Beer?

[theclaud]

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.

Ginie - a "gin inspired gose" - a Danish Estonian collab. Wow. Very salty, but not quite tart enough to balance that out. The juniper does indeed give a gin-esque feel, but in general i wish brewers would stop all this Gose tomfoolery.

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 had a moderately intelligent conversation about Snowball with a woman who might have been Sue in Gravity Station a month or two back (at least it seemed moderately intelligent to me). We agreed that I should have the cask version rather than the keg version.

Sorry it's closed, although it didn't seem to know whether it was a scuzzy dive, a place for civilised conversation or a craft-beer-focussed poncy sort of place.

What's wrong with all three at once???

Don't believe TC when she says she lives in South Wales - that's just a pose.

Tricky to insure I expect.

I'm using Green Gecko as an isotonic recovery drink

Had a Green King beer yesterday called Molecule of Life. It was rank. Sweet and vanillery. Beer should be neither sweet nor vanillery. Avoid.

This was the best Vocation product according to Son #2

This is the premium 6.5% IPA. It claims a."smooth malty backbone" and they're not wrong. The others were good. (particularly the 4.4% session ale) but the extra maltyness takes the edge off the bitterness. Definitely one I could drink a few of...but not too many at that strength

That's lovely stuff, I sat in the garden with a few this afternoon.

Also tastes of something, although I am not sure it is something I like.

I enjoyed that when I had it in Belfast, as mentioned previously in this thread. I'll drink any old shite without complaint...
