Went to our newly reopened ethnic club. The beer lines were dirty and the beer was so sour and musty it was undrinkable. Even my partner was asking me where we could tip our beers out.
Look over the crowd all drinking the tap beers.
Some people will drink anything.
Bought a mixed carton of beers from Alistair at Lobethal Bierhaus. Every single beer a cracker! Bright fresh chewy malt (remember malt flavour in beer?) and bright hops. Still excellent.
Had a @mismatchbrewing Rye IPA Boilermaker with an old mate last night. Excellent! One of my favourite styles too. 🙏
Meanwhile, any brewer knows a heap of ways of adding mouthfeel and residual sugars. Higher mash temp, higher % of crystal malt, oats….
So I’ve resigned myself to the fact that craft brewers are generally cowboys who don’t list allergens. And from here on, I can’t trust their beers until they get organised or fined. Back to wine or spirits.
Getting txts from a mate out on the piss. They’re at one particular hotel and having to send the tap beers back because they’re sour. And these are pale ales and IPA’s. Oh dear. Not good enough.
Had my 1st “green death” in a long time today. It was fresh and really tasty. I’d forgotten just how good they are.
The new @prancingponysa Serenity of Speed pale ale has a lovely mouthfeel and a lingering puffy head. 👏 🍻
Just bought a crapload of beers to last the next few weeks. @PirateLifeBeer IPA is always a must. Also trying the Gage Roads Session XPA tomorrow.
The best beer on my radar in a week or so easily, Western Ridge Strawberry Gum. 3.5% but mouth filling enjoyment.

Tried some cracking local beers for a new article over the last few days. 6 beers that were each a silver lining on a fairly shitty week.
