What are you drinking 2024.

[matt.]

I think it is very nice, i nearly always pick a couple up in our local Aldi, also look for the beer especial in the black bottle it is rum infused and very very nice

Thanks, I didn't see that beer you mentioned but I'll keep an eye out for it. I was surprised at the variety of gins and rums they have. Mrs has a b/day coming up .......

I had to pass the Porter tap on the way to the Pale Ale tap and as I did I thought “Oooo, Porter”.

Ah! It surprised you then? Just like something out of Scooby Doo...

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I managed to get past the Porter tap this time . Cheers!

When there is too much choice you have to go with a paddle. A lager and two different NEIPA

Cracking. 4 different vendors. Burgers, Thai, Mexican and Indian. Massive portions and really cheap

Ready for a brew day tomorrow and enjoying a Cobblers Bitter.

It's bluestone, welsh version of Centre Parcs. About 90 mins from home so perfect.
Also near a caravan dealer so we will be popping into look for a new van

Saves the vendors arguing over who's cutlery is who's.

Ready for the weekend, free delivery all the way from the Cairngorms

Aldi £2.99.
Any thoughts before I pop the top tonight ?

( I thought the bottle was worth £1 for my home brew. )

I like that beer..not sure it's a particularly good example of a Triple but nice enough Belgian..easy drinker. As you say 750 swing top bottles are ideal for homebrew club nights so I have got a couple

I have a suspicion Aldi are being a little cute with their labelling with this beer, looking at the ABV of 6%.
That is low even for a Belgian Blonde.
Biere Tripel are considerably higher at 8 - 10%.
Aldi's labelling is misleading in that it is making more out of the Tripel Grains than the actual beer style.
Hence why it appears thin for a Tripel - it ain't.
Being sneaky I would say.

Just found this The Barmen review on YouTube who confirm this in the title,
