What are you drinking tonight 2024.

Spectacular landscape up there and the weather was amazing. The sunsets are unreal. Amazing place we live in.

If the powers that be could stop the rain and give us a bit of sun

A couple of crackers from Outlandish Brewery

Did you cold steep the grain. I would be interested in seeing the recipe

I'll get back to you in the next few days.

Are you coming up North ?

Not sure yet, my sister is as good a policewoman as my wife for keeping a check on me.

I was at St P's a few weeks ago, tried 4 of the beers and none of them were very good...

It is as I expected they are very poorly looked after. It isn’t as though they are bothered by competition. I have had Doom Bar in other pubs and one was a particularly good session. Like a different beer.

Bought these when I arrived, for my palate, Timothy Taylor Landlord was the best followed by Courage Directors. But had nothing bad to say about any of them. All excellent beers.

I buy the Aldi labelled Master Stoat very very good.

Just testing the latest batch of saison.
This one had the failed attempt at using frozen yeast slurry, so had an emergency pitch of CML Belgian instead of the usual belle saison. It shows sadly as it's missing that extra funky dimension. Nice though.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Had this earlier. It's Badger Golden Glory. Not that golden nor glorious but OK.

Hmmm didn’t realise they’d resurrected it, but that look’s nothing like the old Golden Glory far too dark.

Probably another beer that has been tweaked to save costs.

Not sure if I want to try it as it used to be one of my favourite beers and so tarnish my fondness for it.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Time for a Storm, should had had this last week, would have been more appropriate. Yet another nice beer so that’s two for two so far.

Today in first tasting my Black IPA (version 2) "Black Devil" brewed as a split for a competition, with other hops.
9.2% alcohol by volume.
50 IBU Stw. 19,5°P

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m having a glass of my Pirate Pale tonight. I’ve been a bit quiet for the last couple of days recovering from the beer festival on Saturday with one daughter and a family pub day on Sunday with the other daughter.

Yesterday catch up.
Preprandial my Darkish Hoppy Bitter.
Nailed this one.
I'll use this as a base to vary the hops used.

Meanwhile SWMBO'D started as she meant to continue, a visitor gift that was way better than reviewed on t'interweb.
Unusual for a youngish Burgundy it had a deposit in the bottom, so needed decanting and filtering of the end of pour.
Wonderful fruit aromas, carried on to (dry) full morello cherry flavour and a velvety grip. A very good Hautes Cotes de Nuits.
Especially enjoyed as it was a gift.

You chose my two favourites out of them all

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Pub lunch with the grandchildren and I had London Pride. On the way home I had to pop into Waitrose to buy some oats for my brew tomorrow and found they had one of my favourite bottled beers on the shelf. Had to buy some

Wot, no Wherry?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

My Stout which is now quite old. I just checked, kegged mid February so maybe not as old as I thought. Still nice though

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m moving on to my Porter. I kegged a new batch a couple of days ago but this one was kegged in October last year and is still beautiful.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ve decided to move on to this beautiful port. My wife is having a small imperial for a change
