My wife took an old lady shopping again and as usual bought me a few beers.
I’ve already had the Steam Ales and now on the bottles.

From experience it will overpower the others apart from the Porter possibly.
This one next. It’s not bad but is a bit thin.

Washing down a Cadac curry with a sour beer. Don't tell SWMBO that I am drinking her stock

Onto this old classic (light bulb by verdant, if image doesn't upload). After having so many hop bombs this week, this seems a light subdued.
I was at a friend's funeral yesterday. Renewed vows to not put things off for later.
Just finishing this off not bad for super market
My first ever pimped kit from my first ever keg. Yorkshire bitter.
Not hugely impressed, I've been doing all grain only for the last six years so it's entirely possible that my tastes have changed, but it's a tad too bitter and has a very 'kit' taste.
I think it was a 'Ritchies Simply Yorkshire Bitter' kit, I used Kveik Voss yeast instead of the supplied stuff, subbed in a kilo of DME instead of sugar and added half a dozen drops of Nectaron hop oil to the keg before filling.
Never kegged before so the anticipated disasters thankfully didn't occur, but the finished beer is a bit ..meh.

Visiting the Orkney brewery and enjoying a tasting tour. Also about to try the most expensive beer I’ve ever bought £17.50 for 330ml of oak conditioned 10% Dark Island reserve….I’ll let you know if it’s worth it

After a very agreeable morning spent exploring the Old Town and touring the city walls, it’s time for some more day drinking.
The Hilton Imperial in Dubrovnik does a rather fine Negroni.

Pub lunch with friends and several pints of Sussex Best on cask. Lovely.
Fair while since I'd a few of these.

Time for one of my own. This is my cask best bitter.
@Buffers brewery you asked about the flavour….
Clarity is again improved on the last pint I poured but still not crystal clear. Carbonation is soft and the head is a lovely long lasting cask-like foam. The flavour is actually quite complex with malt, hops, esters, and bitterness all beautifully balanced. The malt flavour is maybe white bread crust, hops slightly earthy and spicy with a floral hint and a touch of tea, esters are subtle with just a hint of red apple, bitterness is soft and lingering. The mouthfeel is also soft and with the beer served at ambient temperature it’s so easy drinking it almost just melts away in the mouth.
