What are you drinking ?

[jt]

Ok, so What Are You Brewing was a hotty, as topics go.

Now I'm 15 pints into a keg I only filled on Tuesday and wondering if anyone else has a favourite at the moment ?

It's my second brown with US-Oh05 and it's better than the forst, maybe Ikept the temps down a bit during the scorcher we had in januray

Had a four pack of Weka lager over the weekend. Man, what a great drop! Not normally a lager drinker, but this was really really good. Very crisp and quenching, but had enough flavour to satisfy. I got the last four pack, and have not seen it since. Definitely grab this one if you see it and haven't tried it yet- you will not be disappointed!

Why the fuck would someone half fill Brewjoilias with spring tide? Spring tide is there metrosexual-lager aye isn't it?

[Mike Neilson]

Because I walked in with a rigger and he got hot flushes and didnt know what to do with it. It was only when mr tattoo man came up to him and asked who it was for did he start to pour it!! Oh yeah dont quote me if my hydrometers wrong but it measured the FG at 1.021??? if you doubt my hydrometer chuck you hydrometer into my rye and it should end up on 1.016

Currently sipping on a pint of my own Saison, which is still tasting damn fine.

Spent the night supping Brewjolais at the Northern Steampship in downtown Auckland. I was a bit panicked earlier coz Greig said he got rhw last half glass last night and the barman had said they "had no more". Thankfully it turned out to be a staff education issue coz there was plenty tonight.

It's a nice drop, though not as good as last year's in my opinion. Not quite as complex. Loads of bitterness and plenty of hop resin around. A nice drop for an evening.

[Pint_of_Bitter]

SNAP! Did the same as you Martin. Got through a couple of Jugs of Brejolais tonight.

Not a bad beer. Great bitter after taste but slightly disappointed in the lack of aroma considering the use of green hops. But overall not bad at all.

[Greig McGill]

Yeah, and I'm still not over it. Last time I'll ever go to Northern Steamship. Seriously, the place was just wall to wall munt. I'd just come from Galbraiths, so it was real culture shock. I can't believe people want to drink in that environment.

As for the Brewjolais, Nuffield Street had been tried earlier only to find they were still pouring that horrid sun dance thing so I was counting on NS. Damn barman. As for the little I got of the beer (had to share just under half a glass with four people), the only thing I can say is "drinkable". That's meant as a complement though. It's like they used all the hops at around 15 minutes with maybe a small aroma addition. Very nice, but not overdone hop flavour and the perfect mouthfeel - smooth and so easy to drink. The useless bartender coist them several pints, as I'd have certainly refilled as much as possible! :)

Had a 666 Gabriel on the way home. And Dion from Tuatara turned up just as I started it, so I had a Pitch Black to keep him company....

Got home to a box of "NP till I Die" beer... more to follow...

[Kempicus]

Pray tell Mr Yalmikim....?

[Stu McKinlay]

Needs more assessment... hopefully tomorrow. I must say it wasn't really what I expected. I'm not sure what I did expect though!??

[JoKing]

The suspense is killing me.
