Just drinking my last bottle of meantime porter clone. Very sad, probably the best beer ive made...
So just slipped a smog rocket clone from the "carbing room" into the fridge. I give it an hour...
Just had the first bottle of Festival New Zealand Pilsner it's ok still very young and tastes like a hoppy light ale not a pils, next try will be Christmas I expect it'll be properly ready by then, got an IPA on at the mo then I'm going to crack my first from a batch of Cwtch just finished carbing but I don't want to wait another two weeks to try it :)
After a mammoth Christmas shop with the misses today involving both Reading and Newbury she new I had behaved well and mentioned I might enjoy a refreshing beverage in my favourite beer pub in Newbury.
Boy I was not to be disappointed today when I walked in "wild weather brewery oatmeal stout" 7.5 abv on pump.. boom...
What a fantastic pint that was.. Thinking id better try something else for my second I ordered an APA "bursting with hops", I'm not going to mention the brewery but I couldn't find a single hint of a hop anywhere near that pint glass what a let down..
Good job I picked up a bottle of "milk shake" by Wiper and True from the bottle shop when she was in paper chase...
I slipped a mate of mine a bottle of my last porter, When he texted be to say that he had just made a lovely pie out of it I nearly spat my dummy out..
Still I bet it did make a dam good pie:)
