What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[samale]

Yes, live in Tandragee in the North

Good stuff I am living in Derry. We must arrange a beer swap at some stage

 

[jayk34]

Probably not coming to my BBQ in Kent then?

Might not make your BBQ next week but you never know. I could bring the local champagne buckfast tonic wine with me

Yes definitely when I get some more brews under my belt. Wouldn't want to ruin your night with some of my recent attempts . Stocks of home brew are at zero at the minute. Have one conditioning and one currently in the fermenter

You’d be very welcome but errr, I might supply the beers?

That would definitely be the better option. Your setup and range of beers look amazing.

Now the burning question for today is, did you put talcum powder on the dancefloor this afternoon ?

Now that would have saved the new bald patch on the top of my head!

Out for dinner in our local fancy restaurant. Just had a couple of these boys, and they're fantastic.

Finished my keg of 3C pale ale ( Chinook, Cascade, Citra ), almost forgot about the other 5 litres I bottled !

Must give them a try.

A Thornbridge NEIPA next. Today the weather is just right and it would have been the perfect day to help @Leon103 judge the American Pales. Feeling soooo chilled right now.

Next time a virtual judging session

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another 3C. Wife just accused me of having a party on my own

You still awake?

Next time a virtual judging session

I'm definitely contacting specsavers on Monday. I read that as a "virtual juggling session" would certainly add a bit of jeopardy to the judging !

I needed this beer

Bottled my lemondrop Saison earlier and added some of the Orval dregs to 30 of the bottles, kept a few of the base beer to keep me going ( it seemed tasty as it was almost did bother with the Brett bottle conditioning).

I mostly drink my own homebrew but I was on holiday last week which gave me a chance to try a few commercial beers for a change, for better or worse! In no particular order.....

Lagunitas IPA (supermarket cans) - OK but not what I recall on draft, it seemed less hoppy and more sweet to me.

Thornbridge Jaipur (supermarket cans) - Quite nice, I think the fragrant hops would go well with Thai or Indian food.

Greene King Ice Breaker Pale Ale - Not bad, quite orangey, but a bit one dimensional.

Sharps Atlantic Pale Ale - Didn't live up to the description on the glass, a bit bland, more like a pseudo lager.

Foster's - A disappointing restaurant with disappointing service and a disappointing beer selection. Now we tend to mock mass produced lagers like this but actually in truth... Oh my God, it's utterly awful! It's not just hyperbole - it really is totally bland and tasteless! Lager can be great when it's done right, but this sure as hell isn't!

London Pride - Can be a bit hit and miss for me but this was done right and jolly good.

Timothy Taylor Landlord - I spend my time trying to make hoppy IPAs and yet there it is, a simple English bitter - heaven in a glass

I agree with your observations. In particular, thoroughly disappointed with Sharps Atlantic. I love Sharps Special/Sea Fury, but Atlantic

Couple of beezers tonight starting with this hoppy and juicy cracker

And then this beauty of a Scottish ale

 

[dave_77]

Last of my Wiper & True box..I have only been disappointed in 1 beer out of 12..it was a Rye Amber almost like a cross between a soft hazy and American Amber...odd. everything else excellent.
This IPA is also super tasty

If you had have bought a 100w speaker it might be worth the trip but for a 70w ??
