[Hatchy]

I'm not sure how you could be thirsty after drinking all the tequila last night.

Hatchy,
Thanks for opening your house for the swap, it was good to put some names to faces.Its a shame i had to leave early, and my wife was very surprised i came home sober. Next time i will not double book. I left my chair there, and will give you a ring to pick up later.Phil, your beer through the Randell was awsome, can you post the recipe please.Again,thanks.

Regards Tony

After breakfast thoughts on last night,
Thank you to Hatchy for hosting a great event.
Even bigger thanks to Mrs Hatchy for having a load of drunkards in your home.
Goofinder- your first swap? Good to see you get a second wind after being asleep before dark.
Mayor of Mildura- I'd vote for you.
Awesome Fury- Value!
Kieron- Nice to meet you mate.
Dr Smurto- Good to see the handpump make an appearance. Ringburner Chicken hit the spot.
Boston- Yiros hit the spot before the drive home.
Maltyhops- There is evidence in this mans possession, good to have loads of photos of a swap, get them posted.
Raven19- Who the f*#k is Andrew Denton and what does he do with the rope?
TonyC and Phillip- Get organised guys, leaving a swap before dark isn't a good look.
Dan, muckey and butters- good to catch up again, good ploy muckey pretending his car is stuffed so butters had to do the driving keeping him in control. Mind you the prostate still made an appearance.
QB- Pretzel were tops.
Missing some I know, great crowd, loads of good beers although IPA's, randalls and other heavily hopped beers dominated.
With all the hoppy beers was it really necessary to add an ounce of flowers to your glasses? Or smoke the stuff?
Looking forward to the next swap and more Adelaide Community gatherings.
Cheers
Nige

Nige,
Point taken, but I had a family commitment i could not get out of, not without pain and suffering, so i came to swapand meet a few people.

Regards Tony

 

[Kieren]

What a great night and many great beers. Stand outs for me were Dan's bitter, both of Phil's but particularly the randalled 16 story drop, Smurto's hand pumped ale and Nige's great black IPA.

Great to catch up with a few familiar faces and meet some new ones.

Look forward to the next one.

PS - forgot to add on my swap beer label but mine is ready for consumption now and will drink better fresh, though it's aready been in the bottle for about 6 weeks.

Understood Tony, comment in jest only. Hope to see you at the next meetup.

fantastic night - many thanks to hatchy and Mrs Hatchy

Butters was extremely well behaved actually h34r:

good to catch up with familiar faces and meet a few new ones

and tasted some awesome beers

Smurto's (aka Wile E Coyote) beer engine got hammered and Phillip's randell - Whew - I'm still recovering from the hop hit. Seems beer isn't the only use for hops - now I know why so many people want to grow them :blink:

Cheers all round for a great night

 

[Hatchy]

I just found out where the ring burner got it's name from.

Thanks to whoever brought the jerky & cashews, they're going pretty well right now.

I reckon we could've come up with an excuse for you Tony, we'll come up with something next time.

 

[~MikE]

yeah, sorry i missed it guys, sounds like you had a good one though.

 

[Goofinder]

Goofinder- your first swap? Good to see you get a second wind after being asleep before dark.

Pretty sure you've got me confused for someone else, or at least I don't remember falling asleep... :icon_drunk:

Thanks to Hatchy and Mrs Hatchy for hosting and everyone else for turning out with their beer, was a good day.

My swap beer will need a bit longer to carb up as it has only been in the bottle for a few days.

Cheers,
Dan (Wild Elephant Brewery).
