Getting the prep for the steak night with a lovely lambic.

Starting the weekend with my pilsner

That looks fantastic.

Save me running in and out to the garage. It’s low carbonation means it’s perfect for decanting.

Back home with a Lidl pretend Moretti.

I'm on a guest beer now from @Stu's Brews ,this one is a golden ale.
Looks the part and has nice bread/cereal aroma with a little herbal light citrus .
I'm liking the flavour, feels more of a modern English hops possibly blended with something more traditional. Citrus and berry..maybe something like Jester or Harlequin. Probably wrong. Enjoying though

ST Valentine's Day (sorry folks),
Her preprandial, a Vintage Prosecco Rose, and a good host always samples the wine first .

Then my proper drink, my CADB bitter blend.
Aahhhh.....

Moving on, my Kent Gold ale using my own First Gold hops.
Nectar, but NOT sweet, obs.

Glad you're enjoying it - you were half right, it uses East Kent Goldings paired with Centennial for the flavour/aroma additions, along with some Cascade for the bittering addition.

This is the beer that won gold at the Scottish Nationals, the only feedback (which I agreed with) was that it could do with a touch more from the later hop additions.

Dinner is taking a little longer than planned.
Time for an extra preprandial!

Same brew, different cask of the Kent Gold ale.
I do like my homebrew,
Luckily!

That's cool..it's a nice beer..cascade definitely gives it a bit of a modern feel without getting to hoppy.

I'd never considered using Cascade for bittering until we did at Hook Norton last year - so I have to give some credit to Robin from their brewing team for the inspiration.

Happy Friday all,

Starting tonight with Master stoat and TT Landlord -

 

[LesTom]

This is a rich and roasty masterpiece

 

[YeastFace]

Testing my Hoppy Amber. Only 8 days in the keg so not clear enough. Definite old school West Coast hop vibe. Should be decent, I think.

The resinous quality I was after is almost there, but not how I had in my head/tastebuds. Will have to review hops and when they are added in the process

My meat is adequate
The steaks were from SuperValu carn. €15 for the big one 1.2kg and €8 for the other 800g. Best steaks in the country

An after dinner valentines present from her that knows me well. And this is a fantastic example of new Irish whiskey smooth and so much flavour
