2010 Ahb Sydney Pub Crawl

[dgilks]

And there was some great variety too. I'm sure a few of our group had plenty more than me but I did surprise myself just a little when I took a look at the complete list of what I had.

 

[Gulpa]

I also wonder, Gulpa how are you, how was the extra BBQ? Me and barls had kentucky fried rat instead.

I though I posted yesterday but must have hit the wrong button. Thanks for the concern guys :icon_cheers: . Arrived home safely after going the long way home and taking a bit of a snooze on the train. Ill have to admit I was feeling a bit dusty yesterday - those damn barley wines :unsure: . Bit dissappointed with the peking duck. It should have been better.

Had a great day/evening and looking forward to the next one.

cheers
Andrew.

Syd,

there are a couple of brews there I've never heard of before!! care to share details of the following for those who couldn't make it:

Porridge with raisins and honey
Lamb roll
Artichoke Pizza + chips
Peking duck very enjoyable
KFC while waiting for bus

Which brewery makes em? Any ideas how they got that sort of flavour into a brew (specialty malts? or chinese hops?) Can we buy em from Dan Murphy's? LOL

Sorry I couldn't make it. Sounds like it was a top day!

Well I had a fantastic day also thanks to all who were there to enjoy the fun with me. I also woke up feeling well, must have been the food I consumed, the waters inbetween and sticking to 1/2 pints for the most part like a lightweight that I am.

Gulpa, good to see you made it home safe, after your efforts in exiting the taxi

I'd write a list of what I drank, but I'm sure I'd forget a few, I believe I was at 2L when I left the lowenbrau....

No worries, glad you made it safe.

I thought the duck was pretty good, never having had it before. It was a seafood restaurant after all

I am sure that the Samuel Smith Stout at the end would be a good base recipe to start to experiment with oatmeal and raisins in a recipe Phil. They were left over from a mash went wrong (I think the temp from the microwave got too high), would have been a shame to see them wasted.

Everyone knows a good lamb roll goes hand in hand with high alcohol consumption, had to live up to cultural expectations.

I am sure I read something on AHB about potato beer, the artichoke may add too much vegetal aroma though, best to leave that out.

Well I am sure the Chinese hops would be a great place to start for the Peking duck.

My next brew may include 11 secret herbs and spices.

See you in a few weeks mate.

I'd write a list of what I drank, but I'm sure I'd forget a few, I believe I was at 2L when I left the lowenbrau....

That's why I kept a list, which you among others ridiculed me for

I decided to list my whole day rather than just the beers I drank.
