Looks pink. You need to sort the colour balance on your camera.

Mrs W kindly bought be a bottle of Badger's thrice hopped "Hopping hare" for Friday night. I was too shattered from my short night and long journey to drink it - instead I'm drinking it as a nightcap.
I was sceptical - I expect anything declaring itself "thrice hopped" to be rather over-the-top. But you know, it's not actually at all bad. The hops (Goldings and Cascade says the label) perk up the flavour and balance, rather than dominate, the malt. Those Johnny-come-latelys aping the Yanks could learn a thing or two from this unassuming veteran, I think.

Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2016 tickets have just gone on sale - 200 UK squids for a ticket to both days!
The first brewery has just been announced - Hill Farmstead - which is nice.

If Carlsberd did stout...
..oh hang on, they do...
Of course by local standards it is, at "only" 4.2%, a mild!
They also do one called "Carnegie Stout" brewed by Carlsberg Sweden. Pretty good actually.

Meanwhile in other news:
The driest beer I've ever drunk here, or anywhere...
It must be the rosehips and the rosemary that do it. Not an unpleasant drink mind.

Nah - they're just natural crisps...aka spuds. People will do anything to get a good snap these days. Diabololical.
My lawyer, Perry My Son, made me put the pears in.
He actually said I had a nice pear, which was good of him.

Today, Herself came home with several bottles of my usual Erdinger Weissbier, and one bottle of Erdinger Dunkel, which I've never tried before, even in Bavaria where it's brewed. I wasn't keen on the Dunkel Fester, which was allegedly styled after a typical German dark beer, but I have higher hopes for the Erdinger version. It's chilling in my beer fridge as we speak (nothing like a dedicated fridge if you're a serious toper), and I'll be having it with Eggheads tomorrow, if the good Lord spares me. I shall deliver my verdict on it tomorrow evening. Just about to start on the brandy. I may post a brandy thread.
