I could happily drink Saison Dupont on draught eight days a week

Delicious stuff. Orchard blend of half a dozen or so varieties from near Chew. Went fantastically with some proper pork sausages. Somerset at its best.

MIxed fermentation beer aged in Cognac barrels for 3 years then refermented with English Pinot Noir grapes. Very impressive.

I bought a L&G case just before Christmas and didn't get through much in December. I then did dry Jan. Meanwhile it appears the wife drank all the IPL. Luckily she doesn't like darker beers so I've still got a handful of Spectres and the Black Lager .

One of my very favourite beers

Same brewery as Dave's IPL from the other night

First pint of 2024. Had a couple of Bass later on too.

21 Litres Dortmuder Export Total: 238 Litres

I've not bothered with many non alc beers this month. I'd rather wait for the real thing but fancied someething beer-ish after a successful brew day.

Ah! Next weekend is end of dry January so first pint of the year. It won't be this brew though: ) This one will be ready in 6-8 weeks depending on my patience!

Hello everyone. My first post in 2 months - and my first brew too. All things Christmas and then dry January has kept me away. Brewing a simple (ish) German Lager today. Loosely based on some Dortmunder Export recipes - not that I've knowingly ever drunk such a beer. 95% Pilsner 5% Munich...

First brew since early September for me. And only the second since June. Life getting in the way. Hefeweizen - but a touch of dark Wheat. Aiming for a Schneider Weisse ish colour if not the exact taste profile. Using WHC Banana Split to try it out - and tried a stepped mash to get some clove...

Booths do a cracking job on most drinks - most things actually. I applauded the recent decision to ditch self checkouts too.

Another Lidl purchase. Really like this. Lots of citra character but bitter too. Beer not juice. Really well made. I wish the beer had been this good in Dundee when my in laws lived there.

First of a Lidl 4 pack. Decent but not absolutely top notch.

How is it? You've reminded me (a) I need to buy some and (b) I've not drunk any of last year's yet!

A night out at the rugby with a few beers either side. These were the picks. The Lost and Grounded was excellent - I love their lagers but this was spot on cask bitter.

A brewery local to me knowingly takes the p*** out of this sort of thing. They called one standard strength pale ale an "Imperial Table Beer".

Harbour Cold IPA walking down to the rugby. Decent. Crisp and bitter. Refreshingly fruit salad free.
