It's a bit bloody cold too be sitting out in the garden!I didn’t have any beer yesterday so today a beer is definitely on the cards. I’m starting with a cask bitter and with the glorious sunshine we’re having, the picture has to be in the garden.

This is becoming one of my favourite beers. I had the politically correct version last month, but the black market Hazelnut extract works so much better. I’ll park my left leaning centralist viewpoint for the next half hour and bask in the glory of @phildo79's Hazelnut Brown Ale. It’s a truly wonderful brew, cheers mate

PS. When’s the next batch going on, asking for a friend

Good evening, happy weekend and happy new year to everyone!
We got a box of Brewdog beer for Christmas, so we thought we'd start with this one, as this was the room theme we stayed in when we visited the hotel in Manchester. Hope that made sense

Ok. Now I am ready for the darts
A couple of Speyburns to finish this evening before going on to the Coke zero (bloody new years resolutions 
)
Not as nice as many other bourbon cask single malts I've tried, a bit flat initially, the bourbon comes through a bit with the addition of a bit of water but it didn't really stand out for me.
I'm not usually a huge fan of rum cask single malts (or rum in general for that matter) but this was a pleasant surprise. Really smooth and amazingly complex considering it's a cheap whisky, definitely turned me on to the rum side of things!

Personally best luck I’ve had with alcohol free is Guinness Zero, also just to rub in that I’m not bothering with dry January this year.
Same here, easiest couple of months sober ever, got through a crate of the stuff and found it far more enjoyable than the regular version!
Need to free some kegs and keezer space. Just finished the ESB so time for a stout.
Watching the darts final and sipping this uber smooth stout.
Can I give the guys at Impossibrew a massive plug.
I discovered them at the end of the summer. I don't get much of the 'buzz' they talk about. I'm guessing that is because I'm usually navel deep in beers that runn between 5 and 7% ABV. However, the Lager and Pale Ale are both exceptionally tasty (compared to the no alcohol competition). Perfect if you're having a dry night, or even month.

Regular.
Best of the trio. Still prefer a westy
I'm trying more of the Pipster. And stoking up the fire with...Pip next to me while watching something about a blind frog ranch...

Haven’t posted much on here over Xmas, mainly due to most drinking being done in our favourite local pubs. Plenty of HPA, Shropshire Gold B&P Original Bitter.
One planned Christmas brew went down the drain due to a series of cock ups during fermenting. However, the leftovers I chucked in an empty ashbeck bottle and fermented with some leftover London turned out great…
Today the first sample of a rum and vanilla Porter brewed just over two weeks ago. Recipe courtesy of the Malt Miller and their YouTube channel.. it’s bloody lovely!!

The last bottle of Bierre De Garde that hadn’t been packed up for moving day. The big charge of aromatic malt is doing the heavy lifting on the flavour front. It’s glorious.
What aromatic malt?
