He is rod but don’t let that stop the rumour mill

Some folks carry it off very well more so if they can still squeeze into the old budgie shorts. and i only said he could have been born in 70 but who knows

Chalk stream trout.....out of season by now! Who caught that?

Confession tme.
Bought from Rye fishmonger stall at local farm shop.
Therefore could possibly have been frozen.
To make amends, I did take the children river fishing years ago to Devon.
After a rainstorm the local Brown trout were throwing themselves at our hooks.
Most went back, only one was big enough for the pan.
In a shed, next to the river, behind the watermillf house, whose owner had given me permission to fish below the mill.
A great life experience.
Accompanied by local oak matured dry cider.
Heavenly.

Fishing with the sprogs is an unforgettable experience whether you caught or not!

Cask comparison continued:
Switched back to original serving glasses and the taste reverts back to slightly less hoppily bitter and even (SWMBOd tasting comment) a more rounded fuller flavour.
So it's full marks to the Stella glass.
So much so that SWMBOd stole it and drank a whole glass of MY brewed beer.
That is a first folks!

My missus insists on tulip shaped pint glasses in the pub. Says she doesn't like the taste of beer from straight glasses.

The middle one was an absolute gusher and half ended up over me. Not taking the risk on the rest so poured it and will contact M&S for a refund.

 

[White Rose Al]

Still going strong with the Oktoberfest bottles

 

[White Rose Al]

Top marks to Aldi (whilst stock lasts!). Yes, I know it's Carlsberg as the importer but this is a great drink.

Very lively as you can see, almost a butterscotch subtle taste with caramel late notes. Mouth feel is excellent

We had a good night last night, nice to be out with all the immediate family. They all had a giggle at me asleep sitting on the sofa with a glass of whisky in my hand (thanks wife for sharing that photo!). I think I’ve had long enough to recover now so I’ve poured myself a Pirate Pale.

Brew day today, just waiting for the temp to get to 80 for the whirlpool, having a go at a Red Rye IPA, though I don’t think it’s going to be very Red , just down a couple of points on the of I’m not too worried as it should still be 6.7% ish.
NZ Pilsner which is still nice.

Maybe they know, or have a more discriminating palate, than we.
I fact I know that to be true.
My whole family are more discriminating than me, drink tasting-wise!

Just found this in the fridge that I'd forgotten about - I hope I've got this right that it's from @Agentgonzo

Spoiler alert - we are chuffed with this one. I pre-poured into a jug to avoid the yeasties and got out as much as I could without spoiling the clarity.

It is a gorgeous honey colour with nice carbonation and a lovely malty taste which hit me first. The husband says it has an aroma similar to hobgoblin gold, but the taste is much nicer than that beer.

Bitterness is low - medium (preferred by me) and is perfectly balanced within the beer.

Thanks very much for sending, we have both enjoyed it. Come again!

Just kegged this after 12 days and drinking the dregs maybe 3L it’s not bad and will get better

 

[LesTom]

Decent Sunday sipper

Yes, that's mine. Glad you enjoyed it. It was brewed to be a deliberately "middle of the road" golden ale that was easily drinkable for the late summer/autumn afternoons.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Beer all brewed and the colour is better than I thought, now I’ve got the hydrometer on it, it’s way above the reading I took with the refractometer.

Having a Saison in what is a very mild evening. You can’t tell from the pic but it’s nearly dark.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I tried to post this earlier but the upload was so slow I abandoned it for a while.

I was sorely tempted to have another Pirate but steered myself to the Weissbier.

 

[dave_77]

This was ok

Last beer of the night a Chippy favourite.

 

[Twostage]

Staropramen (or strap-on as I call it) in a hand engraved (my hand) taster glass...

Jolly in the land of Chippy_Tea is going swimmingly....as denoted by the brass wall sign.
