Wow, what a crazy week. I slept like a little lamb lastnight.

T'was a great night everyone... great people, great beers and no hangover to speak of.

no hangover here but had a ball putting faces to names. also got.great feed back on my braggot

Did you guys actually drink?!

I'm prolly lucky to get the lift back home, wouldn't have made it otherwise. My head fukin is hurting bad. Great ppl last night, awesome beer.

I assume you hit the BABB table? I was sober until 11:30, next thing i know its midnight and im posing for pictures spread out ontop of the babbs table. :blink:

What the hell did they put in those Belgians?!?

Saturday morning was pretty fun, didnt sober up until around lunchtime and i did a little bit of 'redecorating' at parliament stations Japanese garden. :icon_vomit:

Crazy week, now its time to avoid beer for awhile. At least until that vital organ in my body begins to resemble a liver.

I remember drinking all three saisons, the Russian imperial from westgate, the braggot and the amazing Berliner pils. Well, that's until I went and tried the orange stuff and the hoc orange stuff and all the Belgians at the table next to them, memory is rather foggy from there on.

I'm giving myself the fresh ground coffee treatment today to let my senses recover, after all, tomorrow is Monday!

I'll be sure to give parliament a wide berth, thnx you sure it. Was parliament, the place was next to flagstaff?!

Thanks to all involved both in organising and attending for yet another absolutely brilliant experience!

quite a bit ask the boys about the braggot pours they just keeped bigger towards the end of.the nite. i know i had at least 9 braggots plus most of the belgians

That Braggot was pretty damn awesome Barls.
Rhubarb Lambic, I still don't get how you picked up that much flavour in 3 weeks.
Red things from the board, all were good, and the Rye IPA.
Leatherwood Honey minus the improvised Randall...noice !
Buggy porter, flanders ale and stuff I don't mention, whilst chatting to a Weiz guy.
Who drank all the eis, not me, but I had a crack. Beautiful. When concentrating a beer like that you concentrate the flaws, but that beer had none, not a fusuel to be found. Listening to the BN obviously pays off.
Orange stuff from BABBS... ***** ! Come back next time with something more sour

Loved it all. Great conference. Next time I might even try to get some of my own beers either to the competition or that AABC championship thing they were talking about on Saturday night

 

[jayse]

back in Adelaide and feeling so tired it hurts, almost hurts as much as S.A being beaten by QLD at aabc :blink:
Wonderfully impressive several days in Melbourne, cheers to everyone.

What a massive weekend! Well done to the organisers, this was a fantastically run conference full of all sorts of goodies. I am finding it hard to get back into real life now. It was great meeting so many fellow brewers too.

Cheers

The response for club night this year was brilliant. Everyone got behind it. After all we couldn't let WA have it all their own way this time

The best thing about the winners (ICB) was the plug and play randalls. simply awesome. Ive soo got to get some of those jars and try this. it looks like the simplest randall setup you can use. and couple that with some watertight under minimal pressure cable glands and you're onto a winner.

When i get some time i'll upload some pics. I really wanted to try the Star Anise randalled Saison. The cumquat via the saison was delicious.

Great work ThirstyBoy!

:icon_chickcheers:

 

[brettprevans]

the icb beer on NO2 was also pretty bloody nice. cant remember for the life of me what it was though. i cant remembeer what the randalls looked liek so yeah put some pics up.
