AHB Articles: Vic X-mas In July 2010 Case Swap

[Cocko]

Great night! :-| (:-| = deadpan!)


A massive thanks to Fents!

 

[manticle]

and here i was thinking thats just the alcohol talking!

so, who's game enough to start the tasting thread tonight?! h34r: Considering ive had reflux all day i doubt i'll be going anywhere near my beers

Waiting for everyone to update with whether or not their beer is ready now.

 

[WarmBeer]

Did anybody know what happened to Zebba's swap beers? I don't have one in the beers I took home, and don't remember seeing a #2 batch out on the floor. I thought Leigh was bringing it along for him?

Bump.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

 

[manticle]

Must have been the guy in charge of the swapping.

Just went out to the shed and checked - I have a #2 Zebba marked on one of the lids. Are you short a bottle warmbeer? (ie 26 bottles instead of 27) or has a label fallen off?

Did beerdingo end up swapping?

Who wrote their label in red texta (mine is a blurred red dot now)?

Has fourstar actually seen a goat naked?

And who burnt my shoes?

I also have a bottle that says either OLMS or5W70 on the lid. Quite faint, black texta. I can do a process of elimination but I'd rather just drink the things.

Bugger! I only got 26.

Ah well, it was only Zebba's beer I missed out on. His brewing skills are on par with his case swap drinking abilities, i.e. non-existent

 

[manticle]

Sorry my stuff up - just recounted - should be 26 total.

Zebba's is probably there with an absent sticker.

That, I am assuming, would be Moonshine's Oatmeal Liquorice Molasses Stout

:icon_cheers:

 

[manticle]

You just made sense in my head.

 

[moonshine]

yep thats the one Oatmeal Liqurice Molasses Stout. Was drinking alright on the night of the swap but i'd prob give it a few more weeks.
also i seem to have ended up with 2 no.20's ?

 

[Cocko]

Better than I was doing last night!

 

[Siborg]

Where's the tasting tasting thread? I'm drinking manticles ESB right now. My nose says "no" but my taste buds say "more"

 

[manticle]

you are a sick bloke siborg. i can't even fathom the idea of beer right now.

 

[Siborg]

Well I didn't drink as much as I'd have liked last night. I ate too much, and so I couldn't fit enough beer in. I was feelin kinda crook, but felt sober. It sucked. Just sipping away at some fine ESB courtesy of mr. Manticle. I had a "beer" today at the footy, but it may as well have been beer flavored soda water. I felt I had to try some decent beer from last night and seeing that manticles ESB didn't need chilling, I thought I'd give that a go.

 

[Wolfy]

Forgot to distribute wolfy's chinook flowers with the cubes.

Following Hutch's instructions, I dry hopped the (2nd batch of) cubes with a handful of the open packet of 'c' hop pellets, I assume the same ones that went into the kettle.

Not sure how you missed out on Zebba's, I didn't even pack my beer and have a #2 in the crate!

 

[beerDingo]

Thanks Fents (and Rach) for hosting a great case swap! Good to put faces with usernames, and had a great time!
Thanks for sharing the cab WW/Wardy/Moonshine. I remember getting home, but not actualy walking in the house! Thanks also to Manticle/Hutch/rest who did a great job brewing(allowing me to slack off, and get shite faced)!

Fents does have a working toilet, you know.

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[therook]

Hahaha looks like shenanigans. I got hit with a bad case of the squirts after eating sashimi friday night and didn't think I'd brave going to a case swap with that threat lingering.

Well done fents (and all those who helped make it happen)

Q

p.s. rook you look relatively well behaved in all those photo's what happened

I was rather good Q, but very messy on the inside.

I was in BIG trouble when i woke up at 3.00am to take a piss and realised some PRICK had locked the bedroom door and had taken the door knobs with them.
panic really settled in, do i try and piss through the fly wire screen or pissed down the ducted heating vent............I really cant remember....
