First beer of the night De Ranke XX Bitter http://www.deranke.be/en/bier/xx-bitter

"XX-bitter is our most bitter, high-fermenting beer. Despite its low alcohol content, it produces a very rich, long lasting, full flavour.

Straw Blonde

6% vol. alc.

Brewers Gold & Hallertau Mittelfrüh

10 EBC

60 tot 65 IBU

33 cl, 75 cl et 20 l (keg)

Continuously available

Taste: Very bitter but still balanced. Long-lasting, distinct hop taste."

Full marks for giving all the stats. It tastes more like a highly-hopped blanche to me. Certainly very pleasant, although more suited to a summer's evening. And 6% is not my idea of low alcohol, despite living in Belgium for so many years.

The next beer is another Diôle, this time Amber.

XX is one of my favorite Belgians I was lucky enough to have it on cask a few weeks ago at salford beer fest bloody brilliant.

Last night out on the town was a bit average... Guinness X 3, a couple of pints of punk IPA and a couple of (I think) Tokina pale from Joules which was ok.
Tonight out for tea with friends to a pub with some good ales...
Last night joules ale .. Lakota.

Arek,

Do you have printed bottle tops?
Do you do them yourself?

Beers look fantastic by the way.

I sampled a few different ones last night with an old friend. Started on a Triple Hopped IPA, moved on to a wheat beer that I added raspberries to and then finished on a chocolate stout. All kits from Wilkos but were that good he's now starting to home brew. As much as I love the kits I'm moving onto a mini Mash for my next brew with the plan of being all grain by the summer.

It's all in Polish but all you need to do is download excel file and type the details of your beer in the big table on the right side. Print on adhesive paper and cut.
Im using those:

You my friend have just made my Xmas.

Thos · Dec 30, 2018

Arek, I cannot download the spreadsheet, probably because I am not registered. However it should be fairly simple to make my own - what a good idea.

Enjoying a bottle of my chocolate orange porter, in one of the glasses my wife bought me for Christmas. :beer1:
