Day spent on the beach so now time for a few beers on the balcony. Found a supermarket selling a few good beers so picked some up and while they are chilling having this 18/70 la rubia
A malty lager style beer and 6.2%. Not bad compared to all the draught nonsense in most bars

Grevensteiner up next. Described as a house beer. Another nice malt forward beer.

Starting with a two year old stout. The theory is that I drink it a bit slower!
We had joy,we had fun,
we had Saisons in the Sun,
but the stars we could reach,
were just starfish on the beach."

A fantastic ipa with I think citra and mosaic 6.9% and dangerously easy to drink.
Or 'Dortmund pilsner beer in the sun' as I would say, as my starter is on this beautiful but still very windy (North Kent) evening.
Brewed and bottled just over a year ago, now.
All the tastier for it, I say.

Now my Wye Valley HPA copy.
My comment brings a question to mind.
Do 'raw ingredient' home brew beers in general take longer to mature, and then last much longer in good condition than commercial beers?
Particularly if bottled (sanitized bottling, that is).
Discuss.
Meanwhile, that first pint didn't last long.
Time for another, methinks.

After roasting all day high up on the scaffold cooling down with a Moteuka & Moutere pale ale.
Planning a traditional California Common with Northern Brewer this weekend, another small 10L batch to take on holiday at the end of the month.

A grand night to enjoy a grand example of Citra hops
Sorry for the repost.
Moving on :
This was brewed before the previous beer (4.6%).
Noticebly a bit stronger and fuller flavoured at 5.3%.
A full Budvar Budweiser ingredient copy.
Originally I tried casking it with no condition.
Wrong!
Subsequently primed in the cask and bottled.
Much better with natural bubbles. It's crystal clear really, the haze is pouring bubbles, honestly.
There's a full cm of yeast trub in this bottle. No sign of autolysis even though brewed on 11th March '22
Tasty!

Starting the night with these -
There's nothing like a Nun's delight on a Friday night, Chippy!
I have a story about Bishop's Finger.
A female friend of mine had recently moved to Gillingham and asked at the bar for a half of S/N Special bitter (aka Spitfire) with a bottle of the Bishop's Finger as a top.
The manager initially refused to serve it to her.
She pointed out that she came from Wandsworth and regularly drank Youngs Special with a Winter Warmer top.
He served her whatever she liked after that.

NZ Pils has finally dropped clear after 45 days in keg
I think I might now have had “a few” Pirate Pales so before I empty the keg I’m switching to other beers. First up is this nice beer from Jack at No Frills.
