I've had the three beers labelled märzens in the festbier box. All of them were very much as I was expecting - good, malty, strong beers.

Angry man festbier. A grainy, peppery strong, malty lager. Perfectly fine beer.

Very much like the last one, but a little less caramelly & a little more peppery.

Let the festivities begin! Malt forward, biscuits like a digestive, perfectly copper coloured & perfectly palatable.

Something from my home town, a long way from home - a well pump. The company closed in 1965.

Twirlies. They get on a bus at around 09:00 and ask if they're twirly to use their bus pass.

#Oldwhatnow? 🤪 I generally don't brew beer that is easily available in shops, but it's a good measure to see how close you can get it. Also: what's better than a bottle of OP? 30 bottles of OP!

I remember all that. Joined a rugby club, but didn't like it - posh lads who were nasty pieces of work. An American football club was starting up & I joined that - they were grateful for anyone to join. Started watching it on telly. Went to a few American Bowls at Wembley. Happy times.

#homebrew #brewday all over bar the washing up. A jar of golden syrup will be added after 48 hours. This should give a beer with 5.9% alcohol & a calculated bitterness of 44 IBU.

My child requested a sammich. Something spicy. They didn't even smell the cucumber & Bombay spread sandwich I made.

I'm absolutely no trouble drunk. I'll suggest I'm gonna be just over there taking it easy, then when caught sleeping & told to go to home / bed will obey.

I would drink eight pints & half way through telling everyone I love them, fall asleep. The next day I'd be told I unsuccessfully tried to start a Hey Jude sing along.

Aldi have three heffes on the shelves, but two are commonplace* & I remember the other as merely OK from last year. Even the most mass produced German Pilsener will fall into my basket so easily though. *what a time to be alive, where heffes are deemed commonplace.

Home Bargains French corn lager was worth a punt. Fairly bland & inoffensive, but it has bought up some thoughts. If it's full flavoured, with exceptional balance - can it be crisp with a clean finish? It's a bit of a word salad.

Yes diesel is expensive at £2 a litre but a milkshake IPA works out at about £18 a litre and tastes an awful lot worse.
