What are you drinking tonight 2024.

[LesTom]

A mojito to start the day

 

[SMP Brewery]

A couple of beers for the footy. Finally got a TT to compare. Mine still hasn’t cleared it might be a bit of chill haze as well as the fridge is too cold for a bitter. Colour wise it’s not too far off needs something to add a bit more colour, it has better head retention and lacing, could be the glass though. Not quite as bitter and perhaps a bit more floral, perhaps the EKG as a hop stand. Not a bad first effort.

It’s getting there the hops are starting to sing the last glass will be spectacular

How are you finding the geterbrew range of beers

 

[rybinss]

hope you enjoyed your birthday @ 531man . A sub €3 bottle to celebrate a Spain win. Naff label but at that price it can have a
hippo in a tutu on it. It delivers!

 

[Leon103]

A modern saison

I’ve only had a couple, but they’ve all been fairly solid.

That’s a nice glass Dave, where’d you get that?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

After a miserable day weather-wise it’s suddenly cleared up and turned nice. I’m starting tonight with a McEwans Champion because I’ve seen it on the Forum a couple of times recently and can’t remember ever drinking it. I’m actually quite struck by how much it tastes like a beer I brewed some time ago.

Dark Rock "Hazy Daze"

Very happy with this. ABV? Can't remember

A friend kindly walked out of a local bar with it and gave it to me

Recipe please H i love champion

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Family birthday celebration in our favourite local The Old Farmhouse Ulverston, my favourite Celebration ale flowing happy days

Back home £90 lighter (we split the bill) its not a wonder pubs are closing so regularly love the place and the food and beers but who can afford to do this regularly, not me.

I’ll have to see if I still have it (and if I can find it!).

 

[Alastair70]

Pizza oven ready, time to crack open a holiday fun sized Heverlee.

 

[Tanglefoot]

Back home after our holiday my Olicana pale has had another two weeks to condition and is just the job after an epic lawn mowing session.

Next up is a version of Five Points Best Bitter from @dave_77 I don’t have a bottle of the original to compare it with but who cares if it’s nice - and it is. It’s a lovely bitter - beautiful malt flavour (dark bread crust), slightly spicy from the hops, just the right bitterness (a little less bitter than 5-points), and just look at that head. Thanks Dave.

I'm on it too

I like Amstel. It;s made by Heineken, but is drier. I like the flavour of Heineken, too, but it has a residual sweetness that spoils it.

For me it’s incredibly nostalgic I can remember the big brown bottles when I was on holiday in Greece with my parents as a kid (and getting to take them back for the deposit to spend on more appropriate for children beverages).

And speaking of Greece I am having a glass of Metaxa.
