Have been waiting for this for some time but there are not many brewers signed up to show there craft.

The Australian Hotel Web site has only 3 or 4 and I've tasted all of them already.

I almost certainly won't be able to, Ross, but our club (ISB) is having a brew day on the 20th which you are more than welcome to come along to (especially if you bring the hops ). We'll be brewing a few litres of beer and hoping we make more than we drink.

Why's it a bummer? Some of us don't mind travelling up to Sydney quite often... 5 days a week for me. I'll be doing everything necessary for the brownie points to go.

 

[Cortez The Killer]

I'm not a fan of travelling - I struggle with the 7 minute drive to work at the moment

I'll work on SWMBO and see what happens - she could go shopping and I'd have a designated driver for the trip back

Though SWMBO's brother is coming down from singleton this weekend and we are all heading to sydney for the day

SWMBO suggested we should head to the Lord Nelson to sample some of their beer

Can't complain about that!

Cheers

Got golf on Saturday and a christening on Sunday. Could always squeeze it in on Saturday afternoon/night.

Does anyone know what time it normally finishes?

What day are you going in Jimi?

 

[Muggus]

Sounds very tempting for an option on the Sunday arvo. Surely it must be a busy day for the folks at the Australian considering the joint isn't all too big.

 

[kabooby]

They just had this featured on "Sunrise" sampling soem of the beers. Looks like it would be fun

I'll be there Sunday with the brother in law. I could be tempted to do a Sat arvo too ... if it runs late enough?

 

[BOG]

I withdraw my origional comments Ross.

The flash screen on their web site was not up at the time of my origional post. It had only a few participants listed at that time.

I'll be there...

G'day Ross,

Looking forward to trying something different.

Sorry I didn't see your post sooner,
Pete

The brother in law is a little, shall we say, under the thumb, so I've done all arrangements based on what "I reckon" he would enjoy. If his missus pulls rank I'll be working on getting through all the drinking vouchers myself.

Incidently does anyone know how generous the "sample"/serving glasses are that you get?

 

[Linz]

I'll be there on sunday

Ditto to the above....Mell and I will be there Sunday..dont finish till about 8pm on the Sat, and drinking in a railway uniform dont get good publicity lately(bloddy contractors ruining it for the rest of us!!"
