Herevana - # 194 - Wilderness Brewing - Wild Fire

Wilderness - Wild Fire - A Sour Ale. Music on Vinyl for the afternoon Cheese, crackers and other things What's not to like ?

Here we have: Wilderness Brewing – Wild Fire. I generally like the Wilderness Brewing beers, and when they’ve joined with Cell Division, beer that you don’t see in Auckland, well the temptation was too much. These don’t last long on the shelf either, and whey they’re seen they have to be purchased, there isn’t often a second chance. So, Wilderness Brewing make the Wilderness Wild Fire in…

Herevana -#193 - Craftwork - Plum Dubbel

Starting with a Dessert Sweet beer, but with Vinyl Music, and a lack of cheese and crackers.... it's mostly working out Craftwork Plum Dubbel

Here we have: – Craftwork Plum Dubbel – I’ve had this beer before – So I re-read the brewers notes, wherein it says “a one off”, so that confused me. But it is good beer so it’s not a sad confusion. I got this bottle as part of a short lived Craftwork Societé wherein I gave them cash and they send me beers, the best kind of arrangement, one that included really rare and special beers that weren’t…

Herevana - #191 - QBrew - 38 Porter

There’s this little brewery, I’m sure they won’t mind me saying little, called QBrew, and I recently brought a 6 pack from them, and I enjoyed them all (with this exception), on the Instagram if you want to look for the pictures. But this is a chance to write a little bit more about one particular beer, a Porter. QBrew are based in Maungatapere, Northland, New Zealand, and 38 Porter is of course…

Herevana - #190 - Brood Fermentation - PIP

I’m having a special beer, Brood Fermentation Pip. Special in that Brood Fermentation beers are not that readily available and are not easy to get one before they are all gone, it’s a challenge. Also special as this will the the first Brood Fermentation beers I’ve written about here. I’ve been trying to move away from the various Sours, Saisons, Dubbel etc, and the cupboard stash is diminishing,…

Herevana - #189 - Monk's Café - Grand Cru

Monk's Café - Grand Cru. A Saturday for some Flemish Red to enjoy and a dose of Neko Case for the ears.

Another Humid and close Saturday late summer – so I’m having a Herevana beer, a Monk’s Café – Grand Cru, Flanders Red Sours are something I would gravitate to if it was on the bar list over many other styles. Same brewery that makes the Gulden Draak  I had last week. Brouwerij Van Steenberge make the Monk’s Café Grand Cru in Ertvelde, East Flanders, Belgium 🇧🇪, and this is a Sour Flemish Ale –…

Here we have: beer 186 in the #Herevana series. I’ve been weak and went to the cellar stash to finish off a tortured week, but it’s all done and over and we go again.

Herevana #185 - Garage Project - Shinrin-Yoku (2021)

Herevana #185 - Garage Project - Shinrin-Yoku (2021) A top shelf Wils/Sour beer, one that just got better as it warmed and I got sadder as I didn't;t have the patience to wait for it to get there. Music from Blue Oyster Cult from 1974 on Vinyl.

#185 – it’s a Garage Project – Garage Project Shinrin Yoku made in  Wellington, 🇳🇿 and it is a Sour / Wild Beer – Flavored ale of 6.6% ABV, this would be 2 standard drinks in NZ Another of the beers that have been put aside to share, but that I’ve finally given in and put in the fridge to enjoy, on what it a really nice day, amongst the best of the summer so far. I’ve been working in the garden…

Herevana #184 - Garage Project - Tsuyu Saison (2022)

Garage Project - Tsuyu Saison (2022) Herevana #184 I gave in and opened this bottle of what turned out to be something rather special. I played some vinyl from 1969, which was psychedelic, and had some dip instead of cheese, which is where I went wrong.

I’ve started to number the Herevana beers posts – so #184 is a Garage Project Garage Project / Coedo / Stone Tsuyu Saison, which is made in Wellington 🇳🇿, and is a Saison / Farmhouse – Flavored and it comes in at 11.6% ABV I’ve been keeping this back as a share bottle, but sometimes there is just too much temptation, and sometimes you have to overcome your willpower and give in. I’m still on…

Herevana - Omer Vander Ghinste Brasserie - LeFort Tripel

Herevana - Omer Vander Ghinste Brasserie - LeFort Tripel A rather lovely and fully enjoyable Tripel and some glorious music on original vinyl. Enjoying this no work week week

In what has become a family tragedy the hand-blown wonky glass that I was s fond of, and love, is no longer with us. Dropped, shattered and swept away, but at least it lived its best life, bringing joy. Moving on it’s “Brewery with the longest name” competition time, and I have a beer from Brouwerij Omer Vander Ghinste (Bockor) - the Omer Vander Ghinste Brasserie LeFort Tripel The Brouwerij Omer…

Herevana - Affligem - Dubbel

Herevane - Affligem Dubbel I just wanted more. I did have New Zealand Music and of course cheese and crackers.

For a lovely sunny Sunday I have another of the Belgian beers I brought, the Affligem Dubbel – Double, brewed by Brouwerij Affligem / De Smedt (Heineken) in 🇧🇪 Opwijk, Flemish Brabant, Belgium. It is of course a Dubbel of 6.8% and 21 IBU things. The Wonky glass again, I can’t help that it’s a nice to drink from glass that sits nicely in my hand, which is also becoming wonky with Arthritis, it…

Herevana - Brouwerij Huyghe - Delirium Argentum

Herevana - Brouwerij Huyghe - Delirium Argentum The return of the wonky glass! And a lively pour of beer. Lovely nose and I'm not kidding when I say a full explosion of such gorgeous fluffy billowy Belgian style beer yeastiness and 80's pop music.

Here we have a beer from Brouwerij Huyghe – the Delirium Argentum, they make it in 🇧🇪 Melle, East Flanders, Belgium and this one, it’s and IPA – Belgian / Saison with a 7.0% ABV and  49 IBU things I made a trip to my local Liquorland where I got sidetracked in the Belgian beer shelves. In general I like the beers from Belgium, but usually would drink locally, so this is both a bit off track and…

Beer - #1,117 - Garage Project - Hops On Pointe Grand Cru

Beer 1,117 About a beer I had 10 years ago when it was new and young and I was starting out. This is just nice beer, it's always been nice beer, it just got much nicer and rather posher. Excellent way to spend a Sunday and some excellent music too.

Beer - #1,116 - Liberty Brewing - Prohibition Porter

Beer - #1,116 - Liberty Brewing - Prohibition Porter A very good porter, and some interesting and enjoyable music on vinyl that doesn't get played enough.

Liberty Brewing Prohibition Porter, this year in a can – a big serving can, unlike previous iterations that have been in a 330ml bottle, and the mystique that comes with rare beer in small bottles. I’m going to say that I have a 2022 version in the cupboard, as well as the 23 version, so I can compare them side by side at some point, but not today. So I haven’t had the 22 version, and I have some…

Beer - #1,115 - Garage Project - Belly of the Beast

Beer - #1,115 - Garage Project - Belly of the Beast Go big, go early. Lovely deep and rich Porter with a lot of really nice things going on.

For the First Sunday of Spring, since how Spring starts on the equinox, it’s a Garage Project Belly of the Beast. A Pastry Porter if you will, or a porter with some flavours added. It is also the start of a summer time daylight savings change, it’s all happening. I’ve also even brought some new vinyl music to listen to, Slowdive have a new album that I’m partial to. Garage Project of course…
