What are you drinking tonight 2024.

I picked up some local beer at the school Xmas fete yesterday.

First up is Sostice:

It’s very dark for bitter, practically zero carbonation. The bottle lists 5 hops then says it tastes of fruitcake and chocolate which is a bit of a contradiction? Ultimately it does taste like fruitcake which is unusual.

 

[Rwilts]

Why would you need five hops for a standard bitter , what how are they?

Just been out in what felt like a monsoon, now we’ve dried off we’re having mulled wine and mince pies.

To answer my own question

To answer my own question

Yes it’s odd heh? The bottle lists Challenger twice as in separate additions yet there is no perception of hop or bitterness. The final result is a taste much better than any artificial fruitcake flavour- it would be worth celebrating.

Just read your post out to Mrs Clint...who now inspired...tells me she would like Baileys hot chocolate with chocolate squirty cream on the top. And a mince pie.

Several good pints of Hophead

Tried Pedigree for a change, but was utter vinegar. Think that's the first pint I've ever sent back.

I’m on my own for a Sunday cocktail. So I’m having a Corpse Revivor No.2.

Chill an appropriate glass. Rinse some ice in Absinth in a shaker. 1 shot each of lemon juice, Lilete Blanc, Cointreau and gin. Shake and serve.

I bottled some of this English IPA to free up a keg a few months ago.
Admiral and Challenger, fermented with Verdant. Brewed another very similar batch yesterday, not very adventurous but it's what I like to drink !

 

[Clint]

I have a bitter recipe I've tinkered with which on the last brew was really good. It uses challenger.

Had a glass of this rather nice Bordeaux (which has become my go to for the moment) alongside Somerset Pork. It’s just a really good Bordeaux.

Now with everything cleared up having a glass of Jura.
