What beer do you drink?

Over summer, if it made 2months, I was thinking "wow - an old brew!" With winter heading in, at least there's a chance of aging some brews......
The other half distills - and has also done 4 batches of Mead - now, depending on the honey used - that's good shit! It does take a while to make though, and we're trying to age at least one batch for a year or more.....

Would like to try making Mead. From what I can gather, its ready to drink as soon as bubbling stops. Is it hard to make? What recipe did you use? I think I'll get Googling.

Most [Stein]lager in a green bottle does it for me, NZ & import. CD when home - when in Rome...
Speights distintion has caught my attention lately as have some of these hearty Monk brews from Belgium & Holland...Good winter quaffing.

I like brown beers but not so much the black types. Even drink a nice drop here (Saudi) called Moussey. Tastes real good but you have to pretend you're getting pissed as its got no alcohol.

No- its almost ready to bottle after the bubbling stops - about 4 months for a gallon bottle - then you should leave it for a year or so.......I've got one old recipe - take 1cwt of honey and 45gals of water........Mstriumph is the brewer of mead, what with her being a woad wearing wild woman and all.........

Tried an interesting brew this week - Mango beer, by Matsos, made in Broome! - Rather pleasant, in a smooth, mild Ale, mangoey way.

Leopard! That shit even had paws on the can didn't it? I drank that when I was on the lam in Hastings 81-83, fucking rubbish! I bet your dad's home brew kicked more arse than that LC shite.

Watching Midge Marsden play at the Mayfair was the highlight of that 2-yr stint.
