Beer?

[martint235]

I have 2 bottles of Green Gecko, 1 Shepherd's Neame IPA and 10 bottles of Rauchbier for this evening. I'm having the kind of day that means I'm wondering if I may need to buy more.

Crikey. I'm beginning to feel like a bit of a lightweight. I love Rauchbier but 10 of them sounds like the basis of some sort of aversion therapy.

Woodforde's Admiral's Reserve. I'm using Nottingham yeast and am dry hopping it with Goldings. Smells lovely, but we'll know more in a couple of months.

An update: it's bottled, but needs another couple of weeks' conditioning. Nevertheless I couldn't resist a sneaky sample and it's rather good: full-bodied, fruity and a nice hoppy aroma. It could perhaps do with a touch more bitterness, and is lacking complexity, but I'm hoping that will develop in time. I measured ABV at 5.1% but it doesn't taste that strong - more like a session ale.

And a long article on Brewdog

I never knew we had Gordon Brown, texture like sun, to thank for craft brewing or that one of the Jaipur faves on here was created by Watt

Skim read it and I think the headline sums it up well. Whatever you think about the beer, I think you'd have to admit that the way they've grown their company is pretty impressive.

Oatmeal Stout from Nogne. First one of theirs I've not liked. Weird aftertaste.

Purity Mad Goose. 3 malt 3 hop recipe, wonderful copper coloured beer, great taste and longish finish. Yumtus.

This week's Booths expedition has come a day early due to the bank holiday.

I've upheld my vow of not repeating myself, apart from the pilsner which is for Mrs Stephec.

Wash the taste away with one of the St Bernies.

Is that a selection of Thornbridge bottles on the top shelf of the fridge?

St Bernies. The Thornbridge is higher up, out of shot.

Have you seen the Inner Ring doing a beer review

Anyone bought it? I think the abv is rather clever

I, like several thousand others, drank copious amounts of it at Oude Kwaremont last year; it was probably the best beer I have experienced at a sporting event - faint praise,I know...

A rather splendid glass nonetheless
