Well, that's the end of the Simcoe/amarillo pale ...

.. there's another 5 gallons fermenting as we speak

I'm drinking Spencer Trappist, which is an American Trappist beer. I wonder whether it has actually been brewed by monks. Do they even have monks in America?

I believe there are 6 Trappist monasteries, none of them are in the US.

They have a place at Rathmullan as well. You need deep pockets to visit

Will have to check that out next time I’m heading over to Downings

That is a beautiful colour!

Looks a bit darker than it actually is. My camera phone is rubbish, always produces a darker colour. I am sure the kids have messed with the settings

Popped into Gloucester this evening to check out Gloucester Brewing. Starting with their NEIPA which is a definite hit.

Spencer is a genuine Trappist beer. Who'd have thunk.

Last time I had this it tasted like fresh mango. Now it almost tastes off. It might be because I have a chest infection, but it doesn’t taste right to me. Very dull flavours and no mango at all.

This one will have the full range on tap rathmullan only has the core beers and itA expensive enough but crossroads on tap is worth it.

Smashed on 6 pints

The sun went and the temp dropped dramatically in minutes. I could see my breath so inside the shed bar for a few more. With the heater on

 

[Little Rock Brewing]

Pint of Aurora next. Now this is more like it. Hand pump lovelyness!

 

[Stu's Brews]

Next up; APA. A nice beer but not quite hitting the spot like the NEIPA did.

Great colour though.

A quick half of this too, for evaluation purposes. I'll certainly try to make one, but at 6%+

So it seems I’m out of date and new Trappist breweries have been popping up! Spencer seemingly became a recognised Trappist brewery in 2013.

Thanks for the education

They're very protective of allowing use of the Trademark so don't dish it out willy-nilly.

It's brewed by Cistercian monks, for the benefit of the Monastery and charity so meets the criteria.

Tynt Meadow by Mount St. Bernard is the English Trappist beer and it's decent too.

Seen a documentary about that brewery was very interesting and the beer looked great.

A night in Crawley on our way on holiday. A nice pint of Leffe and a Punk IPA to start. If I have a few more Leffe I might be tempted to pinch the glass!

You’ll have to check out Brixton brewary pale ale at the airport tomorrow pre flight. There is craft beer bar tucked away there.

And still we roll! Another on the hand pump and pretty good. I wish they would list the hops though. I get Citra and maybe Amarillo.
