We have both just had our birthdays, quite a change this year, as we are usually away for them. We had just got back from our birthdays away last year and went into Lock Down. We have used the van for a few days in September but that is it and it is off the road now having failed its MOT,

Anyway after moaning about about the beers I have been drinking for the last few months, a batch of German beers I got where very nice. here is the review of the first three.

Started more of the new beers

I have had a few more new beers over the last week and there may be even more before the month ends. All of these are beers that I bought online, in fact most new beers lately have been bought online, as I never get out, since Covid 19. 

Actually, we do have a trip away booked, in the motorhome for early next month and I just hope that everything goes well.

Slow start to May

Well we are still here, the new beers are running low but I have ordered some more from the net. I did have one order not turn up, they had run out of beers but never thought to let people know. I did get my money back from them though but only after I complained that it hasn't turned up.

So I have slowed down the drinking of new beers, I think it could be a good thing though, as I am mainly drinking good beers now.

As for this lockdown, I actually went out in the car last week, we drove to ASDA, picked up a Click and Collect and drove home. I do not know how to put up with the excitement. Anyway the beers for early May are,

Naparbier, ZZ Amber Ale from Spain

 

5.5% cloudy light amber in colour with a thin head, a very hoppy aroma and taste, half went down the drain.
