so much for going home after the Lowenbrau. At least U went home after the Squire brewhouse (I hope).

Yeah, some dude with a long goatee managed to talk me in to going to the redoak and james squire...

Someone bought me a beer at squires, thanks for that!. Managed to get the 'flu from sharing beers! Thanks everyone for a great night, thanks to Gerard for organising the venues. I dont think i tugged to many hairs out of your goatee Seth (who was very good natured about it and didn't offer a punch in the mouth!)

Still can't work out why those two girls at the Belgian enjoying a 'Bush' didn't roll over laughing with my joke

We dont have to wait until next year do we? Its gotta be a half yearly event doesn't it?

(P.S. Dont worry PoMo, i'm working on that gut)

I thought I followed you to the Redoak and Squires. I don't remember much convincing being involved.

I didn't give u the flu, coz I don't have it. I'm not blamin' anyone but myself for my chafed dry lips.

I don't think that u got any hair from my chin, either, but I seem to recall that I strongly suggested that you settle down.

Great day out, though.

So when are we going to see a few reviews of the beers & establishments that you enjoyed?

[PostModern]

I could review just about every beer I drank that night (and those I tasted of other people's) but it would take ages. So many beers.

Still getting over the Red Oak. People raved about that place, but I only tasted one decent beer there (the $15 Baltic Porter, which was nice but a little out of style, not sweet or strong enough) the rest I thought were pretty ordinary, at best.

Boozy, what happened to you on the way home? The rest of us found our way to Town Hall, but you never came out of the building you dived into, nor caught us up...

To everyone that I scammed cigarettes and cigars off, Thanks, and please don't let me if I try that next time.

Linz, good news about Mel.

At the Lord Nelson I tried all the beers that they brewed on site and my favourite I would have to say was the "Old Admiral" dark malty beer with a slightly sweet yet roasted finish 6%av.
Thanks for organising the tour Gerard as well as the roof at the Australian! At which I had the Gauge Roads and LCPA on tap tasted great and very fresh Id never been to this place and was surprised by how skinny it was we're lucky we had the roof. We then headed to the Lowenbrau where I tried the Franziskaner Dunkel and Mango Weizen, we discussed how they got such a pronounced mango flavour into the beer and concluded thats its probably mango extract both beers we're beautiful, love this venue with its authentic German atmosphere and waitresses. By this stage I am losing track of what beers I have had, but from here we went to the heritage Belgian where I consumed a Goulden Carolous, gorgeous beer and hard to get from anywhere else but here so I savoured each mouthful, then I had a 500ml Hoegaarden, love those big glasses! Was a bit disappointed they wouldnt let us sit at one of the large tables unless we bought a meal, the place was practically empty, didnt matter I suppose. We decided to skip the Bavarian Beer Cafe (or most of us did) as apparently it had very similar beers to the Lowenbrau (I wouldnt know never been to the Bavarian) and headed to redoak and onto the squire, cant remember the names of the beers I tried at the last two places but I remember enjoying both places none the less. :beer: and then all of a sudden in the blink of an eye (which must have been ~10hrs) I woke up at home in bed!

 

[Linz]

Hopsta,

With the mango weizen, they fill the glass with the weizen then top up with mango juice/puree....breakfast beer for sure.!

The flu finally took its toll on me after the Belgian joint and I had to bail, Hopsta I'm suprised you could even make it to the Squires after the 1/2 litre Hoey.
I just love getting on it with a bunch of fellow brewers its always especially fun with the AHB guys.
I can't comment too much on the tastes as my tasting apparatus was malfunctioning due to the flu but the Nelson beers were all cloudy..
The smokey beer they now have at the Lowenbrau is much smokier than the Steinbeir they used to serve, too smokey for my taste

 

[Linz]

Mike,

the reason those beers were 'smokier' than usual was ,if its the same as HBW(aka gary) was drinking....they were rauchbier(smoked beers) not the steinbeir that he was raving on about(must have been the schnapps)

Someone was bemoaning "that" fact at the bar. Was advised that the Steinbier was in the fridge next to the Rauchbier, which was the "authentic" Aechte Schlenkerla Rauchbier".

Not the beer he was expecting maybe, but nevertheless a legendary beer.

Wish I'd been there when they were ordering. Would've tried to talk 'em into Weizen...b4 I advised that the Steinbier was also available. :lol:

Ross... what happened to your photographic evidence of mass slaughter of beer? I love seeing pics of me with my eyes rolling back! (I was blinking, honestly, I said so at the time your honour!)

PoMo, I think I left solo, after arguing with another venue for relief they eventually pointed me in the direction of public water closet.

Annual or half that? 12 months is such a long time!
