What are you drinking 2024.

Having one of my Schwarzbier's

Sounds tasty

Thanks ! It's a variation on a tried and trusted recipe, I think Verdant works really well in this style.

Forgot the important bit. A dark lager from @samale.

Lovely chestnut colour, clear dark amber when held to the light. Finger of foam and decent lacing throughout the drink.

Clean aroma. No esters, sulphur, diacetyl, or DMS. Lightly toasted bread, slight woodsy herbal note.

Flavour wise get some caramel and toasty notes, but mostly clean. There's a touch of grassy bitterness I associate with Northern Brewer - interested if you've used this or something similar.

Mouthfeel is quite light and refreshing and washes the pallate.

For personal preference I'd like a touch more bitterness and carbonation.

Overall a nice drinking lager I could sink a few of. Thank you for sending pal

I didn't record the recipe for some reason but I did find this.
Not sure why it's called a Christmas lager. My recipe is pilsner low and high Carmel malt. Carafa 2 at mash out for colour, saaz hops for bittering and flavour.

It was based on drinking lervig julebock in the ship and mitre in Liverpool. Carbonation is my fault, I had the gas turned down for some reason. Not a bad attempt at my first dark lager

still a bit breezy but that’s the better half at work and the wee man tucked up in bed, so a beer in the garden it is!

And with that, it’s promptly started raining!

Spaten Hell whilst enjoying a pork knuckle and some accompaniments.

Don't enjoy yourself too much..

Another commercial Schwarzbier comparison..this one is less roasty than my beer..very clean and crisp..

1st preprandial my KCB bitter.
A tasty bitter palate cleanser.
I'm late as I wanted to complete this self-build project sober,
Done!

2nd preprandial beer, my Camden Amber ale.
Hops not so vibrant as at first. Tasty and hoppy none the less.

I like the look of watches...but I cannot wear one!
I'm 25+ years disliking wearing a watch. I think I might have a watch somewhere from the 1980's.

Sadly coming to the end of my Citra IPA, must order some more Citra hops

 

[old dog new tricks]

Started with this

Then moved on to this

This stuff never gets old (neither does the 12 yr old Aberlour)

Get it on flog it

Motueka & Celeia Belgian pale next

 

[dad_of_jon]

First beers of the week. Shared one of these with a punnet of moluscs.

Moules-Frites, mosselsaus and crusty baguette is my absolute favourite meal. Great with Hefes, Gueuze or a hoppy English pale. Scottish mussels are the best. View attachment 97793

In order of greatness from L to R too

Errr, I might have ....... a few!
English Smiths ('47 - '70) are my favourite.

 

[dad_of_jon]

Just back from homebrew club, nice folk and nice beers. I’m having a Pirate Pale and my wife…yup!
