Hb neipa.

As the Four Yorkshire Men would say, "It's passable"

 

[leedspointbrew]

Fixed my Vienna Superautomatica. First coffee, to test; then, time for a HB near-Dark Mild.

 

[RCope]

HB NEIPA while after brewing Denny Cohn's "Wry Smile" rye IPA. My fourth iteration...I have brewed no other beer that many times ;-)

 

[Rish]

Very tasty Brother T Belgian style abbey ale.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Small tastes with fellow brewers.

Almost 4.5 yo HM mead (tasty) in glassware from Queen's Reward Meadery in Tupelo, MS

Continuing onward - English/Scottish/Irish beers, mostly ales! You know if you drink enough of these in a row, you kinda get the drift where these brewers are coming from. They certainly paint a representative “lay of the land” when it comes to British Isles brewing, many similarities between multiple brewers.

Smithwicks is right there too with their tasty Red Ale. Smithwicks is brewed by Guinness in Ireland, and has an over 300 year history there. A 4.5% Irish Red Ale, I guess the logical question would be how does this compare to the Sullivans I had a few brews back.

Well, tastes being a subjective thing, I think I’d prefer the Sullivans. Not to disparage this nifty Ale one bit, I just thought the Sullivans was best in class and still do. Smithwicks is no sloucher though, great flavor, restrained hopping, nice head, great lacing, this is a great Irish Red, and check out the clarity!

Cancer won today so **** cancer - Dad kicked the bucket early this a.m. after fighting stomach cancer for a couple of years!

We hadn't talked in a long time, but he did contribute DNA so I'll have a beer in his behalf.

Cheers!!

Sorry for your loss. I lost my first wife to cancer in 2013.

Photographing these beers can be a challenge unto itself – I swear, I poured this beer as hard as I could to raise some kind of a head for the camera – and darned near nothing! Drinking this, carbonation level is fine. It just won’t raise much of a head, that wort must undergo must be one heck of a protein rest, huh? Sorry folks!

Fuller’s London Pride is an old-school favorite with a few surprising side notes - Looks like Fuller’s is now a product of Asahi UK and is brewed by Griffin Brewery located in Chiswick, London, England. Nothing stays the same does it? Asahi? And imported into the US by Paulaner USA. Wow.

Fuller’s London Pride is a tasty amber ale brewed at 4.7% ABV. Not watery, but this beer seems to lack the body of some of the other English and Irish brews I’m comparing them to, and of course the lack of head and zero lacing. All things that I love, but are a bit minimized here. Clarity would look great in a big 1L paneled stein! Cheers!

Fuller’s also changed all their bottles. They used to have nice fancy bottles. I have about 3 cases of their old fancy bottles. I use them mainly for bottlng barelywine.

I’ve been a little bit of a stranger. I recently moved, including all my brewing gear and beers in the cellar. I realized I had a bunch of really old beer so I’m on a mission to actually consume it.

Stone Vertical Epic 06.06.06

Bottle actually has a good “pffft” when I popped the top.

Pours a dark chocolate brown, like a porter. Aroma is malty cocoa with some dark sugar caramel notes.

For being almost 20 years old, it is surprisingly good. No hops or much bitterness, but caramelly, toasty, chocolatey malt.

As I get my new place in order I’ll reward myself with something from the deep cellar and I’ll share it with all of you on a regular basis.

They’re from a local brewery that I picked up about 6-7 years ago. I can check to see if they still sell them if you’d like. The other side says “Powderhaus”

Very thoughtful. I wouldn't decline if you checked in. Their site has some tasty sounding menu items!

I can certainly pay them a visit to check out their beer and wares.

It’s incredibly good! Great balance and the bourbon barrel flavor definitely comes through. I called them after I cracked the first one open to see if they have it on tap. They said they have their 2022 and 2024 on tap. I’ll have to pay them a visit pretty soon!

Hb Irish stout

 

[Beermeister32]

Arthur Guinness, Jr. was my kind of guy. After inheriting the brewery from his father, Arthur, Sr. he confronted a big problem in a way to make Irishmen proud. The taxman cometh, and to get around paying the Crown based on the barley malt used at his brewery, he started brewing with a large amount of un-malted roasted barley to get around the law! Clever! Hello Stout!

Guinness Extra Stout is about as classic a beer as you’re going to find. A great addition to my three-week adventure into the brewing traditions and products of the British Isles. The sad thing is this wimpy little 22 ounce bottle can’t even fill my big boy glass today. What a shame! It’s that good!

Established in 1759 and brewed at St. James Gate, Dublin, Ireland, Guinness Extra Stout is a 5.6% ABV brew. All you fruity East Coast / Hazy IPA drinkers put down the baby juice and strap one of these on – really takes you back to beer’s roots!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Tackling the .... instead of the Rye IPA today. Any guesses?

Such a great beer!
