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

Very pleasant evening's drinking (although my wife did ask the pointed "When was the last evening you didn't have a drink?" question):

Barry's American Brown - awesome drop! Balance between malt and hops was divine. The first bottle disappeared in seconds, luckily I had another. Thanks for the birthday pressie mate!

Stone Ruination IPA - Another US IPA that has survived the journey well. Aggressive bitterness, but lots of fruit sweetness. Glad I've got a second bottle of this lurking in the fridge too.

Last night:

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Anchor Steam Beer
Plan K

Both Sierra and Anchor were good but maybe a tad travelled. I liked the Anchor, would love to try it fresh.
Plank K was tip top :D

[Martin Bridges]

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA - Intriguing drop. They claim that there's a single 90-minute hop addition (plus large dry hop). Bitterness was very smooth, I even detected hints of chocolate. Liked this a lot.

[Stu McKinlay]

I liked it a lot too. the "single addition" is continuous... so there are hops constantly entering the boil for the entire 90min.

[Martin Bridges]

Ah, this would explain the smooth, multi-faceted flavour. Nice.

Met the Brewer's Guild guys after their BrewNZ wrap up meeting yesterday (to pick up the Beervana People's Choice trophy).

Mac's Great White - I'm digging this right now
Mac's Sassy Red

Then home to have a catch up with my bro:
Plan K
Nerdherder Trial
His Majesty
Her Majesty Trial

[Tony]

Trappistes Rochefort 6
Maredsous 6 Blond

Love those Belgian's

[Ally Mcg]

Epic lager and wishing I hadn't just played indoor football at ten o'clock. Stupid late kick offs.

Gives me more time to plan my next couple of brews

[Stu McKinlay]

Ninkasi Tricerahops - fuckin' aye!!!!

Brew Moon Dark Side... yeh, not bad (reckon Sam might like that thought).

[David Wood]

Stonecutter, tasting awesome from the tap.
Firestone Walker Pale 91, tastes like it could have been good but hops have thinned.
Mata Horopito, crap.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo, amazingly amazing as usual.

[James P]

Epic Pale on tap at Pom's.... much better than the bottle in my opinion.

Just sampled some Plan K at the Free House - a non beer drinking work colleague thought it smelt like DB! To be fair, I think that all beer smells like DB to her.

I thought it was a nice drop by the way.
