Beer Saturday barbecue
Well it's an absolute wash out in Ireland today unfortunately, but the sun was splitting the rocks last weekend and we had a nice barbecue and a few cold ones.
I'm going to be spending most of today packing boxes for our big move, so my post is about last Saturday, which was a nice sunny day and therefore barbecue weather!
The criteria for a barbecue here in Ireland is a small bit of sun and anything over around 12° Celsius. I know that means Winter to most of ye around the world, but anything approaching 20° Celsius here is a heat wave🔥
Beavertown Brewing Bloody 'ell blood orange IPA
What they say
Here we take a stripped-back IPA malt bill and highly hop it with the tropics of Amarillo and Citra and pile head-on with kilos of Blood Orange zest and juice late in the boil, bringing you a smack of citrus and hints of warm orange aromas.
Malt Extra Pale, Carapils
Hops Columbus, Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo.

Thoughts
I wasn't a huge fan to be honest. I love my IPAs and my hops, but this one was too bitter for my liking and not enough hoppy notes coming through. It's by no means a terrible just not as nice as some recent reviews.
I poured it into my usual beer tasting glass. I really need to approach Martin's off license about my beer reviews and you never know he might sponsor me beers to taste! How sweet would that be!
The Grade
2.5/5

Bloody love Beaver Town beers. I don't think they have a bad one!!
Ya i do too, especially Neck Oil...
I was surprised I wasn't a fan of this one, but there you go...
Yeah Neck Oil and I really like 8 ball as well, but more like an autumn/winter beer. I think Beaver Town were sponsors on a Led Zeppelin tour one time.
I've never had 8ball, I'll have to check that one out 👌
It's a rye IPA!

BEER.YUM! Everything in these images looks delicious. How were those bangers? I think they are called bangers, right?
They were spot on! We don't call them bangers in Ireland though, just plain old sausages!
!BEER and Burger, that sounds like a perfect evening.
Yes a quality combination, thanks 🍻
