What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Winterbournebrewery]

With you chaps , I’m starting to pine for the full malty ales , I want to brew an amazing ESB to reset my hop head tendencies. I’m going to revisit my Belgian favs As well. Digging out my old Michael Jackson books to reminisc. (the beer MJ before the comments start !).

With today's short boil underway it's time for @Hazelwood Brewery cider.
Crystal clear, medium dry and more intensely appley than some recent ciders I've had.
Lovely thirst quencher on a sunny brewday
:hat:

In an actual pub. Drinking real ale (Bateman's)

Happy days !

Then you need to try this beer, a really beautiful malty beer.

Me too, if you haven't done so yet then get yourself a Munich dunkel or a dunkels bock brewed. Amazing beers.

Added to the (ever expanding) list

Oh no, clouds moving in!!



Sticking for the moment with lower alcohol beers I’m trying my English pale ale flavoured with EKG. It’s actually really nice and very TT in flavour at this point. Only 4.2% so defo a session ale.

Oh no! I think you need to move to Kent for the better weather and to share a few beers!

Just boxing up your beer. I can't decide which is best between the Vienna IPA with mosiac & Simcoe or the hazy IPA with citra & Vic secret. So I will send both
I have included a small bottle of coconut porter and Munich dunkel.

Honestly, I’d move this one to the top of your list - if you can get it!

All sound beautiful @samale . Maybe I’ll send you some similar beers for comparison? I do have a Mosaic Vienna IPA and a Citra IPA. I don’t have a coconut porter but I do have a plum porter and I’m planning a malt monster.

Out of stock! I've added a reminder on beer hawk for when they have it back in.

Sounds good. I will get a bottle of my Saison over when it's ready

With the 2nd of my two whirlpool additions in (trying something different with my neipa method) I'm having this rather fine sorachi ace saison from @dave_77
Another nice mild saison character and a touch of lemony citrus.
Yum
The 6.6% abv is very well hidden :hat:

I have one mashing at the minute

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

It looks like I might now be down to the last 15 pints of saison Better add another saison to my list.



Time to fire up the BBQ...

Where do you store all the king kegs. How do you chill them.

Some in the shed, some in the garage. I only have to chill them in the really hot weather and then I sit them on ice and wrap them with lagging jackets.

Brewdog Elvis Juice

It’s quite refreshing although the grapefruit is a little overwhelming.

 

[dan125]

To make it a hat trick of guest HBs from different brewers I'm now having this salted caramel chocolate porter from @Fuzzy Growler
It's got a very inviting roasty chocolate aroma and is caramelly sweet in the flavour
Very cleanly fermented for 6.8%
A little bitterness to balance.
Really enjoying this - something I'm very unlikely to brew myself but great to have a pint to try. Thanks for sending :hat:
