What are you drinking ?
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

hmmm, so far. Young's Double Chocolate Stout, Budweiser American Ale, Chimay Grand Reserve, New Belgium Mothership Wit and a Baltika 6 Nopmep. I'm happy.

Went out to Gordon Biersch down in Palo Alto tonight. Unfortunately I was driving, so had 3 pints of the lowest ABV on offer, Schwartzbier 4.2%. After a week of drinking some of the hoppiest beers CA has to offer, it was bland and tasteless. Shame really. Got home, drank Rogue St.Rogue Red Ale - was a nice balanced ale with good hop profile, and better way to end the night. Struggling a little on the Dogfish 90 minute IIPA, will soldier through. One night left until I hit the big smoke of San Francisco.

My 10c for some boring Saturday at home drinking
Best part of a rigger of 1812 from Thirsty Bloke. Tb have invited me to share my HB at the next tasting they run. Wish i had some more BF
Some HB Harvest Ale, fresh hop a la the Macs effort and now drinking my Plinian, a clone of a beer some of you might know from the States. Too sweet; too much crystal i think. American hops on the nose are awesome tho

What an afternoon! OK, my Red Irish Lord only scored averagely in the Western Brewers Conference competition, but I got to taste:
- various vintages of Epic Lager
- various vintages of Epic Pale Ale
- Epic Porter
- Epic Mayhem 2006
- Epic Pale Ale brewed in the UK!!! Stick that in your pipe Wellington!!!! Only joking, but it's nice to get something first up here for once!
Plus I got to talk beer to a whole bunch of talented homerewers and drinkers. What a stunning afternoon!, Shame Steve couldn't be there, but I've taken away a couple of litres of his Saison to compare with mine.
Love you all,
Martin

Not a lot the last couple of days, but in a tasting on Friday with a group of normally swill-drinking mates:
Harringtons Rogue Hop
Wigram Vienna Lager
Bookbinder
RPA pale ale
Tuatara pale ale (universally proclaimed worst beer of the day)
Epic pale ale
Cock&Bull Monks Habit
RPA dark ale
RPA porter
Renaissance Stonecutter
Followed by a little sleep on the floor and then a half hour walk home. Great day!

Whipped up a Belgian Pale today. Was supposed to be the case swap beer but now it is just to grow up some yeast.
Tonight, drinking:
Affligem Dubbel
Rochefort 6
Maresdous Bruin (my pick of the bunch)
Guess what I'm brewing next week... or maybe the week after.

A Belgian?

Yep... redoing my Bruin. Liked the last one, and everyone else loved it, but I thought it needed something else.

What yeast?

Does that mean we can expect a Belgian in the case swap? (fingers crossed)

Yes, definitely.
Either a pale ale (lower OG than styles guide recommends) or a bruin (most likely a Belgian Dark Strong Ale or the miscellaneous Belgian style by 'definition'). Probably the latter. Brewed both late last year... It's an area of interest for me. I'm also kind of keen on playing with Blonds at some stage too.
