What are you drinking tonight 2024.

[Mash Monster]

Just trying a kit beer Evil Dog double IPA I think I’ll stick to my usual AG brewing !
It’s 7.1% and tastes like rocket fuel! I can feel a head ache already !

 

[Mash Monster]

Well I’ve given up on the Evil Dog and back on my tried and tested hazy pale ……. A different class !!!

Neck Oil

While now brewed by a large (probably evil) multinational corporation it’s also still 24°C, very humid and this is ice cold and still has at least some flavour.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ve had a couple more beers from Windsor & Eton. The first was a sour with candy shop flavours. It was actually not bad and was just a bit tart rather than a full-on sour. The other is a pilsner that tastes almost the same as my Czech lager - very nice

And it gets worse in terms of beer sacrilege I’m drinking John Smiths Extra Smooth this is rather nostalgic for me it is both the first legal pint I ever drank and also something I used to drink in Birmingham Newstreer station on my way back from University. And you know what as much as people like to complain about it I still find it a very enjoyable easy to drink beer.

Lovely spot. I felt the need to drink plenty and buy a t shirt when there.

Did you get time to visit the Love Bar, round the corner and up the hill? Nice cocktail bar overlooking the port. I had to take SWMBO there as she’s partial to a cocktail or three and it would be ungentlemanly to refuse

 

[Rwilts]

Helpfully they provide a list

 

[Mr & Mrs Smith]

Last night's beer of choice was my wife's Robust Porter, I have been asked to mention it has three charges of EKG.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Seeing the references to cask beer in the favourite beer thread I felt the need for a small glass of my own cask bitter. Having had a sip I may soon feel the need to refill it

At the pub now having lunch with the grand-children before we take them to the cinema (Despicable Me 4). I’m drinking cask Pedigree.

Is that the one you go through the door in the walls and it’s a fantastic view ?

Yep..

Enjoyed a meal in the restaurant and a drink al fresco in the bar area

Witbier. Has been interesting to see this develop in the keg. First it was very citrus-led, then spice was at the fore. It all seems to have settled and melded together nicely.

Planning a quiet one this weekend, as off to a beer festival on Friday, and need to get back into my exercise routine after neglecting it for a few months.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

At the cinema now, a pint of Guinness here.

A tad hazy but still very pleasant CML Tropical England.

Sampling a pint of bitter I made recently and kegged during the week, something along the lines of Five Points but with EKG and Celeia in the whirlpool.

Better than expected, I do like a good stout and one that has pronounced coffee notes moreso, but there have been too many that taste like I'm knocking back a slightly carbed, boozy, glass of espresso.
This is quite nice, decent coffee flavour, albeit a tad too sickly, light carbonation and silky mouthfeel.
Overall a solid 7/10.

Not at all what I was expecting, admittedly I didn't read the label before I bought it, but when someone says 'ruby ale' I immediately think of red ale and similar stuff.
This is fruity...a little too fruity for my tastes, the label states 'damson and liquorice notes' but all I got was a big wet raspberry slap in the chops.
Bordering on alcopop territory, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I wanted a beer. An unfortunate 5/10.

Why did I choose this? I don't like fruit beers! Trying to broaden my horizons I suppose...
Not too bad actually, kinda cloudy, profound strawberry flavour and aroma. Looks and tastes a bit like a strawberry wine that hasn't quite cleared yet and someone decided to force carb for poops and giggles.
Not really in the realms of what I'd consider 'beer' but pretty good none the less, 6/10.

Delightful tipple, just hits the right balance of roasty toasty notes without becoming cloying, actually quite refreshing which I find odd in a stout, if only I tried this one years ago...actually, I have no idea how long Hobgoblin have been doing stout, but I'm definitely a fan!
Delicious, layered flavours and lasting pleasant caresses of toffee, coffee, caramel and deep dark malt.
A resounding 9/10.

I’m stuck in London for another night.
Consoled myself by going to Book Of Mormon this afternoon and I’m off to Lucky Cat in about an hour.
I’ll be rolling the Negroni dice and wishing for no more flight cancellations tomorrow.

I started with an ageing AG bitter of mine but could not decide whether it tasted just a bit off or whether I am suffering from post- Covid taste distortion. This is Oakham Citra about which there is no doubt whatsoever! And I'm not!
