What are you drinking tonight.

[brumbrew]

Testing a glass of carrot mead. Then a wee dram of Talisker before bed. Done nothing all day and I. Still feel knackered

 

[Leon103]

After a lovely Apa from @dan125 I am now drinking this delight

 

[Dode]

Just going to pour a wee glass of raspberry and lime cider. Pretty tasty stuff, but it's a bit more powerful than expected. Too much sugar given to feed too much yeast. Next time I'll be a bit more sensible.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I have a couple of bottles of this for starters later.

 

[braziliain]

Starting off with a High Wire tonight from Magic Rock. Wifey is on their Cannonball IPA. Cracking brewery.

 

[prog99]

Calpe craft beer festival. Free entry with beers around 2-3 euros.
The beers are varied and excellent. Home brew stall too.

 

[brumbrew]

Just finished a brew day. Just opened a hobgoblin IPA that's been in the fridge for days. Got a bottle of owd Roger in there too.

Old peculiar is the first "real ale" I tried and which opened up this fantastic hobby. I should realy do a clone.

 

[marshbrewer]

A Ron Pattinson's historical recipe - 1954 Whitbread Double Brown ale. It's not too bad. I should have used a more neutral yeast, I think.

It's one I now regularly buy, to think it wasn't that many years ago I wouldn't have touched it (and all the other beers I have tried) with a bargepole as I only liked lager back then.

No need to be ashamed chippy Most of us have been through a lager phase when younger

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Sometimes with half a pint of cider and blackcurrant mixed in.

When I left home in the late 80's, and foolishly went 'daawn sarf ' to Poly I found myself in a real ale desert. I must admit lager, newkie brown and cider were the only things that kept me from the horrors of sobriety.

That's like confessing to being a "flasher" ...

... but I have to admit that I drank lager in large quantities in the 1960's; and after pouring in a goodly dollop of Lime Juice it became quite drinkable after about the fifth or sixth pint!

 

[Gulpitdarn]

Shamefully it'll be commercial Newcastle Brown ale as I don't yet have any home brews in store.... I need the bottles see.

Just finished a phone call with an old friend who also reminded me that "Lager & Black" was an option as well as "Lager and Lime" and "Lager and a Splash" (lemonade).

Her comment also reminded me exactly how **** the old Carlings and Heineken Lagers were (are?)!

Not as rubbish as Skol and Harp were!

 

[brumbrew]

Urg skol. That stuff gives me the shivers. Drank plenty of that back in my teenage years.

Edit. And K cider. Which you can still get.

I remember that! It came out just after diamond white, didn't it? Was in a dark bottle.

It's in a black can now with a red K on front. About 9%. Evil stuff!
