The stout was... okay. Perhaps a trifle bland - I'm no expert, but I'm guessing a higher ABV would've helped in that regard.
The stronger of the two IPAs tastes pretty decent to my unrefined palate.

Perhaps weirdly, I prefer the session IPA to the stronger one.

Not really weird. Sessions are by design meant to be more drinkable. Although they’re all pretty light as far as beers are concerned.

Session IPA's are where it's at imo. 4-5% sensibleness instead of all the 6.5-8+% IPA's that seem to be all the rage for the last few years.
At least they're better than the sour beer phase from a few years ago. 🤮

As for the pilsner... meh. I'm not a fan of lagers in the slightest. (That's what pilsners are, right - lagers? I'm such a beer pleb.)

Home now. Grabbed a six pack of Voodoo Ranger Tropic Force Tropical IPA. Opened it and got a huge whiff of pineapple, which was lovely.

Had a nice few Brewgooders tonight (session, hazy, NEIPA, Tropical). The Tropical Pale was the highlight. Then a Hobgoblin Session IPA. Which wasn't quite like the fruity IPAs we see now, perhaps more traditional. But at 3.4%, you cant knock it.

Had a Brewdog king crush ipa. It was rather nice.
Picked up some camden eazy hazy beer & some northern monk low alcohol booze to try last night, so they'll be tried tonight.

I wasn't a fan of the Camden Hazy but the Northern Monk I tried was excellent.

Lucky break neipa from Brewdog. Was really rather nice.
Now a Holy Faith 0.5% beer from Northern monk. It's ok, but a bit watery like so many AF beers.

I think it's probably the first average beer I've ever had from Northern monk. It's nice enough, but won't replace free damm or guiness 0 in my preferred AF beer list.
Still need to try the new lucky saint one yet.

Meantime London Porter.
I've never had a porter that has particularly wowed me, and this falls into the same category; still, it's not bad.

Hazy Jane whilst cooking/watching the football. Italian red with dinner. Yum.

A disappointing Camden Eazy hazy ipa.
Dougs, you said it was 'meh' and it was. Still got 3 to go. I'll sneak them in amongst some nicer brews.

Aye, disappointing. I kind of feel like I'm always trying to find a reasonably priced neck oil alternative. But they don't really exist. Some are good, some just different. But nothing else in the IPA world comes close to neck oil for me. Be glad when it's warmer and I want cheaper lagers!

I had 6 or so pints at the pub watching the match, now on the wine and the rum is calling me. Luckily no work tomorrow and I lined my stomach well with Lahmacun but I'm going to feel rough tomorrow.

Currently a Heineken 0%. But the boy is being quite challenging today so I may have a glass of rioja with dinner. Teenagers...

I had a lovely first day off. 2 pints of neck oil in the local with lunch, then 3 pre-dinner pints of the same with a mate. Glass of wine with dinner. Mind you, we did rather overdo it yesterday on account of the fox (see wildlife thread) so was somewhat jaded today.

Heading home solo after the first day of our 5 day Easter break, so I’ll be seeing what delights the Eurostar terminal in Gare du nord has to offer before the train. Reckon Paul does an abby style ale in the frisge
