The People's Hero Posted 28 December 2013 Share Posted 28 December 2013 My home brew was a bloody disaster in the two barrels, but pretty good in the bottles. Ie some was cask brewed, some was bottle brewed? What were you brewing mate, bitter? A friend of mine has done sloe gin this year and apparently also a sloe port! Might get involved next year.

Webbo Posted 28 December 2013 Share Posted 28 December 2013 I was bought a 4 pack of ale but it had pictures of goblins and pixies etc on the bottle. It's probably very nice beer and I'll definitely drink it but it's that kind of association and the silly names they often get that puts me off real ale.

Vacamion Posted 28 December 2013 Share Posted 28 December 2013 To complement my mother-in-law's meatball curry (which is the crack cocaine of home made curry, by the way) I am drinking a variety of bottled stouts - Williams Brothers "March of the Penguins" and Glencoe "Wild Oat Stout". Mrs Vac will need a gas mask tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 January 2014 Share Posted 1 January 2014 Ie some was cask brewed, some was bottle brewed? What were you brewing mate, bitter? A friend of mine has done sloe gin this year and apparently also a sloe port! Might get involved next year. Used the Tom Caxton kit this year for the first time, and added my usual green hops, and a tiny amount of extra yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Posted 1 January 2014 Share Posted 1 January 2014 Yup, this pack. wbeer.jpg Hobgoblin is one of my favourites! If you like ale's a little stronger then I suggest King Goblin, again by Wychwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 24 January 2014 Share Posted 24 January 2014 I was searching for Top's age, but came across this magnificent December 2011 post from Thracian, which I'd missed at the time. I've copied it here rather than respond to it as it was in the "Pearson to get £10m promotion war chest" thread. If that had suddenly appeared, it could have confused and annoyed a lot of people! I'm having a stint off the booze at the moment, but Thracian's post put a smile on my face as it reminded me why I'm NOT usually off the booze!! Thracian's post: "If we've got millions to spend the first thing we should do is have Barbars piped to our seats. It's about 8% proof and two or three pints of the Belgian honey-beer before each match would show all our players in a glowing (amber) light. Even the street lamps look good after that stuff though they've only been known to win 1-0 - or was that the dustbins? Either way the thing about lamp-posts is that they're reliable - very solid defensively and they never bend no matter how much pressure is put on them.With Barbars to hand - or even both hands - all the Leicester players should look positively frothy by comparison and no-matter what the tactics of the opposition, we'll be at their throats like they're the next waiting pint.That's really what's wrong at the Knot-Pissed-Stadium. We sit there in our cramped seats listening to birthday greetings and mundane announcements about football in the commuity and we're effectively lulled to sleep. By the time the 15 minute interval is over and all the substitutions have eaten into more time any sense of excitement has disappeared.Charged with Barbars the atmosphere would change dramatically. Any empty seats would be filled with blow-up representations of our favourite players which we could wave in the air when they scored. And if they missed we could blow em up again with a drawing pin and send them squivering through the air farting like friars after a feast of baked beans.Perhaps Lee Jobber could be persuaded to fill his big bass drum with Barbars..and empty it over the crowd whenever we got a goal.. Hell, by the time we'd finished, the Thais could pursuade us we'd won a holiday on Venus - and how many football fans have ever had it off with an armless date! Forget spending millions on players. Invest in Barbars and we'd soon see whatever we wanted too. Edited by Thracian, 13 December 2011 - 11:54 PM." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 24 January 2014 Share Posted 24 January 2014 Auld Acquaintance from Caledonian brewery is delicious. Although not as good as whisky sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 26 January 2014 Share Posted 26 January 2014 Drank too many of the dark, strong, Jennings ale yesterday. Can't remember the name of it. I've just had a bottle of Piddle in the Hole and it went down ok, so I reckon I'm alright! Got 5 different ales and a bottle of Bacchus Cherry Beer (never tried before) for today. There was a question about golden ales a few posts ago. I have one and will let you know in a few hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 6 February 2014 Share Posted 6 February 2014 Have just returned from my local after 3 pints of "Stairway to heaven" from Burton Bridge brewery. Heavenly is the word. I hate the song "Stairway to heaven" but would say that "Stairway to heaven" ale is simply the best that I've been exposed to for years, produced by the best brewery that I've ever come across. A lovely clean drink with hoppy bite, but a subtle sweet flavour....leaving a wonderous headglow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
