What are you drinking tonight.

[marshbrewer]

I had a bottle of proper job the other night and was very underwhelmed. What do you think of it?

Also underwhelmed, BUT this needs to be taken in context; I'm getting a bit fed up of the 'more hops with everything' styles around at the moment, so have become a bit old and grumpy.

I find myself much preferring a White Shield type of IPA to a Proper Job type of IPA, if I'm honest. In fact, I am starting to drink more Milds and Dark ales. As I said, old and grumpy. :smile6:

I have not heard of white shield but i hear what you are saying. Have gone back to lagers and kolsch lately.

Tonight, a Rudgate Brewery Jorvik blonde ale (meh, OK ~ think I'm getting bored of blonde ales) and their Ruby Mild. Very nice.

Am supping on my lager and i just realised how clean it is compared to some of the bottled Polish beers used to drink. It makes me think there are classic "off flavours" or diacetyl in lots of commercial blagers. Does anyone get what i am on about as perhaps not explaing myuself very well?

Well my first brew is still bubbling so I have a founders centennial ipa can open. I have decided I need to drink a few single hop beers so I know what I need to be brewing with

Had a bottle of my Kitsters Last Stand ~ needs a bit longer carbing up, and then some time conditioning (the head was small and lasted only moments, the CO2 bubbles were quite large) but it's really nice, a worthy 'goodbye' to beer kits.

Now having a Batemans Victory. Gosh, this is an ale. Amazing. Perfect, almost. :beer6:

Tonight's delight will be my 'Holy Smoke' Bavarian style smoked lager brewed from an AG kit from Brewolution.
Full bodied, bit malty & SMOKEY..!!!
Nice if you like the style, but don't think l'll be doing it again anytime soon. :cheers9:

Well after having a few of my bulldog brew bad cat red....which is a bit meh!!!

I have the very special privilege of having what I believe to be the last bottle of RIS key business. Wow. Had only a few sips at the moment but ready to have Dad of Johns kids!!! Mrs SDT wants a second taste but no comprendy!!!!!!

DoJ kindly sent me this knowing it to be the last bottle so big props to him.


Edited after drinking.

Oh wow, went from being a cold coffee chocolate flavour to a warming liquorice/ raisins flavour. I can see why this was so highly applauded.

@dadofjohn.

Thanks, thanks very much

Two pints of Firehouse Brewery's Lincolnshire Country Bitter ~ really nice smooth dark ale.

Drinking 6 month old beers tonight - an ESB and an Old Ale, both along the lines of Greg Hughes' book recipes. Both bottled in August last year. The Old Ale is particularly good, the ESB perhaps less so, but it maybe should have been drunk a little while ago. It sort of got stuck at the bottom of the "to drink" pile. Jolly more-ish none the less!

Picked this up for a bit of a punt while shopping in tesco, Guinness Irish wheat, suprisingly good some citrus and banana on the nose. Not a full on Heffe but a lot better than i expected.

Had a couple of them and at £1.25 for a bottle it's a complete steal. Very nice wheat beer

Meant to tell you. I bought a 660ml bottle of Moretti a couple of weeks ago. Boring lager, but I did then bang it full of cocoa bourbon barrel aged imperial stout, inspired by your solo sharer bottle habit!

You rockin the black n tans now AJ?

In running low on stocks so I bought a couple of Harviestoun beers at Sainsbury tonight. They have always been one of my favourite breweries so I’m pretty sure homebrewing has ruined commercial bottled beers for me.

First up was The Ridge, which I’d never had before. It’s supposed to be hopped with Amarillo and Fuggles. I couldn’t pick out the Amarillo in either the aroma or the flavour. I could have been given it and told it was a bog-standard pale ale from Marstons or Greene King and I would have believed it. Better than if I’d bought a mass produced lager but nothing special.

Bitter & Twisted is/was one of my favourite beers and I had it in cask a couple of weeks ago and still loved it. Disappointed tonight. Similar applies with the standard pale ale comment above, but it was nicer, much more citrusy!

I should have got some American style beers.

 

[BeerisGOD]

had half a chocolate beer I made but chucked it down sink.
just finished a pimped wherry (why I had to add a tin of extra extract ill never know) and now on an AG APA centinial and cascade which aint too bad for a hard water area. my aim is to start treating my water. another road another mountain.
