What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[dave_77]

Change of pace..I was given a Glenfiddich box ..this one is rather tasty

 

[phildo79]

This!

The word 'garbage' springs to mind. The label says it's strong and well hopped. I'd replace that with fizzy and bland. Aroma is of literally nothing. Mouth feel is thin, fizzy and slightly sour. It's an IPA but, in Ireland, that means it cannot be over 6% for fear that people won't buy it. So as a consequence, you end up with a weak beer, for the style.

This beer was given to me as a gift. I would never have bought this beer. Primarily because I have never heard of the brewery. Yet again, this reeks of a young brewery that is just jumping on the bandwagon and not really knowing wtf they are doing.

I was given another one of this breweries beers. A red ale. I won't be opening it tonight but I imagine it to be seriously ****. I will never drink another beer from this brewery as long as I live.

If things ever settle down and you find yourself on the west side of Michigan--it's quite nice by the lake, by the way, try a four-pack of this beer. Bourbon barrel-aged stout called Dragon's Milk

I mentioned last time that it's at Costco's and cheaper than in the regular stores. This is from the newest pallet they brought in. I have to say, I was really pleased that New Holland Brewing made a deal with them to sell their product. There's fourteen stores in Michigan? That's a lot of beer being sold! The purchaser for Costco gets two thumbs up.

I've found it in the UK for £9.20 per bottle I'm not due to do a beer order just yet but when I am I may treat myself to 1

Buxton X Omnipollo lemon meringue ice cream pale 6%
Trolltunga gooseberry sour 6.3%
Saison! Abv no idea!
Imperial Black stout 7.5%

The lemon meringue was the star of the show.

Try Red Willow tap room too, it's the old bank, great interior and good beer and meat and cheese board I need to go back

Is New Holland a place, or is that brewery name a riff on New Belgium?

Yeah I'm sure it was just an off day. The beer was good so I'm happy.

I had that beer, I find that with a lot of new brewery's. They play it safe, the range will include red ale, stout and a pale ale. It must have to do with profit and price range.

On the cider already today first time iv made a cider and it's ok but nothing special really drinkable tho,my yeast arrived yesterday so it's time to get a brew on

 

[Pennine]

sampling the hoppy pils i fermented a bit warm. very slight fusels hopefully with lagering they will dissapear. pretty good otherwise could use a dry hop.

 

[Pennine]

testing out my second soured keptinis batch. surprisingly good for a failed brew day.

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

Off to shop seen as my Ozzy pale ale is flat as a fart

It's Holland, Michigan and I'm sure you're right about the riff.

I'm impressed that a micro brewery here got their product all the way there. I don't know what our dollar/pound are these days but Dragon's Milk isn't that good to pay 9 pounds. It's really good but not that good.

Failed how?

 

[DavidDetroit]

it cannot be over 6% for fear that people won't

Too bad about the tasted.
Why the 6% number? Do people where you're from prefer lower ABV's?

 

[Pennine]

Failed how?

well my braumeister sprayed half the wort all over the kitchen on the brew day. i tried taking a portion of the malt and baking it like the other batch and then i left the rest of the malt in the braumeister to keep mashing. it must have created a serious pressurized channel in the malt sleeve, it was going off like a sprinkler and sprayed out at least half the wort. only ended up with about 6l of wort after that so I soured it. Its pretty good, a bit over carbonated like a duvel but you can swirl it out to get it to your preference. very unique.

I grew up in Buxton, lots of fond memories.

Just brewed another Galaxy / Citra ale, I think I need bigger batches. Rewarding myself with a pint of my new cardamom Saison!

Not really mellowed yet and still a little hazy but it’s certainly drinkable. Probably just have the one this weekend - of these that is!
