Been a while since I've had this cracker

I was feeling a little cabin fever and Iron pier brewery was calling me for a couple of pints and chill. It was calling me for a reason....Taras Boulba on draught...boom . One of my favourite beers that I have only had on draught once..2 pints and some soul music (Halloween DJ) and I'm a new man

Tales from the bivvy...

Latest pale ale same malt and hops as last one different yeast, this one has midland last one had Voss, this is a better beer a lot cleaner and the hops stand out more

 

[SMP Brewery]

Bought a couple of dozen bottles from a local wine merchant and they worked out on average at 7.5 a bottle, well this a lovely smooth Shiraz, impressed so far. Not sure my palette is discerning enough to enjoy a wine three times the price will be three times better.

Enjoying this

First pour of my Dry Irish stout on nitro. It’s exactly what I was shooting for, dark chocolate roasted malt flavours all the way. The touch of chocolate rye fills out and rounds off the body and mouthfeel. I’m very happy.

Looks good. Dry Irish stout is next on my list. I should really get nitro. I wonder what the smallest cylinder of gas is.

Easing myself into the afternoon with a 3.4% Bitter from Hawkshead

Seems I’ve come to London when there are various marches going on, so skiffs only in the pub. Having a pint of Ducking autoconnect.

Found this on the brewery website and it made me laugh.

Yep 2 marches going on, police helicopter and vans everywhere so they took the decision to use skiffs today just in case.

A pint of Punch & Judy in the Punch & Judy whilst the better half tackles Covent Garden, at least it’s in a glass.

I got one of these from The Malt Miller. Haven't used it yet, but the principle is that you carb your beer to the correct level (7psi for me) and then use the nitrogen to push it out. Have a stout nozzle for the tap as well.

Will probably try it in a week or so, if you want to wait I'll report back on how it works. It uses 2g nitrogen bulbs which are supposed to be able to push 4.5l of carbed beer, 2.5 if not carbed. I've a 9.5l corny that I'll use for this, so that there's not too much headspace.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Nothing for me just yet. We’re out visiting a couple of friends tonight so I’m taking a selection of bought beers and a couple of litres of my cask bitter. He will have a selection of beers and we’ll have a good time drinking the beers we know and sharing the ones we don’t or that we both love. I’ve never had the Winter Warmer for example.

 

[hop-a-long]

Still no alcohol for me unfortunately. However I haven't seen this one before. This is an alcohol free White.

Two Trappist beers in comparison
- the reference, TW 12
- the challenger, my Trappist with its own recipe.
The same prerequisites for both beers: same glasses, same drinking temperature 13-15°C, same vintage 2023, same yeast.
After a long afternoon of tasting, my subjective result is clear: the TW 12 and my own Trappist are on a par, so it's a 5 to 5 draw.
Today is a wonderful day.

Ich starte entspannt in den Nachmittag mit einem 3,4%igen Bitter von Hawkshead
