Don’t think I remember trying that - where from and how is it?

I really need to get a saison on. What's the best you've brewed?

This is my house saison recipe, it scored 44 in a BJCP competition a couple of years ago. Even though it's 25% rye malt, the rye flavour is fairly subtle but blends beautifully with the yeast flavours:

Do you like this one better than the recent one you brewed? Or is the base recipe better?

Ok it's gone 6 so have just poured a Mangrove Jack's American Pale. The bottle it came of merits a shot because of the name which not applicable to me now as it's too late for that!

Cheers chap!

That’s a huge score Steve.

It still didn't win, was beaten by another saison which was painful

They're completely different beers so hard to compare, but the recipe above is naturally much better as a "straight" saison, which I do prefer.

Rye malt...which to buy?

I normally use Weyermann malts, if you can't find dark rye then just add a little more of the standard rye.

On any other day...

Well that roast beef dinner was spectacular - because a roast beef diner just is, not because I cooked it

Now a Summer Breeze. Wife decided she wanted an Amaretto sour - good choice.

Just trying this pale ale by Larkin's brewery Ireland. This is really nice. Cascade and lemon drop hops.

Drinking equinox IPA from @Hazelwood Brewery . 6.3% with Equanot & Vic secret. Thin head that disappeared quickly, low carbonation. Citrus hop aroma. Taste was bitter from start to finish and nice and dry which was good for me. Hop flavour citrus, lots of grapefruit and pine..nice beer..I like it alot

Sounds nice but never heard of them.

Sounds nice but never heard of them.

I got them in chill. Plus a few others. 8 degrees north full Irish IPA is also very good

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

It’s time.

I’ve eaten, I’ve hydrated (with some other beers!) and I’m ready...

Excuse the Chimay chalice glass but the contents are quite possibly my most favourite beer
