We’ve had to come out the sun cos it’s boiling. We have half a moretti and a pint of Timmy T. I actually don’t mind the husband’s pint. He’s in shock 
What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Next a pint of my Dark Mild. I think this is quite good so another one or two brews to fine tune the recipe and I think I have a contender 
Half a Guinness and a black sheep. Still in the red lion for the moment.

A good walk out through Laurie Lee country this morning followed by a couple of lunchtime pints. Bristol Beer Factory's Notorious. 3.8% and very well kept at The Butchers Arms in Sheepscombe.
Excellent pub sign too...

Yesterday I collected my winnings from a wine auction in Lichfield. Along with the lot came 23 bottles of Burton centenary ale, a limited edition (4800) numbered brew by Bass Charrington.
As the brew was bottled in 1978 I didn't hold out much hope for the contents, so it didn't figure in my bid calculation.
But after getting my stash home, curiosity prevailed. There was no indication of strength on the label, nor best before date...
Whipping the cap off a bottle I was surprised to find it still had some gas pressure left. Pouring it revealed a clear beer with a decent head.
Drinkable? Yes. Slightly sweet and malty, it didn't seem pickled by excessive alcohol.
Far better than I expected.

A small glass of raspberry sour to see how it’s developing. The carbonation is fine, more than fine actually - I had to spoon the excess head off twice before I could fill the glass. D’oh!
You can see it’s crystal clear. It actually tastes much the same as it did a month ago, clean, tart rather than sour, and unsurprisingly it tastes of raspberry. Good on a hot day like today.

I don’t think “best before dates” had been invented in 1978.

Can you post a photo?
My award winning Czech Pilsner (well, joint third place in the forum comp ). It’s pretty clear now with just a slight chill haze, not as much as the photo suggests because some of that is condensation.

Absolutely! The pain was eased a little by the developing craft beer scene. Keo is okay but I’d struggle if that was all there was on offer. I hope you didn’t miss me too much at homebrew club!Happy to be home with some proper beer?
