Birthday Drinks

[wee stu]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

And you too Batz

My birthday started a little early with a brew day at my place on Saturday. Thanks to everyone from the miniflocs, and the odd ittinerant floc, who turned up. I think, at its height, we had 11 brewers assembled to help with the brew. Because of (or maybe despite) that, everything went pretty smoothly.

I had a great time, even if I did get a bit stressed at times with so many more experienced, and knowledgable, brewers around my ramshackle brury. Hopefully the rest of you had a good time too.

I have to extend a special thanks to GMK who laboured away in the background, assembling my mash tun for me. It looks like a work of art, Kenny. I can't wait til the first test run, although it may be a fortnight away. I hope the daddy cool finds a worthy new home, that too was a great little tun. You were entitled to more gratitude on the day than a soaking from the hose , funny though it might have been :lol: .

Jaz - The Goblinator best bitter is gurgling away very happily. Missed gravity by a couple of points, but volume was spot on. I'm sure she will be a grouse beer. Should be ready for the next gathering at Boots.

Special thanks also to Anthonymac, who was brave enough to put on a second brew day in the evening. I am looking forward to that smokin' ale eagerly.

Then the family chimed in today. All in all a great birthday weekend :super:

awrabest, stu

Cheers guys, had a brilliant day!

Toured the Cantillon brewery in the morning, and had a good long chat with Jean Van Roy about lambic whilst sampling faro and young lambic both from the barrel!

Visited Mort Subite Cafe in the afternoon, for some Faro, Blanche Wit (lambic blended with witbier) and Peche (I thought it was rubbish but the girlie liked it).

In t'Spinnokke for dinner, all three courses cooked in/with beer! And served with beer of course!

Delerium to top the night off! (2000+ beer "menu")

I'll post some pics when the gallery is back up

Awesome. Now that is a birthday celebration.
What is your though on Faro ? I've read about it but never had a chance to try it.
