Beer?

ideal for a Friday night

It's become a Friday night tradition for me. 🍻

We had a virtual Christmas party this afternoon at work-from-home so I pulled out the more festive offerings.

Tastes like you might imagine - Porter with a chocolate orange overlay. Not unpleasant but not a keeper.

Again, does what is says on the tin bottle. A bit better, in the style of similar Belgian offerings, albeit a bit lighter.

Followed by this one, a Croatian IPA in the modern style, 6.0%, quite tangy in the hops department.

I’m not keen on all these flavoured beers, a quite like beer flavoured beer.

Clean, cold refreshment required, so why not a Tusker?!

I have a habit of having a sour or a gose before settling into the beer flavoured beers. It works well as a beer apéritif. My fondness for those really indulgent "dessert" stouts must come from a lack of puddings...

I've discovered this recently, very easy drinking, but not easy to find, however our local M&S BP garage sells it. Problem is that my wife and daughter also like it

I've got a case of London Beer Factory goodies in. The case with the barrel aged beers can wait till closer to Christmas. For now, a very pleasant NEIPA. Very hoppy with little bitterness

Owned by Heineken, so you can often find it next to the water from Majorca.

You can get really decent brews from anywhere these days. Really liking Ārpus from Latvia right now

Oops, when I said the second case could wait till later, I meant longer than half an hour....

It's a sort of wild ale refermented with raspberries.

Tesco near me always have that in stock.

#6 tonight. Quite like this one. 6.8% and the sort of ‘tropical’ hints you get from these US- style hops, rather than being specifically fruited.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

London Beer Factory again. A wild ale refermented on blackberries and blackcurrants. Sour and fruity with something of the taste of red wine about it.
