What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Sadfield]

So good to see this back in 500ml bottles and bottle conditioned again.
Such a revelation back in the days of very few free houses and the choice was Robinson's, Tetleys, Marston's or Boddies pubs.

Couple of Vault City peach and raspberry sours.

A porter to finish, couldn't wait so started before pulling the phone out for a photo

Last one to put me to sleep. Chilli and chocolate stout 11.5%. Sure why not only 2 drinking days left before going back to work.

My 2nd Kent golden ale brew.
Rich body and hops.
Her's is the Lindeman's, before we had her stunningly flavoursome turkey and potato 'sludge' soup. Great use for the Christmas turkey carcass.

Used to love a bin 65. Then I found yellowtail Chardonnay

First time in ages for us.
I'll look into Yellowtail, thanks.

They are easy drinking wines. The jammy rose roo and jammy red roo are lovely to drink straight from opening

I like how it says uses real American hops, what instead of fake or imaginary ones!

Again sharing the Wadworths with my wife. It’s meant to be a winter warmer but really just a bit darker and stronger 6X.

Having a brother in law visit from Belgium has it's perks

Just carbonation tested my Czech pilsner after a week in the keg and I’m surprised how clear it is already (that’s mostly condensation on the glass). Can I leave it to lager properly, that’s the question.

Happy new year everybody.
Guests arriving in half an hour, so I’m ’clearing the lines’ while I fry the Arancini.

 

[Caramel Ox]

Pineapple hazy. I think pineapple is a bit marmite, not really a favourite for me. It’s interesting that they have lactose and oats in the grain bill, it’s meant to replicate the mouthfeel of the juice but doesn’t have any actual juice in. As with the peach version it is a success for what it is.

Oh how you take me back to our student days. Mid '70s
6X then was a superb ale to my young palate, and Old Timer was a completely different, proper dark rich winter warmer.
The rarest to come across, and then only in tied houses in the country wilds was their IPA, a slightly weaker and cheaper version of 6X.

My 1978 CAMRA guide.
The ticks represent beers drunk, obs. The Wards best bitter below was and is probably my favourite beer, ever.
Summer lunchtime youth hostelling on market day in the Peak district.
With my girlfriend, who now is SWMBO'D.
And a lovely thing she is too!

Happy New Year All , have a fantastic 2024

 

[531Man]

My Camden pale ale clone.
A lovely hoppy light beer to start the New Year's eve.
SWMBO'D is on the G&T using lime juice as well as tonic.

 

[Leon103]

A hazy pale to start

Coming from Sheffield I got done for underage drinking with a pint of it in my hand when 16. Probably telling the coppers that they should be looking for the Yorkshire Ripper instead of nicking the likes of us. (4 of us) didn’t help.
