Dry July 09

[petesbrew]

Man, I'm really missing beer at the moment.
I just love the flavour.
Does that make me an alcoholic???

Tell me about it...

Not missing the alcohol. Been able to pour a wine for my wife and not be tempted to have a sip (although the glass of SSB I got her at the pub today smelt beautiful).
But geez, I just miss the flavour of a really good cold, hoppy beer.

One made by oneself especially.

Can't believe I am reading this at 5:43am whilst heating up 4 slices of Hawaiian pizza washed down with an IPA and still weighing in at 74kg.......
Hmmmm...Crazy work hours are good for something lol.

On Saturday night I cashed in a Golden Ticket a workmate bought for me. Wisely spent it with SWMBO.
My Saison was first cab off the ranks, and OMG... Like a thousand angels dancing on my tongue.
Went down way too quickly. Followed that with my Medieval Amber. And then my Dark Ale with a dvd.
Felt a bit tipsy, but damn those beers were gorgeous.

I had a Leffe Radieuse in the fridge, but that's waiting for the 1st August.
I'm all set for the last 2 weeks now.

Last week to go... anyone else who's still in the game.

Cashed another ticket in on Saturday for a mate's Bucks night. 1.5L at the Lowenbrau, up for a Fat Yak & LCPA at the Australian, then back to the Buck's Local at Botany for a reschs draught... that last one was actually a bit of a palate cleanser.

Not me,
The Rocks Brewery Red Ale at the Clarendon in Surry Hills was just too tempting last week.

My workmate who inspired us to do it has so far "cashed in a golden ticket" every weekend.
Classic.

Still, feeling pretty good for it, but I need to go empty some bottles next month.

Some of those swap beers might go off, please drop them off at my house :chug:

 

[Renegade]

Despite all best intentions, July has been one of the heaviest months for booze consumption for ages. I think I've woken up eight times this month moaning 'Im never drinking again, and this time I mean it".

Maybe a dry August for me ! Nah, stuff it.
