I'd like to try the latter!Heineken, Carlsberg Export, and my homebrew. The latter gets me slaughtered
I struggled with the beer when living in Oz.
It's lager pal, not into ales. I started brewing at the beginning of the first lockdown and I'm on my 8th brew now and it gets better each time, I've found that the longer you leave it the better it is. I spent quite a few bob on the equipment but it's definitely been worth it in the long run. Did loads of research and can now produce 40 pint barrels of crystal clear decent tasting lager at about 5% (I think). I now buy my brews from Wilko which are very cheap and are no different from the more expensive ones.
Me to, except the fizzy, bit exotic for my taste.
Sounds awesome pal. During lockdown, I have tried new things including various lagers and some I've really enjoyed. Keep brewing pal.
A man after my own heart. Is there somewhere local selling Belgian beer?
48 bottles!?! Wow, that is mental. Seeing as you've only supped one bottle of IPA tonight, what are you gonna do with them all?
Not done any homebrew for years, I wonder if the concentrate kits have improved, the only decent stuff I managed to make involved mashing, sparging & simmering at about 95 deg C for some considerable time, straining then force cooling with a coil with cold water passing through it just to get it to the point to pitch the sedimentary pre cultured yeast in, phew it was painful. Apart from the fact after a couple of litre bottles people had problems finding the door it actually tasted good though, a very hoppy lager from memory. I may have another go using the easy method & see what it tastes like these days. Or just buy some Morland Old Golden Hen, or Moretti Lager which I've recently found to be quite palatable.
Local to me, in the village. 77 miles from Blackpool though
That sounds very complicated. What I do is very simple and I quite like the results but maybe it's shite compared with professional brews. Anyhow, it does for me
We normally do a trip to Belgium a couple of times a year so craving some decent beer. Have always maintained that a micro pub in Blackpool selling Belgian beer would do wellLocal to me, in the village. 77 miles from Blackpool though
I went to Ostend for a beer and food trip and that was awesome too. Miss those little breaks.
Things are a bit different now and craft beer is the go-to now. Many small boutique breweries opening up to compete with the vineyards.
Now the wine
