Hi, Not anything to do with how many years it sat on an IBS shelf? S'pose not. Jeers, Nik

[Richo]

if they have been sitting out the back some place, maybe... but other wise no.. maybe sitting on someone elses shelf ?

[skillionaire]

Hi, Highly likely, the worry is for anything that is brought into an eastern states shelf, we may not have a big population but we have a big bloody country. A lot of alcohol is tainted making it's way west. Cheers, Nik

Just finished a Brewdogs double (Bashah followed by Tokyo). Bashah is great, but Tokyo, MMMM awesome! YUM YUM!

Hi, You live in a cave? Cheers, Nik

[buzzda]

Lol, he obviously had to choose between power and Tokyo... clearly he choose the right one!!


Hel & Verdoemenis (Hell & Damnation), insanely nice.... Toffee, caramel, dark choc, heavy malt. For a dash over 10% the alc is very well hidden.

The head was amazing... like liquid toffee (I didn't pour for head, it just exploded... don't worry tho, it didn't go to waste, I slurped it up off the coffee table, Barney stylez)


This was at least 5 mins later


Was extremely impressed with this one...

Hi,

Nice work Buzz, that really has me feeling like cracking out a Tokyo or something else in my collection. Might do that for the derby today.

Went to Cowaramup Brewing Co.'s fourth annual beer dinner last night. Was awesome, the best one I've been to, and the best $100 I've spent in a very long time.

Cowaramup Brewing Company will be hosting an exclusive four course dinner
pairing food with the five Cowaramup hand crafted beers.

The evening will be hosted by Jeremy Good along with some of
Western Australia’s best craft brewers

Menu

Sauteed scallops over a tomato bruschetta finished with rockette & goat cheese

Venison carpaccio with kalamata olives & capers

Beef rendang served with aromatic jasmine rice, pappadums & chutney

Mocha pudding with The Grove Vineyard chocolate liqueur sauce

It was really nice to actually play a part in the evening this time around, me and my good friend are the only two people that have attended every Beer Dinner since the concept started. So them using my liqueur for the dessert was very cool.

Cheers,
Nik

MMMM my mouths watering reading that menu. Sounds like a great nite... and props for getting yr liquer in there!! The hardest part is not going for another when finished... so tempting to go back for more.

hahahahahah... hahah.... ha... monitor flushed out the background. Lights weren't on, but it was daylight.. and that liquid was sink the bismarch

[buzzda]

sink the bismarch

Nice!... Good much??

[skillionaire]

Hi, Bismark. For 150 odd dollars a bottle, it would want to be liquid gold - but it isn't. It's pretty awful really. Cheers, Nik

Hi again, Just incase you guys are not familiar, this is a great series; and I think if you are into beer you should see this. You can watch full episodes somewhere but I cannot find the link. This is one of the better sections for people that think beer making is difficult, as James May would say... 'it just isn't'! Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

Nik, check you pm's

[skillionaire]

Hi, Holy sugar plums! I owe you a beer or ten! Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

So bismarck is meh, but this is nom nom




PS, I have had a bunch of other brews, just not been posting much of late. Nik, I have about 20 bottles for your collection and counting

[skillionaire]

Hi, That's sweet as mate! Did you hear about the Dutch 60% beer? Looks like it will be about $75 - COME ON SON! Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

Only heard a little bit about it (that its 60%). Dunno what type it is, and will wait to find out. If its dark and spent a good deal of time contained within oak, I might give it a shot.

[skillionaire]

Hi, Did IBS give you the heads up? I was going to call to make sure they are getting some. Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

i don't think I heard about it from them. It was either from a random website or someone at work told me about it
