Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

The most middle-class thing on our coffee table is the largest catalogue from The Wine Society. She is. I'm not but my tastes are. Sometimes.

Nothing says middle-class more than the coffee table itself!

Four new (to me) localish fruitless beers from the coop.

In the 'spoon's the other night I spied this in the fridge and asked to have a look at it.

The barmaid had a look at the label and replied, 'it's a pale ale, and it's from India,' I somehow kept a straight face.

It tastes a bit like Brewdog Mr President without as heavy an alcoholic kick, very nice, although Mrs Stephec reckoned it tasted like medicine and I had to finish hers off for her.

Mad Squirrel Gold Digger. It's a 3.5% Grisette, somewhere in the Weissbier Saisonish sort of area. Very refreshing after a walk.

I tried a few of their beers recently - not bad at all, and I think you have the best one there.
ETA I realise the sparkling wine thread is thataway, but Chapel Down is absolutely fantastic stuff.

Tonight, I am making beer. I'm currently mashing pale malt for a Landlord clone, though I couldn't get the yeast I wanted so we'll have to see how it turns out.

West Yorks supposedly. 100% golden promise IIRC, but can't remember what it's hopped with.

I'm using EKG and Styrian Goldings, as per Graham Wheeler's recipe. I was after the yeast you refer to but my local brew shop has stopped selling liquid yeasts due to supplier price hikes. S04 will have to do.

Dogfish Head, 90 min IPA. Does what it says on the tin. Boiled and hopped for 90 min. Old skool, US hop bomb. Sweet from the malt with loads of piney/resin hop flavour.

Cranking up the volume. This one gets it's own cardboard box. 14% BA imp stout. Not bad - a bit fresh maybe.

Very, very meh.

Punk IPA at a Steve Hackett gig..don't ask...

I ventured into the local craft beer emporium this afternoon, accompanied by Mrs M who proceeded to have a lengthy chat with the proprietor about trying to find some beer she would like (she had been hoping he had some Hitachino Nest white beer as she had enjoyed that) and ended up with Campervan Brewery Wheat Revenge - brewed with pineapple

I went for something a bit less "contemporary"
