What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Guess who forgot to turn the pressure down…
Oh well, at least it’s the lager not the bitter

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

A few pints of Courage Best at the pub and now nice pint of my own bitter. This keg is unfortunately about to kick but I do at least have another ready to go on tap.

 

[Tanglefoot]

A Czech version of an IPA with Cascade and Amarillo,
I'd struggle to drink a 6 pack of these !

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Trying this one. Doesn't taste of much. Can't seem to get Paulaner Helles in the shop these days. I thought this would be similar. It's not really.

 

[LesTom]

Made an a**e of a check in earlier, this is better and it's a very good strong Belgian ale.

Spring as disappeared and we are back to Autumn. A nice saison

Thanks for the reminder, I should buy a couple more kegs to have the bitter's ready to go when one blows.

Although that may be a good poll question what's a good number of beers to have on tap?

If I were you I would just have a case of staropramen for whenever I felt in the mood for a lager. Although paulaners great too.

Kegged this today a mighty fine bitter, just trying the dregs I ain’t chucking em, looks more like red than a bitter but it’s good

Always 2 more than you have. You also need at least 2 kegs for each tap.

…and a few spares.

This bretted saison from Deya is amazing. I have a saison planned so will look at doing some in bottles with Brett

Is it full on Brett Leon. How old is the can, has it retained any of the Saison character

 

[Rodcx500z]

Yes this will be good, going to west Wales on Monday for a break taking this little girl with us, so this should be good when we get home

Started tonight with a pint of Landlord, then one of my Golden Ales.
Now onto @samale tripel 9%.
Good looking beer with a nice fluffy head, nice lacing on the glass. Really pungent fruity aroma, maybe pear and berry. Flavour has pear , melon and maybe a little tangerine.. really tasty. No heat from the alcohol or astringency. For 9% it's really easy drinking, doesn't taste sweet or cloying at all. Medium carbonation, with a decent supporting bitterness that makes it easy to drink for the strength. Really like it

It wasn't mucky farm yard, can said it would be citrus and lemony and it was. Nice and tart. Yes it had a nice saison character. I don't remember seeing a canned date. I am sure it had a date on there. Will check tomorrow. Deya still have it on their website. Its aged in steel barrels.

Brett can sometimes dominate the original beer, leaving very little of it's character.

Phwoahr, this is full, fresh and hoppy!
Pleasantly suprising as its BBE date is 20.01.2023 a NEIPA from White Hag brewery Co. Sligo Eire.
Biden would have done well to drink a fresh one of these.
Unfortunately I suspect he had only kegged Guiness.

White hag is a fantastic brewery and the head brewer is a yank so Biden missed out lol

Had this with the pizza,
Turns out I'm not a fan of rye ale.
Or perhaps it's because it's BBE is 03.01.2023 .
Then on to an oaked 8.5% blonde.

Very pleasant, then things get a bit hazy......
BBE of this is 12.01.2023, just tastes nicely mature to me.

Cornet oaked is a lovely beer. Got a 4 pack with a glass in Brussels airport
