That beer menu is astounding. Me thinks a trip is in order!Smuttynose Imperial Stout from ---> http://www.ebenezerspub.net/Beer.html
right now i'm drinking....
Had my first Pliny the Elder this weekend, in a bottle. Was not impressed. Tasted nothing like the "clone" recipe I brewed (which was outstanding). Not a whole lot of flavor, though it was a fairly smooth drinking beer, and not the hop aroma I was hoping for.
Maybe an old bottle that a lot of the hop flavor had dissipated from?

Had an Abita Turbodog while listening to some live tunes at the new local wine/beer/cheese/game meat/cigar specialty store. Home now and about to tap into a fresh bottle of Gaffi Pinot Noir.

Not sure if I like it, but damn has it hit me hard.
what the hell are you doing in sydney hab ?
Drinking, mostly.
Actually I've got a ~3 month gig doing some lab work at the UNSW here.
Are you going to back to college in ca ?
Probably an old bottle. All the bottles I've gotten up here in the PNW have been bottled, at most, a month earlier and have been spectacular. And a keg around here, at any bar/shop lucky enough to get one, doesn't last any longer than the amount of time to empty the keg by keeping the tap on full open.Had my first Pliny the Elder this weekend, in a bottle.

Bacardi and Dr. Pepper. Sunday drunk.
Did I mention that I'm going to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver this year?
You know there are more than a couple of us in the neighborhood.Did I mention that I'm going to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver this year?
Had a couple of these and am fairly well lubricated:
Emerson's limited release Dunkelweiss.
Mmm its gooood!
The last year and a half Richard has been making some cracking good special brews!!!
And in other news, I just signed on the dotted line, I'm now going to be one of the exhibitors at Beervana this year, just booked in to have a stall..... Pricey but the exposure for my beer makes it worth it.

Green Mountain Coffee breakfast blend.
I plan on it. I'm an American Homebrewers Association member so I get in on the pre-sale, and the chance to buy tickets to a special Saturday session.
It'll be a short trip - just a few days and we're visiting friends out there - but as it gets a bit closer I'd be psyched to see if I could organize a monkey lunch or something.
I love pretty much anything made by AVBC.
I brought home a bottle of their Boont amber ale just last night, really nice drop.I love pretty much anything made by AVBC.
Can't complain about the price either at $NZD15 for the 650ml bottle.
Right now I'm having an Aussie beer, Coopers extra stout.
