What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[dad_of_jon]

Not on dry January this year ( it's enough trying to knock the roll ups on the head ) but the Ghost Ship low alcohol version was the best of the ones I tried by far.

i'd choose beer over blinds any time.

Pint of Tribute clone, but it's over attenuated and 6% instead of 4% and I'm not sure why so it's got an alcoholic tang which is a shame as it tastes good.

Couple of drinks before a chicken stew, an early night and back to the grindstone tomorrow.
First up this luscious Verdant oatmeal stout, nice choice from my middle daughter.

Next up this Rauchbier kindly sent me by @Justin Dean in a swap after I sent him a duff bottle in the secret Santa !
A new style for me and very tasty - a light foamy head, deep chestnut brown colour with sweet, smokey flavours from the malt and balanced bitterness.
Very professionally packaged too - hope I can send something as enjoyable.

I’m drinking to Brentford beating Liverpool, this team beat my team United so no fluke.

Bottled on the 22nd December, supposedly a British bitter from the 19th century, called it an IPA as there were no bitters back then. Bottled at 1.8 C with 25 gram of sugar at 1.8 C for 21 litres. I added 100 gram of EKG at AA 6.4. Well balanced, back of the tongue bitterness. A really nice beer.

c'mon foxy spill the beans how strong exactly is the bonzer IPA?

6.5% a fair bit stronger than my session beers, every night I will say just the one, then why not have one more. Etc etc.

Wow! Three days in and this is my first post of the year to this thread - Happy New Year! To be fair though I have been busy with family events. Anyway, this is my first beer tonight, Summer Breeze.

English bitter to go with a Full English. After days of fancy food it was this of beans on toast.

 

[LesTom]

A decent drop to sit down and sip while I watch the darts

Last beer until the weekend and a bit disappointed as it's oxidised. I love this one too usually.

Pictures are making it look better than it is.

Samuel Smith Sam’s Brown Ale (Non alcoholic)

Not a brewery I would normally associate with alcohol free beer, but they do a pretty good job of it. If I wasn’t aware it was alcohol free beer my guess would have being a 2.8-3.2% brown ale, it has a nice malty flavour, light on hops and is all in all a very drinkable malt based beverage. That being said I would still opt for the Samuel Smith Nut Brown ale over this if I wasn’t having a dry January.

Little warm up before footie starts. Cali common has been in Keg for 40days now at 4c and looking crystal clear now , tasting great too.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

English bitter to start the evening.

 

[dave_77]

Poured this...and poured it..had a couple of beers that I have not enjoyed..weird malt character that's a bit off putting..bitter and golden ale are nice but IPA and amber seem a little odd.

on to this vocation number, had better from vocation but nice enough

 

[Braumeister]

American IPA based on Sierra Nevada Celebration, which I’ve never tried but this is top notch.

A cracker of a lager

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

One of my bourbon imperials from a bottle, seeing how well they do over time. Scottish Nationals coming up an’ all

Celebrating the end of my 2 day dry January with a HE-brew 22.

It's totally to quote Tony Blackburn "Weird yet strange and wonderful"

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

So much for not drinking until the weekend!

I found this that the DIL got me well before Christmas so I thought I'd have a bit.

Beautiful gin liqueur that tastes like mince pies and with a light-up bottle and snow globe! So cute!

Glass is overkill like!
