August 2020 - British Pale Ales, Bitters and Milds

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I'm going to have to sit this month out unfortunately, my last bitter was ****.

I could send one in with your name on it - see if he notices.

You were lucky to get a booking I think. Does this mean I need to send the beers to a different address?

No need, future sister in law lives next door so she will grab any parcels left on the doorstep or behind the gate I’ll make sure she checks regularly

I’m brewing tomorrow to try and squeeze in one more brew day before we go away! Gonna be close!

It is but you should have beer waiting when you get home.

...as well as lots of beer waiting when you get home

Plenty of bubble wrap, cardboard, then more bubble wrap. The postie will drop kick the thing at some point.

One bottle should be a small parcel at £3.10. Two bottles will likely be a medium parcel at £5.10 ish.

I would write ‘FRAGILE’ on the parcel and if you’re asked what is inside then just say a glass ornament or something. Pretty sure you’re not meant to send beer or wine

It's fine to send alcoholic beverages through the post as long as they are under (I think) 20% ABV

I've got an English pale ale in the fermenter now. If I bottle this weekend it may be ok for this month.....

Judging mid September so she’ll be spot on

this is correct but some post workers make it difficult "we can't confirm alcohol on Homebrew" so I always say glassware now. simplifies the process a bit.

First entry arrived already

I'll try and get mine out tomorrow.

I have an ESB ready and a Southern Ale that will be ready from next week.

Not looking to win, just get some feedback on what the hell I’m doing.

I’ll give feedback on all entries, looking forward to trying them

Go on... you know you want to send me a bottle anyway

OK, I've tried a couple of bottles and I like it, so if you pm me your address I will get a bottle in the post to you.

Are you still accepting entries @Hopsteep ? Even though it's not too hugely exciting beer I'm happy enough with it to enter

Absolutely loads of time yet to get a beer or two posted. I’ll pm you my address

PM me your address please. I kegged an ESB last month and it turned out pretty decent, not overly exciting, more just a pleasant drink. Ill bottle a few this weekend and get in the post next week, would be good to have another opinion on it.

Two bitters in the post
