Bacon on a croissant would be ace
We had a Japanese beef curry.
Love a pie/pasty!
This is the only pic I can find of it, this was 2 weeks after bottling - it did get some more carb than this. 11%
Muntons Craft Pale Ale malt (just used that as my base malt to give it try for a few months - slightly less extraction than MO, but tasty enough), I intended to use EKG but forgot to buy any so ended up using Apollo which was the best I had to hand - it was a bit of a day...
I boiled 35l down to ~9l
I made a smash barleywine by boiling for 5 hours last year, loads of effort but it tasted great (imo)
Haggis is one of my faves, not had it in ages though. Looks tasty!
Big fish
Game set up on a table
New year, new game - Charterstone, a legacy game to get stuck into!

Overlapping cards, each card is in quarters with 4 different colours, they represent a city with roads and 4 different zones. The cards are arranged to make the roads connect and the coloured zones make groups where possible
Game laid out in starting position.
Played a couple of game tonight - a print and play game I printed yesterday (Sprawlopolis) and a legacy game (Legends of Yu) lots of fun!
Brewing equipment - a 3 in 1 kettle, mash bin and cooking cool upside down drying on a towel and a bag of grain.

Been a bit slow on the brewing recently, a buddy in work gave me this Düsseldorf alt kit so I've had a go on Thursday
Also turned this cheap 33l AliExpress SS pan into a fermenter so we'll see how that goes.
4 cans of beer: Henhouse county pale - Rigg and Furrow, We need a bigger dumpster - Twice Brewed, Jackalope - Sinister Brew, Geometry of sound - Wylam Vs Verdant.
Same, picked these up in Newcastle earlier - where to start ....
So, depending on where you are, this could potentially be a continental breakfast?

Played some board games with the kids then I did a bit of Lego - been meaning to get this out for a while now:)
A whole squid on a chopping board
Mussels in water
Been to the Grainger market yesterday and cooking up these treats later today:)
Enjoy!
Tyne bar at the bottom of the stairs is great, you're not far from two by two brewery there which is ace, a bit of a walk to the Cumberland arms is a lovely pub.
Then there's Donzoko brewery right there!
There's a few more in between too!
Absolutely:)
