Had some beauties last night...especially the Crimson Guava Sorbet IPA. It was like drinking a guava mimosa...so thick and smooth. I have never had anything close to this out of a "beer" can...it blew me away.

Followed by a crisp, dry and so fresh Cryo West Coast IPA out of Poland.

For desert a RIS brewed with coconut, Cacao Nibs, salted caramel, Oreo and maple syrup. Absolutely amazing...

Two nights ago I had to work really hard to get through these. Very interesting, but not my cup of tea tbh.

Had these yesterday afternoon...we're back on track, boys. Both were fantastic.






The Coffmaru is all the way from Brazil.

New name for an IPL is now cold IPA. What will those marketers think of next.

Devil's Peak Lucy Goes Cold IPA | 24 x 330ml Cans | 6% ALC/VOL

Cold IPAs have been taking the world by storm so we decided it's time to put Lucy inthe middle of that storm and bring you Lucy goes Cold. This IPA strives to emphasisethe flavours of the hops while using a lager yeast but fermented at slightly highertemperatures. The yeast is a critical element...

Wonder if it's normal lager yeast or Cali common lager yeast.

Interesting approach taken for the brew as the higher temps for lager likely low 15 to 20 ale temps will result in esters being thrown off not crisp and clean. But perfect for this style.

If I had to guess? Yes I think so too but tbh it could be diamond or similiar people have reported good results fermenting it warmer.

Ah yes that would also make sense

Unless it's SafLager W34/70 .... which is well known to work great at Ale temps (brulosophy)

Anyone here going to Clarens Craft Beer Fest. I have an extra ticket if anyone want to buy it from me

Two great sours...but I have had enough sours now for a while.





Followed it with some awesome DIPA and the old faithful Brewdog that never lets me down...
