First, I don't think thats a cat...its a bobcat. second, the bobcat is starring down @Dgallo saying "stay away from my beer bro or I'll rip your face off!" lol

EDIT: or he/she is pissed because "its not enough nelson dude!"
I’m always surprised on how much Nelson comes through even when only 2 oz were used in dryhop

Apple + Pear cider from September last year. It has been in the keg since February and is tasting really nice. I stabilized it and added a little FAJC to backsweeten.

Pale ale with honey added. Trident, Sultana and Azacca hops with Pale malt, C60 and some honey malt.

Off to Spain for two weeks. Fancied cracking one of my few remaining HB British Strong Ales from my dad's birthday batch brewed about 7 weeks ago. These have been bottle conditioned for about a month now. Three left.

I'm disappointed in the lack of clarity for the bottled ones, but I don't even think I Protafloced it let alone doing anything like gelatine fining. Weirdly the keg dropped clear very quickly. Maybe it's because the bottles have been stored on their side and the keg was upright in my cold cellar? Anyway, it's bloody ace. Definitely going to do a full size batch of it. It's got a real complex interplay between malt and yeast that kind of reminds me of a Belgian Dubbel, but distinctively English. No wonder my dad smashed 5L in a week despite it being 7.2% (and him having a laryngectomy)
 
White Hoppy Oat Ale (WHOA!) with Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin hops. The flaked oats and Golden Naked Oats give it a rather full impression and mouthfeel in spite of it clocking in at only 3.4% abv.

Now, this has been in the bottle for only a week (the first one I cracked open) and it came out quite a bit darker than I expected... Fingers crossed this muthahubba won't turn purple!

My Homebrewed smoothie style sour with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, Tahitian Vanilla, and Cheesecake. That’s right, I puréed 2 whole cheesecakes in with the fruit lol The golden hour sun makes the sour look outrageous lol

Looks great man! Great head retention too! :p I imagine the cheesecake is the culprit?

That's not how you make a smoothie, man :p
 
How does the chocolate work. I’ve always thought of adding nibs to a few sours to come off like a chocolate cover berry thing but have just been nervous to try it

It works great. I've done many variations of chocolate with raspberry stouts and sours , mostly for brewfests, and they are always popular.

I've done chocolate a few ways, including nibs in the boil and/or nibs in secondary. In this case though, it was cocoa powder in both the boil and secondary. Also vanilla bean in secondary, because I'm convinced that a hint of vanilla fires the drinker's "this is chocolate" synapse.
 
Hb’d Belgian Strong Ale - ABV 12.6%
On big brewday my HB club brewed an 100% maris otter barleywine. I took 6 gallons of that and fermented it 50/50 with US05 and Imperial Rustic (Belgian). I then aged it on orange zest and bourbon conditioned Oak Spirals. The orange is a little too bright right now but other than that it’s pretty good
