Hello, beer lovers! 🍻
How's it going? I hope you are well, at least as well as I am, if not better :)
I am on the island of Pag, Croatia, on Sveti Duh beach, enjoying the sun and the sea to the max. And beer.
And you?
I admit, it's late afternoon, 32 degrees Celsius, and I've already had a few beers to quench my thirst :) 😂 😵💫
However, these two have been in the fridge here for two days, especially for the 420th # Beersaturday!
Two cans, one Irish, a pure classic, I'll be happy to share the beer experience with you.
First, the one with less alcohol.
Guinness Draught Stout
Brewed by Guinness, Dublin, Ireland.
Can, 0.44 l, alcohol 4.2% ABV, IBU 45. Deaught stout, they say.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward.
Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.
Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.
Yes, I know that this dark beer is the most famous in the world and is greatly preferred by many beer tasters.
The beer is dark brown, almost black, and the head, when it forms, is small and very creamy. It has no particular odour. A sip goes down smoothly, and I taste the bitterness of roasted barley, but not too much, along with coffee.
The bitterness and the coffee taste linger for a while in the aftertaste.
Very drinkable and tasty! I drank coffee in the morning, and usually had several cups during the day, but now there's no need for that. Draught Stout replaces this need with its flavours. The low alcohol content is not at all noticeable in the bitterness of the roasted barley and coffee.
It is available in all local shops at €2.90.
While I was tasting beers, my wife was preparing a late lunch. A glass of Guinness was just the ticket.
A couple of days ago, I purchased roller blinds at a local JYSK store for a reasonable price of €20 each. I mounted them this morning on the roof for shade. And I have a few beers, too :)
Perlenbacher Dark Festbier
Brewed by Frankenthaler Brauhaus, Frankenthal, Rheinland-Pfalz Germany.
Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 4.9% ABV, IBU N/A.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Perlenbacher Dark Festbier aims to capture the spirit of German festival beers and their atmosphere. It is made according to traditional German brewing standards, which ensures a very good drinkability.
Well, that's what I'm missing here to experience a genuine festival atmosphere...
The beer is dark brown, with a solid head that disappears quickly. It has no particular odour. It goes down the throat smoothly; the sweetness is predominant, although there is also a slight bitterness, with a taste of caramel, bread, and prunes.
In the aftertaste, it all disappears.
A drinkable and refreshing beer, surprisingly solid for €0.69. I bought it at the local Lidl; if they still have it, I'll get it again.
And what am I listening to when writing this? I didn't write anything for #newtunes this Friday, I took a little break.
