What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[YeastFace]

An Ampersand NZ Pils. Very tasty, shame I only got one (should have had two in my box but they must've been running low so sent a hazy pale instead).

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m on my Pirate Pale at the moment. In the background is my boiler all prep’d for a ESB brewday tomorrow.

 

[YeastFace]

Testing my Helles (British Malt/German Hops/Andechs Yeast).

Counter-pressure filled 3 bottles when transferring from Brewzilla to keg.

Has had about 3.5 weeks lagering, but keg will be lagered for 6 (I just couldn't wait).

Looks a bit dark in the photo, but is a clear gold when held up to the light.

Really pleased with this on first taste. Will let it warm up a bit in case the colld temperature is masking any faults.

Burnt Mill - Green Path

The tropical aroma straight from the pour is fantastic

Seen a few beers in Asda for less than £2 so lifted a few. Had a butty batch and wasn’t impressed so on this now. I don’t get the plastic that @Hazelwood Brewery memtioned I get a bit of fruit cake and a lot of dark malt and toffee decent enough beer for that money.

It could have been a different batch or badly stored..or just my dodgy taste buds!

I’ll have to buy another bottle from a different shop and give it another go.

Picked this up from Morrisons for £4 and it was great. Dark chocolate, with smooth roast character..hides the 8.5% very well. Smooth easy drinking not sweet which was great for me..I would but this again

Lots - trying to neutralize a bad cold via alcohol

I've just had northern monk's chocolate fudge brownie (from tesco) and that was a tidy drop nowhere near as sweet as the blurb made out but delicious nonetheless.

 

[Druss]

The fourth iteration of my American pale ale, really happy with it as it's pretty consistent and quite tasty indeed.

Mainly Chevalier malt with Lorien hops for aroma, earlier versions were a bit too biscuity for my liking to begin with but it's maturing very nicely.

Also giving me an excuse to try out my fabulous new Karnkreft tankard, this one's a bit on the big side but sometimes its necessary to drink three beers at once!

Broadside cask is 4.7% but bottled is 6.3% they must be vastly different beers

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I went to Sainsburys today and hoped to buy a bottle of Adnams Broadside to see if it was different to my last bottle but they didn’t have any. Clearly I couldn’t come home with nothing so I put these in my trolley.

I’m starting with the lower ABV again. I actually think this might be the beer that Broadside was trying to be!

Sour Dough pizza cooked in the Ooni Pizza oven and a bottle of Marzen perfect start to the weekend. Happy Friday All.

 

[Clint]

Last night in the facility...

 

[dave_77]

Helles from Burnt Mill to start the weekend

Never had the cask version.

 

[Donegal john]

Straight in at the deep end. Red right hand from brehon brewhouse. A 11% barley wine. A good start to the weekend.

 

[SMP Brewery]

A planet pale for me. Not sure I’ve had it before. It’s an easy drinking drop.

 

[SMP Brewery]

A Punk IPA, have they changed it doesn’t seem the same as it used too.

I think so. I almost never pick up Brewdog beers any more.
