
Motueka
Citra
Simcoe

My wife wanted me to make a new Zealand IPA and I've never played with those hops before. And I had some citra and Simcoe left over I figured may as well come to the party

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Oops I couldn't see them

Edit: this is why

 

[dave_77]

On to my Cold IPA
