Ohhhh, I'm actually on Annual leave and will be back home, from memory the missus is also on leave which means she can look after the demon child.

This could be my introduction to ISB.

[O'Henry]

Would you mind if I came along? I'm sure I could bring some poison homebrew for everyone to scoff at...

 

[barls]

A mate and I have been brewing with kits a fiar bit lately and want to make the switch to AG, but would like a few pros to show us how. Recon we could come along and make this a brew-day for the ISB?

I re-extend the offer of whatever goodies I can procure at this end of town and pack-mule over.

 

[Edgecliff Brewer]

Hi guys, I'm back.

I will probably be there on the 15th - I'll reconfirm closer to the day.

I got back home a couple of weeks ago after no beer since last year. I have been rapidly making up for it since. I passed by the Bridge Road Brewery in Beechworth and met Ben Kraus. They to a great beer and pizza night if you are down that way. The beers are excellent. My pick is the porter as the best I have ever tasted. The APA and IPA are fantastic too. I'll bring some along to the brew day for taste testing.

Further along the rail trail in N Vic we stopped in Bright. We got there too late to visit the brewery so went to the local pub instead to have dinner. It was a bit of your chicken parmigiana and chips style of pub but I asked them if they stocked the local brew. The barman kind of responded with disgust that they didn't but I noticed that they had James Squire Porter on tap - so I ordered one. I sat down and took a sip....sour! I didn't think that JS had shifted the style to a lambic since I was away so I went back to the barman and asked him to taste it. He gave me a bottle of porter instead. This was totally lifeless and oxidised - confirmed by the use-by date being sometime in 2008. I gave up in defeat.

Looking forward to catching up.
