What are you drinking 2024.

[Tanglefoot]

Getting towards the end of this keg, a Belgian single cold fermented with Novalager.
Pilsener, Vienna and Munich malts with Northern brewer to bitter and Saaz late boil and hopstand.
OG was down so added some sugar which I told myself was in the spirit
of the style !


Now got my feet up before another busy week with the real deal

Sunday cocktails, I’m having a Gimlet and it’s an Old Fashioned for Mrs70.

 

[SMP Brewery]

An Imperial Stout, after baking a loaf, it was a bit of a gusher, but after a year it seems to be hitting it’s stride now.

 

[YeastFace]

Stout.

Co2 ran out today and whoops when I went to replace it I seem to have acquired a 70/30 cylinder too. Hopefully next time I put a pic of this up, it will be the nitro version.

I found a bonus bottle from one of last years swaps at the back of the fridge, so apologies to the sender, ‘Hazy John’. I’m pleased to say it’s held up well; the aroma is pine and citrus, I suspect the subtle tropical notes were stronger when bottled (my bad, sorry). Great flavour, bready malts and citrus hops, love the medium to high bitterness. Mouthfeel and finish is more IPA than NEIPA. Lovely beer, thank you so much for sending it.

Thursday: these on the train from gowerton to Shrewsbury before it turned into a replacement bus... Brilliant beerriff as usual.

Then these two in chez Sophie

Followed by a neon raptor singles in your area in the house of grain...

Up the hill at wylam cop and back down to....

tap and can the two beer shot is wylam impy 10% and on the right is VC giant raspberry blueberry bubblegum bottles.

Finally finished on cloud water dipa v12. Which I should have had first out of the three... As it was a bit watery in comparison to the previous 2 thickies.

Yep, I found the right swap thread. Big thanks to @Nottsbeer, it was a very enjoyable brew.

I’m off for the next couple of days so I’ve decided to start drinking Heverlee

 

[Rodcx500z]

That was down to me. Switched it on as the corner was about to be taken and and said yes Penalty shoot out, and 2 secs later they scored

Two different casks, same beer (OK polypins).
Both my Hoppy Pale ale of Kent.
Totally clear, but it's cold out there and the kitchen was steamy.
The one on the left is an unbroached 6L, on the right a mostly drained 12L.
There is a difference, the previously served one is a little more flavour forward. Or is it just the glass shape again?
Aarrgghh!

Quickly followed by an early QC sample of the recently casked Camden pale ale #2.
Citrus and tropical nose, straight into malty and rich hops. Bitter finish.
This could be a good one.

Pint of Arkells Kingsdown in Spoons while the little one goes dancing. Fruity as advertised, quite decent. Now to get my hiking boots on and find the bog.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Also had me thinking that id thought Arkells as a decent brewery and looking at their website I remember that 'Voyager' was a great pint. Not had ot in years.

 

[foxy]

A taste of my Nancy Naylor Landlady about 10 days in the bottle. My last brew of this was in the realm of an IPA strengh beer while this one is just a pale ale so easy drinking.

 

[Caramel Ox]

I am drinking my Voss farmhouse ale at 5 months in the bottle- no pic sorry. It’s a strange experience, it has had a significant secondary in the bottle and is now very carbonated and quite alcoholic. Taste has come close to Leffe which it was never like before.

Sure I got a book with some Arkells recipes in??
