What are you drinking tonight 2021?

White Horse Village Idiot (4.1%)

White Horse has long being one of my preferred local breweries so was happy to see this as a guest ale in my local pub. It’s rather crisp and refreshing but had that nice wee bit of bitterness still. It also helps that temperature wise the pub has it spot on, somewhat cool but not to the point where it becomes tasteless.

Can't believe I'm the first in at the bar today. @Hazelwood Brewery must be having a day off

Pint of McEwen's Export next to a pest fire. Seems appropriate.

Took the kids paddling in the sea. Was cold. So very cold ...

I’m here now Car was serviced today so no drinking until I’d collected it.

Summer Breeze. Still not quite ready but I’ve missed it!

One of this!

Black Sheep Best Bitter (3.8%)

I vaguely recall that at 3.8% this would probably classify as a ordinary bitter it is however very pleasant. It is fairly smooth with a slight biscuit like flavour to it.

Wait for me guys second try of the latest keg it’ not bad you know

Think end is near for the Motueka Cream ale. Still tasting fresh and starting to crisp up nicely. Think I will brew something like this again in the spring with a different hop and a few extra IBUs

First pour of the Mosaic APA, write up here. Mosaic Pale Ale
Really like this one, nice blueberry flavour from the hops.

I’m going to try and leave the Summer Breeze for now and I’m having a stout.

I’ve finally mastered how to brew it quicker than I drink it, Thats the 12th batch to get hooked up since I bought the kegerator 10 months ago. Number 13 is in the fermentation fridge as we speak (Irish Red Ale) and number 14 is getting brewed next weekend (my attempt at recreating a brilliant dry hopped citra wheat beer sent to me by @Jim Brewster).

Of course, the other option would be to drink a bit less, but….

(bl)Oktoberfest. I messed up the water on this one, too much SO4 and the malts aren’t shining through. But that being said, I’m still loving it. The next one will be even better.

Is that the MJ set up?

 

[moto748]

Scratching my head there until I realised you meant, as you wrote, SO4, not S-04!

 

[dave_77]

My W C IPA for the second half of the footie..

Kegland Series X, which I fully expect comes straight off the same Chinese production line, just with a different logo slapped on the front.

apologies, I cant do superscript on the iPad! Coincidentally, I went with S-04 with the current Irish Red that’s fermenting as we speak. I couldn’t get my hands on WLP004 in time for brew day and there‘s two empty kegs waiting for a refill. Lesser of two evils

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

English Pale next, hopped with First Gold. After good first impressions I’m a little on the fence with this one at the moment - though it is still very young.

3rd tap, Munich Helles. Another brew with a minor issue. The fermentation ran a bit on the warm side in the early stages and I’m picking up too many esters. On the upside it’s the clearest lager I’ve brewed and it’s very moreish. The next one will be better
