[NormanHurst]

One of those supermarket ales that somedays taste meh but on a sunny day like today is just right.

Nice. Have you a recipe for it?

Hi SMP pretty much as per graham wheeler recipe 23l 4.5 Kg pale malt 300g torrified wheat( if I have any) also using 300 g rice hulls to avoid stuck mash
mash @ 65 for 60 mins boil 60 mins
start boil 25g fuggles 15g northdown
protofloc 50 min
flameout 10g east kent Goldings
Yeast wise used SO4 and nottingham, ive not got a very fine pallet so couldnt tell any difference tbf, we did brew using Holdens brewery yeast ( another black country brewery) and that made a massive difference, tasted just like pukka draught from the pub, didnt last very long tho!
og 1045-1048 fg 1010 so abv c4.5
me and my lads find it too damn drinkable!
hope this helps cheers
Ian

Following up a wit from @Caramel Ox with a pint of my own. Its always nice to contrast to versions of the same beer.

we did brew using Holdens brewery yeast

Excellent info thanks, used to drink in the Lamp Tavern and they did a lovely pint of bathems, how did you get some of Holdens yeast?

A very nice Austrian Pinot Noir. Mrs70 is on the gin.

Ahh nostalgia there.. me too. moved to black country c1980 and loved all the beers Bathams , Holdens, Simkiss , Banks's, Ma Pardoes et al
My son was brewing at Holdens about 8 years ago and you used to be be able to rock up with a flask and they would give you some fresh yeast.
I dont know if thats the case now tho.
Happy days indeed.

What did you think of your first weissbier chippy?

 

[LesTom]

This is quite a cracker

 

[Buffers brewery]

Early afternoon lunch with the missus back at The Dubrovnik Brewing company. Pulled pork sandwich for her and crispy chicken for me. A small Goa hazy IPA for her and a large Fortunal pale ale, well two actually, for me

Afternoon drinkies was one of these...

Clean and fresh.
Then after dinner "stumbled" across a cocktail bar and had

..a nice gin and tonic for me and a negroni for SWMBO.

8.0% Mosiac DIPA from Track, very nice.

 

[samale]

Had a few a of own in the garden brewing and kicking the ball about with the young boy. Had a few commercial beers as well

Nice beer I have had before

This got tipped, just not for me. No of flavours but I didn't want to waste time on a beer that was below average
Scraggy bay as well, top quality as usual

Very good, I posted this yesterday.
(no longer have 2 in the fridge)

Good news it was a cracker and i will buy it again (still have two in the fridge)

As i said my taste buds are not what they used to be and i couldn't taste banana so i gave SWMBO and my Son a taste and asked them what they could taste and they both mentioned banana.

A glass of my Pilsner, messed up the pour (and disturbed the sediment in the bottle) still tastes good though.

 

[Rodcx500z]

This goes well with creamy chicken and mushroom pasta, bought in Aldi

 

[obscure]

Aurora and Saaz Saison (with honey)

Cold dry, and refreshing perfect Summer beer (and just brewed a fresh batch of it today).

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

This one is pretty good.

 

[Jim Brewster]

Started off with a Mallinson's Eukanot single hop. Good beer although the hops are fairly reserved.
