Don't remind me of this experience Perry. Having done the "cellar" door tasting, as well as the attempt to knock over their offering at your fine establishment, I fell as though I have ddone my part in educating the masses against the vile and evil work that this naff excuse for an alcohol...

Generic, genetic, meh - details... :icon_cheers:

Nobody is ever quite sure about how SS manages, I suspect it is some sort of generic thing... :icon_cheers: It was good to see all the old faces and new at the Swap. Thanks to Winkle and Anna for a great time, to Bribie G for the AWESOME curry (sorry I missed you his time around), and to all...

1st rule of case swap - do not use glass... (OK, so it puh-robably isn't the 1st rule, but it is a rule IIRC...). Sorry to hear your pulling from the swap NN. Will you still be disgracing the group with your presense??? That reminds me... [Mental note - make a last minute, cameo appearance...

You could also try and play catch-up, but that tends to be a dangerous game at these types of events... :icon_vomit:

It's interesting looking at the contents of the kits that the fermentables and hops are separate, so people have got a very clear indication about what the components and their quantities this beer consists of. The two things that I would like to know are (a) how many people will stump up...

...there is a high corelation between your credit card statements and your CraftBrewer invoices... :icon_cheers:

...and both the bread and the cheese are excellent! :icon_drool2: When you throw the quality beers into the mix, how can you go wrong??? :icon_cheers:

I was hurting enough after leaving you at The Scratch as it was... :rolleyes:

It was good, and then I wished I woke up the next day feeling the way I did when I went to bed... :ph34r:

Happy birthday Campbell - I'lll see if I can't get a beer to you on the crawl next week, but there are no promises! :rolleyes: Cheers mate! :beer:

It's an ongoing situation... ;)

Kicking on at The Caxton (shudder, though JS helped soften the blow), then followed by a Love & Rockets session that ended a 4am, followed then by a 7:30am start with a full day of meetings, then a gala ball/rum drinking session on Saturday night, followed by an after party/rum drinking session...
