What are you drinking tonight 2024.

The tripel is just nasty. Poor carbonation for the style

Yes it pours ok but the head fizzed away, plus it's too sweet. I think I might have another one in the fridge

Not sure what they are aiming for with this range to be honest. Expected better

Was reading the website the core range is to cover the cost of more experimental brews. Barrel ageing, different brew techniques

Need to make them more appealing to the “craft” drinkers then I think.

A bottle of my own dark mild, think I have a tad too much crystal as it’s a tad sweeter than I prefer but very drinkable non the less.

Curry night. I was in the co-op earlier which is generally one of the most disappointing beer shops. This was on sale for 80p. Triple hop as in added to 3 stages of the boil, but not nearly enough. Flavour of green apple. It is described as a golden ale which it isn’t…so true to form for the shop.

Finally managed to source a bottle of this and it's fantastic

Beer flowing well and 1 - 0 to City

 

[SMP Brewery]

Had a pint of Yankee and half a Blonde earlier, couldn’t take a picture of the half it was just wrong.

Time for a Badger now.

A bottle of my own Marzen.

I have said it before but I will say it again. I love this beer, best sub 4% about. Even better in the sun whilst eating pizza. Also a good warm up to going to the pub for a b.day party

 

[Leon103]

Not what I’d have expected, I wonder if the fermentation went a touch off piste?

You may have to try another can

That one was kindly sent to me and I haven't seen any locally

I was in the Co-op yesterday and spotted their beer range. Didn't see that one (or any other for 80p). At least you've got a bottle to put some of your stuff in.

Bit of nostalgia for me in the top picture. I used to work for Vaux who originally made Double Maxim. When the brewery closed some of the directors and the head brewer set up Maxim brewery and continued to make it.

Which reminds me, when the brewery closed in 2000 all employees got a bottle of the last production runs from the Vaux and Wards of Sheffield (owned by Vaux) breweries. They were called "Time Gentlemen please". I've still got mine. I'll post a pic when I remember. Reckon its too late (and would be a shame) to drink them now.

Utopian Festbier. Bit of a cheat using uk grown Hersbrucker. Too sweet for me, I may be drinking too warm again.

Choice of 3, couldn’t decide.
It’s burger night, but cooked indoors as I’ve been flat out all day.
The Casablanca Merlot seemed the most appropriate dinner companion in the end.

I'm drinking a cup of tea. I'm still unhappy as I slept in off nights=waste of day off. Then what was supposed to be a simple trip to Wickes to pick up the last bits to finish my lads room turned into a farce as stuff "in stock" was in the back and "getting it now" turned into "it'll be tomorrow " and unsure of how long I waited meant me giving my car reg so I hadn't outstayed my parking allowance. In the end I opted for second choice on flooring and skirting and in the process couldn't be bothered going for beer as the next ***** in the way was getting strangled.

If you end up back there with a rocket launcher, make sure it’s pointing the right way!

Easy done after do a block of night shifts. I try to break the cycle getting up at midday. Tough going but if I sleep on I can't sleep that night.
