Bit after the fact this post - but yesterday I was at the Pipes Brewery halloween bash in Cardiff with the family. Had a very nice smoked lager, a rather strange pumkin ale and a `farmhouse saison'.
What are you drinking tonight?

Cwrw666 was drinking lager?! Stone him!
Just messing, sounds really good.

Most of their beers were continental style so there weren't any British type ales on offer. The smoked lager was very drinkable but I can't say it tasted like any lager I've ever had before.:lol:

I have to say, apart from a couple of bottles from a very local brewer, I haven't bought commercial beer for ages. I've lost the taste for it. I used to snatch up Badger beers whenever I saw them, TT Landlord was a must, and every now and again, I would go all Germany Wheaty mad. Since I started brewing again (but AG, not kits - please don't tie me to a post and burn me!) I haven't enjoyed my usual selection anywhere near as much. Maybe it's subliminal - I have realised in my subconscious how much I have spent on nice beer when, let's face it, I can make nice beer for maybe 1/6th of the price...

Problem is - haven't got a clue why!
And saisons don't tend to be clear do they? :-D

According to BJCP, clarity 'can be poor to good'. Guess mine would fall in the good end! I suspect it had something to do with a longer than usual period in the fv (4 weeks instead of my usual 2) and really hungry yeast....

I'm drinking a Black Rock Whispering Wheat and a Wilko light pilsner. I've overdone the extra fermentables on both of them and they're a right pair of growlers at 7%+ each. I'm having to have a lemonade top on them and they've got a kick like a mule. The only saving grace is a bottle of my Wilko Hoppy Copper which is a nice civilized 5.8% and gorgeous. May God have mercy on my soul in the morning.

I'm having a "bought" night too. Trying out a few I fancied or heard good things about. It's a nice change now and again and now I'm doing okay for bottles I can bare to buy beer that isn't in a brown pint bottle.
Besides it'll all add to the conditioning time of the home made which never hurts.
