What are you drinking tonight 2024.

Time for one of my American Browns

 

[foxy]

This morning bottled my American Pale Ale, 59 Stubby's worth, Drank the dregs from my bottling bucket then had a can of Bad Shepherd APA.

Tonight time to see how my Coopers Sparkling is travelling. Not making any decisions just yet, but it is lacking the funkiness of the Coopers yeast, still very nice for the week it has been in the bottle.

This isn't going to win many awards but its OK. Best on site, although strangely not available in the main bar

 

[Leon103]

Out for food shortly. Luckily I know the place and they have a cracking selection of beers.
My favourite below 4% whilst I shower

Why oh why do pubs keep cask on past it's expiry

Just now in a Greene King pub, chose a Greene King beer - a winter special called Fireside. Well, I should have bloody known it would be leftovers from Christmas!

Sat here drinking it thinking "a bit vinegary" then I go back to the bar for a second pint (of something else) and notice they've now taken off the clip because it's finished, i.e. clearly been waiting for some poor sod to finish the cask. My throat f'ing tingling now from the acetobacter

Away staying with friends in the French Alps. (the blond lady)
So a preprandial Blonde ale from a craft brewery La Rochoise 'Biere ArtisanALE' in La Roche sur Foron, Haute Savoie. Pleasant and gently hoppy.
Worlds more interesting than ubiquitous eurofizz 'pression'.
Phew, our interest has reached the more remote parts of France.

Establishment run on accountant lines rather than publican.
Probably all the 'beer' that was left was festering in the pipes.

I’m starting with a can of Trigger from Musket Brewery while preparing some food. I’m probably move onto my own pale ale after that.

Any good?
Is the brewery tap/picnic site worth a visit on a walk?
Better weather time, obviously.

I really like their pale ales and mild. I’m less keen on (but still like) their bitters but plenty of other people like to drink them all night. Musket brew English style ales and the flavours of their beers are quite traditional I’d say - with the possible exception of their smoked ale (although in years past I suspect all ales were smokey!). They do have some bottled ciders but it’s really about the beer.

The tap room and picnic site are fairly small but nicely kept, warm, and comfortable. The people, both staff and customers, are really friendly. They also have food wagons several days through the week, again run by friendly folk.

Overall I’d say it’s definitely worth a visit to find out if it’s your thing, especially if you’re in the area.

Last of the Asda beers:

It’s a bit meh reminds me of Banks Bitter.

Aldi £2.99.
Any thoughts before I pop the top tonight ?

( I thought the bottle was worth £1 for my home brew. )

I would have told them about it and made it clear i was not happy

 

[Clint]

Yeah,me too. Tip it over his head for good measure.

I did say it was of dubious quality, I got a verbal apology, though not a financial one

I think it is very nice, i nearly always pick a couple up in our local Aldi, also look for the beer especial in the black bottle it is rum infused and very very nice

I had to pass the Porter tap on the way to the Pale Ale tap and as I did I thought “Oooo, Porter”.
