After a recount I discover I am actually on 39 so far. So tonight’s can is no 40. A strong (7.3%) west cost ipa called Madison from 6degrees north brewing of Laurencekirk near Aberdeen. Very nice
I may have another can of something later as it’s still early

As predicted I have opened another can of Pure Pilsner from Vocation brewery. I don’t normally drink lager but I would happily drink this again so 41 different beers drunk this year.

Laurencekirk is fast becoming the brewing capital of the NE  Burnside Brewery is pretty much next door to 6degN.

Went and met friends for a few drinks for the first time in a very long time yesterday...
- Van Moll "Langharig Tuig", 5.5% hoppy weizen
- De Dochter van de Korenaar "Nouveau Riche", 6% Wheat beer with rosemary aged on Brunello casks. Rosemary was subtle, could have easily been over-powering.
- Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven "Bye Bye Summer", 6% Bock bier. Rich caramel malts.
- Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven "Zwarte Bliksem", 7.3% Black UPA, winner of Worlds Best Black IPA at the world beer awards 2021.
- Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven "Chocolate OD 1" 9% Chocolate Stout with some coffee noted. Certainly an end of the night drink...
Plus one from friday night
- Gulpener "IJsbock", 10.3% Bock beer that is chilled to -20c after fermentation to freeze out some of the water and concentrate the alcohol and flavours.
Takes me up to 44 different beers so far I think.

I quite like a black IPA. Very unusual style. I have one in my list from Gypsy Hill
No 42 is Polar ice Walls by Wild card brewery. Style isn’t noted on the can but seems like a hazy ipa to me not too strong at 4%. Very drinkable.

I’m starting a list from now, adding what I can remember from before today.
Draught
Palmer’s IPA 4.2% - very nice, a smooth session beer.
Dark Star American IPA 4.7% - sharp and citrusy. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t have more than one.
Timothy Taylor’s Landlord 4.1% - the old favourite.
Bottles
Moretti
San Miguel

20. (bottle) Corona. (4.5%)
A half term trip to a Mexican restaurant, which had run out of the Modelo and Pacifico they usually have available. I was prepared to slum it with this.

No 43was also a restaurant trip in my case to a Thai. So Chang beer. An unremarkable lager type

They still make Corona! Did you have a slice of lime in the neck of the bottle?

Boring anecdote alert: When we visited Thailand (many years ago now) the local lads used to call Chang beer changchang, because there were 2 elephants on the label.
Meanwhile, tonight I’ve added Thornbridge Jaipur to my account. Just the one wee tin because it’s a school night. I’m not sure if I truly appreciated the "6-dimensional hop experience", but it was pleasant enough.
