What are you drinking tonight 2024.

BTW, do you make your own hand wash detergent (backdrop in the photo)?
Looks like an unbranded dispenser!

I’ll have to revert to Mrs70 for an answer to that, but I expect she’s most likely sourced an environmentally sustainable refill supplier.

A small glass of bitter (probably just before a large glass of bitter!) while finishing a part-baked baguette to have with a ploughman’s. Despite the weather forecast being a bit grim for today it’s very hot and sunny.

A perfectly acceptable Bordeaux from Aldi.

I got lost in the wine isles of M&S and came home with a bottle of Cream Sherry.its exactly as described a smooth sweet pale cream sherry.

Drinking a Blackberry Wheat Ale that I kegged/bottled last week. 3kg Lager malt, 2kg Wheat malt, 30g Hallertauer Tradition (20 IBU) and White Labs American Hefeweizen Ale Yeast. About 2kg of Blackberries that my daughter and I picked were added once fermentation was winding down, in which a few hours later pushed themselves up into the airlock. Luckily, that's as far as it went and all I had to do was change the airlock. 4.9% ABV tart, with a bit of sweatness. Quite hazy, which I'm guessing is from the wheat and/or from the dead bugs.

Never had this before so got it from Morissons on a multi deal. A bit on the fizzy side but keeps its head. Not that different to St Austell Tribute.

I had a couple of bottles of that a few weeks ago i enjoyed it, i like St Austell Tribute so its probably not a surprise.

Last day of our Greek holiday so after breakfast and a bus ride into Chania, first stop was a coffee shop and a piece of cherry pie (not very Greek). After a bit of retail therapy I managed to steer the wife into a harbour-front bar. Discovered they stocked Cretan microbrewery beers. First up, Jasmine.

Describes it as an IPA but for me it was a very nice NEIPA. Second up was Lyra

This was more like an IPA for me. Very nice. Then it was time for lunch. A short walk around the harbour found us in a nice Taverna.

Lunch for me was a grilled sea bream and a Harmas larger. So nice I had a second (Harmas not sea bream).
So far so good but still had a couple of hours to kill. A stroll, a sit and another stroll found us in another seafront bar. Cocktail time? Why not. Espresso martini for me!

With an hour to go before we had to catch the bus to the airport I managed to squeeze in an Erdinger. The Espresso martini seems to have had on my ability to pour a beer!

Now at the airport waiting for our flight home (2 hours late )

One of the finest stouts there is (imo)

My second AG Vienna Lager - this time pressure fermented in my fermzilla at room temperature, rather than a bucket in the ferm fridge. It's been lagering at 5degC for 4 weeks now and is crystal clear. Really enjoying this style and loving the fermzilla for doing my lagers.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Can’t believe how much traffic there was on the roads home so had a TT Landlord when arrived home.

Then a a take away with this Malbec and for the price it’s one of the nicest I’ve had.

 

[Mash Monster]

Cheeky lunch time pint

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

A glass of my Best Bitter, not the one I kegged this morning!

 

[Rodcx500z]

Sluming it again in East Lyndsey, I love it here

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m having another try of my cask Pirate Pale. I’m not sure when it will be at peak condition but I don’t think this is it just yet, very nice though it is.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Kegged Pirate Pale now and this is better than the cask version (at this point in time). The kegged version is far more crisp and clean tasting, and the hops shine more brightly.

As seems to be the style in Crete a glass of Raki to finish the meal.

I seem to remember there is some custom associated with Raki. I think it is an insult to refuse one or something like that.

I have that custom with all drinks
