Now that you're our representative in the low countries (RIP Benelux mob) I think we should designate you as the person in charge of acquiring and distributing Westvleteren 12 to the rest of us (although I see the bastards are limiting supply to Belgians only at the moment).
Capital idea.
Get it done, Raoul.
Hmm, that's kinda in the wrong part of the world. I (used to) get to Belgium quite regularly but even then it's pretty far from where I normally am. Maybe try and get the in-laws to order me some in.
Yes.

Today's Brewdog from the calendar is "Jet Stream." It's absolutely bang average but you could smash through pints of it on a nice hot day and not feel a thing.
Not really what I'm after though so they could do with upping their game.
How’s it all going now @Spikey M?
This is monstrously good.

Seems ok. Added the apple and cinnamon today (Originally Posted by Giggles
) and there was some shit floating on top of it, but I'm assuming it's the sediment or some form of skin it gets from sitting still for too long?
Yeah you’ll have that on the top and just leave it behind when you siphon it to the bottling bucket. It’s just by-product from the fermentation.
You doing the prison brewing method?Seems ok. Added the apple and cinnamon today (
He's shooting for the moon with a straight dive into Brettanomyces.
Speaking of which, I ordered this and their new stout today. Loved their house saison and all.

Hazy Jane today, which is fine and was at least a variant of it I've not had.
Had a Pohjala porter after to liven my beer week up a bit and it's delicious.
I got some Beer52 offer for a free box and it just arrived. Looks interesting.
If that peanut beer is anything like the one I tried you may was well chuck it in the nearest bin right now.
It sure does look interesting but they would taste even better if you sorted out those fucking blinds.
What's wrong with them?
I'm getting NHS waiting room vibes circa 1995.
It's Northern Ireland. There's a 20 year lag.
Your house looks like Mikes, if it was the past.

Those aren't even granite worktops. Start a gofundme man, I'm heartbroken
Magnolia walls.
It's a rented flat, I'm not responsible for the blinds, worktops or colour of the walls.
You fucking watch your mouth. You got some 'feature wall' monstrosity, I bet.
Edit: Gtfo the way, you melt.
Light grey, like a non-pensioner.
Spikey's got some 'Live, Laugh, Love' shit in his house, no doubt.
Hi Boyd:I got some Beer52 offer for a free box and it just arrived. Looks interesting.
Back on the matter at hand, I really enjoyed the Dark Druid, Boyd.
A 'cream soda lager' from the calendar today, which if nothing else is a bit different to the other three. We'll see how it actually is in practice.
Don't throw shit on my name to divert attention from your own ill choices. We haven't even got to the clutter down the side of your chair yet, Sonny Jim.
Now that's a wall colour.Hi Boyd:
Oh, there's clutter everywhere. I'm untidy AF.
No denial though, Spikey.
That is a definite denial chief. My sister in law has a fucking wall sicker of it though. Surrounded by the obligatory 'diamond' framed pictures of the family.No denial though, Spikey.
She also has a sign in the bathroom that informs all visitors that "homes are measured in happiness NOT size" but I'm not convinced that's actually correct.
Spikey the one showing himself up now. Clutter is a good thing, tidy houses are for perverts and the common.
I have 2 kids. My house hasn't been tidy in about 5 years.
Tonight's supermarket sampling comprises a Pineapple Milkshake IPA thing from Black Sheep, something called Baby Faced Assassin from The Roosters Brewery because why not and maybe a Millionaire from The Wild Beer mob. I'd take a pic but wouldn't want to subject myself to the interior design critique.
Boydys place looks like rented accommodation should.
I think I posted in here when I tried the Trillionaire recently. Godly stuff.
Just drinking a whisky sent to me by @Sama years ago called Penderyn , welsh (only those sample mini airplane bottles). Pretty decent gear, very smooth drinking.
I’ve just opened a sour stout and it’s weird, yet not awful surprisingly.
Pineapple milkshake thing was was quality, and the wee Solskjaer tribute wasn't bad either.
On some good Dutch stuff this evening: Lowlander, Brouwerij T'Ij and Two Chefs Brewing
You can tell it's strong stuff with the typo in the middle of that.
Started with the 'Peanut Riot'. It's weird. Very chocolately. Not sure I'm a fan.
Nah, this is minging. Who the fuck wants chocolate flavoured beer?
It's a fine line with the zany flavoured stouts/porters and quite a lot of them transgress that line heinously.
The Millionaire was decent, perhaps a bit sweet for my tastes. After a horror first experience with Wild Beer the last few I've had have been good.
Better than coffee but yeah I’m with you. “Sticky toffee pudding” is a bad culprit.

The peanut beer I had was an absolute horror show. The only way it could work is if it was subtle, and it really, really wasn't. It was basically fizzy peanut butter. Grim.
This tastes like someone's melted a chocolate bar into a guinness and made it a bit fizzier.
It's also giving me heartburn.
Alright, it's bottling day. What do I need Giggs?
Already have the siphon tube and bottles, is it just brewing sugar other than that?
Possibly a stupid question, but how does the fucker get fizzy exactly?
