Good evening guys and gals, just having a couple of these while I watch the black list on Netflix

We had this with our evening meal, this a new grape variety for me. I wasn’t sure at first but once it warmed up a tad (my wife likes her whites too cold for me) it’s not bad. Probably one for a summers day.

Seen this when I popped into Lidl first taste it's rather nice great to see some more choice in the shops at sensible prices

They've changed the bottle label!
I'll never cope with that at the beer aisle.

A quick preprandial of my Hoppy Pale ale of Kent.
We were late back from visiting old friends, resorted to a prize winning Folkestone harbour-bought fish and chips.
Taken home and had with the best NZ wine for it.
Vidal Sauvignon blanc.

Working my way through the Lidl stouts this is ok but poor head retention and maybe a little too much carbonation feels fizzy on the tongue so just lose some of the flavour

No posts from me last night because we had a family pub day followed by a meal at a good Indian restaurant. The pub had a load of cask ales and ciders on in the garden, all fresh and beautifully conditioned. Lovely . I could live there if they did that every day

On the table are a pint and a half of toffee apple cider, a cherry porter, and the guy is pouring me a pint of cask Proper Job. All £4 a pint, £2.50 for half.

Last nights beer was a Abbott Ale inspired beer from @Twostage . Nice enough beer, similar in taste to the Abbotts that i remember ...it's been a while.thanks for sharing.

Also had a very nice double IPA from Thornbridge that I picked up from Aldi.
Good option for £3.
Finished with my porter

Evening all. Ready for this after lots of walking today and then Fish chips n mushy peas down by the harbour.

First day back up in Orkney this month, not as active as I’d hoped but allowing myself a drink before a couple of weeks on call. Just finished making a couple of 2 portion vegetarian lasagnas, one for now and one for the freezer…. It’s a lot more yum than you might think… unlike this beer which I liked the sound of but on tasting realised I’d tried it before and it’s really quite odd… I am not convinced raspberry works in beers, has an odd slightly chemical bitterness to it. Having said that it did for lubrication while cooking and a bit of kitchen jiving to a brilliant jazz playlist I found.. so the music is smooth even if the beer isn’t .

Been drinking through some older bottles, this Challenger IPA I brewed last october was the pick of the bunch.


Not familiar with Cold IPA's but this is very quaffable, bready malt with grapefruity citrus and pine from Citra, Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin.

I've had a pig of a day. Still fannying about sorting the lads bedroom. Switches and sockets back on then about 5 hours of laying flooring,which I can do but I'm slow as getting on the knees and back up feels like I been run over...anyway,after some spectacular detailed cuts round the door,fitted wardrobes and rad pipes it's done! Got skirting to fit tomorrow and some tidying up.
Mrs Clint witnessed my plight and has bought beers from St Austell, Vocation and Brew Dog. Tribute is first.

Standing back and surveying your handiwork is a real pleasure isn't it .

(Sometimes, with me, there is a slight tinge of "Will she notice the..." )

I'm reticent with regard to fruit in beer too. Not a strict no but I'd rather not.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Well I’m a sad sight sitting at my bar all alone with a glass of Best Bitter! We have nothing planned for today, the weather is crap, and my wife has some things she wants to do around the house so no pub lunch today. Never mind, I’m comfortable in my own company and the beer is good .

Happy Bank Holiday Monday!
