What are you drinking tonight 2025

[dlowe1992]

Spent a very enjoyable Friday evening at Lymestone Brewery in Stone. Cracking beer and a very hospitable owner giving a knowledgable talk / tour.

Now I’m sampling my TT Landlord clone. My, a couple of weeks conditioning has been great for this. Sample on transfer had some strong yeasty flavours I wasn’t sure would condition out, but now I’m getting the pleasant stone fruit flavours, even if it hasn’t dropped clear yet. Planning a couple more brews with the top cropped 1469 yeast.. it seems a belter!

Kiwi pale ale, Moutere & Nelson Sauvin fermented with CML Pia.
Still resolutely hazey but very drinkable lush grapefruity bitterness.
Checked my notes and I had similar results
last time I used this yeast.

And so on to tonight's tipples, very similar to last night's!
My CADB to start with:

Then moving on to my Kent Gold ale :

A lovely stout, bit unusual but very good.

Progressing on to lamb mini roast.
That's a lamb chop roasted with shallots, stabbed-in garlic and parboiled potatoes.
Oh.......... and the half bottle of Madiran left over from last night's pheasant.
There were green vegetables too!

Mmmmm, Armagnac.
Nuff said.

If it's anything like my B.I.L's '46 Armagnac, that will be superb!
(it was a gift from a client,
The BIL was a director of business accounts of a well known high street bank).
What a world the other half move in!
But so smooth and tasty!

This was a present from a lifelong best friend who knows my tastes and earns considerably more than I do!
It was worth every penny of whatever he spent on it. And I fully expect him to complicit in its disposal!
