Beer?

[User169]

Brewed a new one this morning. A 100% brett ale pitched with Brettanomyces claussenii - cos it was originally isolated in Britain by Dr Claussen and likely infected almost all British breweries until well into the 20thC. Online consensus says it kicks off big pineapple flavour, so I've chucked in a load of mosaic and will dry hop it with more. Hopefully I'll also get some horse blanket and sweat, but its seemingly not as funky as other Brett strains.

Relaxing now with a Brett saison. This is just great - single hopped with Nelson Sauvin and pitched with a combo of saison yeast and Brett. I find NS a bit one dimensional sometimes, but the Bret here makes it super juicy. It tastes mainly of passion fruit, but the Brett is starting to make its presence felt - a bit like a young Orval. Mrs DP says its farmyardy which is all good too.

I confess it's been in the coolerator but then it's quite warm today.

No wonder the mouse is cross

I might have mentioned before that the beer shop is convenient for the church. I think I deserve a Red Squirrel Milk Stout (sweet, light at 4% and very refreshing on a warm afternoon) after an hour of wrestling with Guilmant.

They've got Snowball on. Can I resist it?

Imagine Turkish Delight and Salt and Vinegar crisps at the same time and you'll have a reasonable approximation of Ticketybrew Rose Wheat Beer :

Time for some advice from the collective wisdom of the thread. I have an inch of beer left. I need to write two little bits for a Board meeting and to drive to Guildford later.

Do I have half a Snowball, a seaside snog, or do I go home?

Have six pints and you'll have forgotten all about Guildford

A teensy bit stronger.

I did a bit of a monster hilly ride this morning so I've been to Tesco and treated myself to a 660ml Punk and cans of Vocation Brewery's Heart & Soul, Pride & Joy, Life & Death.

I will be conducting a horizontal tasting (that's the beers, not me that's horizontal) of Vocation and will report back. 4 cans for £6, excellent stuff

I looked at my bike earlier therefore I'm going to have another beer.

Have six pints and next time you look there'll be two

Mad Goose, a sharper hop taste than I remember, good stuff though, see beers passim.

Yum.

Sue the Brew from Waen is the woman behind Gravity Station Swansea, a beer oasis in Swansea's lager and blue cocktail drinking quarter. Sadly it seems to have run into difficulties of some kind, and is closed for the time being. I've had snowball - I reckon Mossy is right about Guildford.

I'm not sure whether it sounds either disgusting or sensational.
