    I still like their Shoefferhofer or whatever it is called. Has it replaced that or is it an xmas special? Love a good weissbier

    I think it's a replacement
    we have only 3 Christmas beers in English Aldi & are all awful
    in other news

    After watching a show how they aged a wine
    in minutes with sonic waves
    Placed a speaker next to a bottle of Chimay
    & played STP, FNM & Nirvana

    Long day visiting an elderly relative, so a well deserved few pints of stout when we got home at 8.30pm (no food since breakfast, oh the hardship). Then delving more into my Tempest batch with Unforgiven Red Rye - tons of beech smoke and spicy Rye malt, and In The Dark We Live black IPA - sweet rounded dark malt with fruity hops balancing and then just edging it out. Lovely stuff.

    Moor Nor'Hop followed by Green Flash Imperial IPA, and you know what? Much preferred the Not'Hop, absolutely superb.

    Have picked up some of the Moor output in cans and they have all been great. I know people get over excited about US IPAs (myself included) etc., but some of the output by breweries in the UK is simply amazing.

    Sounds like a nice place. Don't get to the pubs much though as I have to drive everywhere living in the sticks

    Berliner Kindl
    not quite as good as I remember
    is it because these Aldi lines when new are pretty good then go down hill
    or was I shocked to get any enjoyment out of a 1 pound supermarket LAGER

    Continuing my experiments in rapid ageing
    Pumped 90s alt rock through RedChurch Old Ford Export Stout for 3 hours
    really think it's made a difference
    really well rounded big hop & big chocolate

    Not with the Old Ford
    but I have had a control and test Chimay
    & it did work
    though with the Imp & Export stouts
    A) I can't really afford 2 &
    B) I think I can distinguish a fresh beer from an aged one, maybe, just

    Tucher Christkindlesmarkt Bier - Not really my thing. Too sweet, not enough going on, too strong for the amount of flavour

    Have to be careful though. Some breweries leave beers to age themselves for 6 months or so, others just release them straight away. That's why the Fullers imperial stout got so many bad reviews on release.

    Spot on. Disappointed that they don't even have the Innis and Gunn Treacle Porter this year. Would of picked up a few bottles of this like last year.
