Your Beer of the week

[TinaLes]

I am on the bottled Hobgoblins tonight @£1.25 big Sainsburys.
First was the Ruby Ale, very dark, strong hoppy flavours,bitter in taste, lingering length on the pallet, reminded me of The IPA's of yesteryear.
The next is the Amber Ale,much easier to drink, of the two this one is the better one.
Dinner is over, got to wash up now, with some assistance from Mr Bosch.
Cheers everyone.
LES

July, is the worst month for new beers since I started doing this blog, it's not that I haven't had plenty of beer, it's just, new beers I haven't been trying.

I think it was getting out of the house, that got me started drinking new beers again, so here are the few beers I had during that trip.

Recently acquired a taste for wheat beers Hoogarten [sp] in particular. Needs to be drunk quite soon after buying as it does seem to go 'off' if left a few weeks. I'm finding the current batch of IPAs far too bitter and hoppy for my taste, although the Amber Ale that TinaL commented on an excellent ale for just relaxing and watching the sun go down.

I have not found that Wheat beers go off and as for IPA you are right the new ones are far too hoppy.

These are some of the beers from the middle of August, I still have about 50 or more beers (I can not be bothered to count them) to try, so am making a start on them. The real reason for the lack of new beers drank lately, is that I bought lots of beers that I really like at the beginning of Lock Down, and have been drinking them rather than the new ones.

During lockdown I ordered online some of the beers we’ve enjoyed from around the world. Our favourites are Big Wave, Chang, Banks, Blue Moon and Paulaner. We also like Cocoa Wonderland!

Last night I was drinking pints of Titanic (yes it did go down well!) It left a taste in my mouth like I had just smoked 50 cigs.

All consumed in Wetherspoons in Mold.

The boilers probably need purging

As you probably know my hobby is beer, so how about just once a week we post about a beer we have had during the week (good, bad or indifferent beer or lager), not a your favourite beers but as I said, one you have had during the week.

Let me make a start, this week I have had a bottle of

Thwaites, Golden Wünder, England

It is supposed to be an Oktoberfest beer, 4.6% very pale yellow with a very thin head, slight sweet hop aroma, rather watery initial taste but with a bit of a citrus aftertaste. I found it to be very ordinary but not a bad beer.

If I can't get a gole

Personally I prefer cider but if I can't get my gums around

The gobble on the hob will have to do

I have had a few more new beers over the last week and there may be even more before the month ends. All of these are beers that I bought online, in fact most new beers lately have been bought online, as I never get out, since Covid 19.

I am a real ale man obviously, but I also like ‘real’ ciders too. I have been supping a fair amount of old Rosie over the last couple of months especially. Goes down so well in the hotter weather. Cheers

A beer I’ve ignored for ages as others by the brewer are my fave is West Berks Maharaja IPA

The brewer couldn’t full fill my Good Old Boy bright beer mini keg order and offered bottles of it or their Maharaja IPA in the mini keg.
I chose the IPA
And it’s good - a lighter beer than GOB but good for summer

 

[Ralph-Dot]

As I said in the last post, I have been having more of the new beers and in fact I think about one per day. So just to finish off August here are the rest of them, well most of the I will do the four from the Black Isle brewery in the next one.

The G-K IPA is`nt too hoppy?

Hasn`t been a good pint of Guiness. IMV since they put it on Keg, and now served FAR to cold!. USED to be able to get proper (hand pulled) draught in parts of Ireland. But even that has dried up now I believe.?

The only reason the Chill a beer is to make it drinkable!. Good beer can be tasted at room temperature

Back in August I had four canned beers from Black Isle Brewing Co, quite a good Scottish brewer. Three of these beers are made in collaboration with Flavourly.

The rot set in around here with the invention of Hopback Summer Lightning, a nasty thin overhopped excuse of an ale. They also make GFB, again thin with no backtaste. I sometimes wonder if they supply their 'beer' as syrup concentrate to which surgical alchohol is added at the handpump to give the varying strengths as all Hopback beer tastes the same. Now all these micro breweries and pop up up pups sell similar rubbish joke beers, hopped up to disguise the lack of body or flavour. Oh give me Ringwood Best, sorry now named Razorback as the nippers wont order a pint of best. Ruddles County, Bass.........

Drinking these at the moment. They’re two of the beers made by my lad. He owns Big Mountain Brewing in Chamonix. I did have six other beers he makes but, well you know what happened to them. He also has bar of the same name in Chamonix on the Main Street.check it out next time you’re in town.
Cheers.

 

[Ralph-Dot]

I would love to

 

[EzeeRider]

I ordered a mixed case from the Burwell Brewery, I can recomend Judy's Hole, Stevans Muhle and Burwell Sunshine.

Early in September we had a three night visit to York in the Van, most things were almost the same a usual. Other things were very different, and therefore the new beers I found, without mixing with too many other people, was very few.

The only shop that I went in on our three day visit was a new beer shop, what a waste of time that was, small cans for well over £4.00, most over £5.00 and some beers were a lot more.

I will mention the couple of new beers I tried but will also cover what I really enjoyed drinking without thinking.
