What are you drinking tonight 2024.

You’d probably like Sharps Original too but will struggle to find it. I do know of one pub in Cornwall where some of the locals refused to accept anything else. I believe it’s now only made in small batches to the original recipe and available only at a few outlets.

I last had Sharps Original (and Sea Fury) in The Castle Inn on Fore Street, St. Ives. Mind you, if you find yourself in St.Ives you have to visit The Pilchard Press Alehouse on the sea front. Nice cask beers and a great atmosphere - l could live there!

We were in St Ives in September on our beer pilgrimage to the Blue Anchor in Helston. Lovely place St Ives but crowded and no parking. You can get Sea Fury in Brixham and Dartmouth.
PS Do you have a recipe for the Sharps Original?

No I don’t have a recipe, sorry.

We get the train into St.Ives from the Saltings or St. Erth - plenty of parking, the train isn’t expensive and the journey is short. Not so good if you can’t walk very far - although you could say the same for most of Cornwall!

First taste of the Summer Strata SMASH from TMM .. loving this so far , got that light hoppy taste not much bitterness.

Brewed on the 28th October and bottled 11th November, been in fridge for three days.

First taste, oatmeal stout V2. 25 days bottled, I'm expecting to leave it another couple of weeks. Pretty pleased, and definitely an upgrade on V1, I toned down the choc malt a tad, and all the better for it, I think
.

Ha! I've got the train from The Saltings many moons ago!

You know it makes sense!

This gave me a big headache so that's off of the brew planning list now

I’m having a cask bitter as a reward to myself after finding an intermittent fault on our garden lights that kept tripping the circuit breaker. We’ve not had the lights for the last two nights because of this and really missed them. It turned out to be a string of 240v LED garden lights on the gazebo in case you wondered . I’ve ordered a new set but in the meantime all the other lights are grand.

If one has to be AF for a day or two this is probably unbeatable.

My favourite AF beer from that stable is Caesar Augustus. It’s a lager/IPA hybrid and you’d be hard pressed to identify it as AF.

I thought I was opening a research beer, turns out I needed to have done more research before buying as it’s the wrong type of bock!

Not a fan it’s rather cloying and made with hop extract like the cheapest macro lagers.

Oh no I now remember having that some years ago and saw it in the Glasgow supermarket but it didn't click so I have missed out!

First sample of Brett Saison MK2. Been 200 days since I blended the saison with a couple of litres of Brett Saison. Bottled a month ago, nice carbonation already after adding sugar and champagne yeast to bottles

The cockup after 2 weeks in the keg, you can see each swig I had, I will be brewing this again soon

Saw this in my local Tesco the day after watching the Jiddler's Tipple episode on the Malt Miller's YouTube channel, so thought I'd give it a go.

Very crisp, fresh and drinkable. Light citrusy aromas. I'll definitely get this again.
