What are you drinking tonight?

[SiWHU]

I had a couple of pints of Butcombe Haka earlier in my local. Thought it was similar to my Green St IPA...until i came home, cracked open a bottle and realised what a hop bomb the GS IPA is :drink:

 

[Dads_Ale]

The last few pints of Black IPA

 

[wheazy_joe]

Just poured a Tempest Brewing Co. Brave New World IPA, 330ml bottle. 7% abv. Absolute beast of a beer, one bottle is definitely enough!

Always the best, eh :p

That was me one time... least you get to accumulate bottles!!

Defo upto to 25 now and I have just ordered a wilkos velvet stout kit for brew number 2 and I'm gonna use very dark spray malt and 1/4 tin of dark treacle in it

Started with a bottle of hoodwinked. A lager from my local brewery. Not my thing.

Now drinking my Belgian dark or the 96er as I call it, after its 9.6% taste. I mistakenly brought in a super size swing top bottle. I thought the wife would want some but it's too strong for her. It will be my last, got work tomorrow.

I'd buy that beer just for the bottle - it's lovely

I guess nothing as On call. Used to hate it when I had to do it. Now i just work fri and sat nights every other week instead gah!

I just had a crafty hen and I liked her :drink:

Thanks. Here is the bottle in more detail. Got a couple of these. My father went to Belgium a few years ago and have them to me full of wheat beer. If I remember correctly they were about a euro each (with beer)

First tester of the Coopers Saison, two weeks in bottles. Wow that is good reminds me very much of Grimmbergen and Leffe. Though I think the carbonation is a bit low, I was warned that it would be a bit keen so didn't use as much. So let's see in another two weeks, if I can wait that long.

So far tonight:

330ml can of Adnams dry hopped lager - really enjoyed it even though the IBU at 17 was way below my usual bitterness liking.

2 x 330ml cans of Crafty Dan 13 Guns American IPA. Excellently hopped beer with a great bitterness at 43 IBU.

And just poured a 500ml bottle of Pilsner Urquell. No need to give any blurb on the Urquell. The daddy of beer IMO.

Wheezy joe, I was at the homebrew shop in Partick not long ago (even though I was meant to be working in Biggar :whistle:) where do you go for homebrew supplies or is it all Internet ?
Cheers

 

[Sonnal]

After a long brew day, having a Patersbier or 2, home brewed of course.

Last night I had three very nice pints: Best was Redwillow Directionless, an amber ale with Centennial and Amarillo hops, which was fantastic, and I am going to make a red ale soon and may well use that hop combo. A pint of Thiornbridge Sequoia, another amber ale with similar hops, also excellent, and a pint of Conwy West Coast Pale Ale, which was very good, and is a resurrection of a beer originally made in Manchester by West Coast Brewing in Chorlton-on-Medlock.

This aft I had a pint of Hopback Summer Lightning, nice, and a pint of Mobberley Vienna Red, which was very good.

Opened a 1L growler of stout earlier. It's the first time I've used them and this was the first one I've opened. The swing top when off like a gunshot and had a bit of beer fountain. I only primed it 5g/L like I do everything else.
Wonder if growlers are a bit like mini kegs and you have to prime them a bit less than you would a bottle?
Stout didn't last long so I opened a bottle of bitter after that.

The shop up on Dumbarton Road so that'll be the same one. Great wee shop actually, now understand why women live shopping can spend ages in that shop!

I get some stuff from Tesco direct as well but try to keep it to a minimum and get most stuff from that shop, gotta support the local businesses!

Yes,Good shop,went in for a look and came out with a Muntons Old Conkerwood :thumb:
Love2brew seems decent online, I've just got a Beerworks Sheepdog Bitter, 2 x Coopers Euro Lager and a medium tub of steriliser for £46 with free delivery.
My local homebrew shop is a health food shop and the homebrew is extortionate :shock:

I couldn't wait so I had another of my Coopers Saison's and it is growing on me. Will have to play around with this one for sure. Looking forward to when it have had month or two in bottles.

Then I popped open one of my "moonshine" aka failed brews, drinkable as a 2nd or 3rd pint and still not something I would pass around among friends, but it would be wrong to just tip out.

Just opened one of my American pale ales. Not that pale. Lovely taste and cracking head. The chief taster loved it and was gutted I inly put one in the fridge. This was one that was originally in the barrel but I transferred into the bottle.
