Well I am sober now, so I will try to keep the H for D substitutions down to a minimum.
Thanks Les (and I have written out 100 times I must not post whilst pissed)
Just want to say thanks for a great afternoon; the people that came made it a top day.
Special thanks to Shawn for bringing the beer, its a long drive and time away from your family on your day off, the effort was appreciated, as was the beer.
Murrays is producing some of the finest Craft beer in Australia, I for one am looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with next.
Tim from Jagged Reef went above and beyond; not only was the food excellent, it was beautifully matched to the beer. Its great to see a restaurant supporting Craft Brewers and anyone that looked in the fridge behind the bar will know that Tim is a real beer head.
So it was a bit of a surprise that Tim chose to open his stash of Murrays Anniversary Ale 2; that last round was complementary. Tim said that Saturday arvo was the best fun he has had since he opened the restaurant, so he chose to spread some extra joy around, a big thankyou for that.
I dont want to say much more except that we as a brewing community in the Hunter have been lucky to receive so much support from industry professionals, Luke and now Keith from Potters have been unstinting in their support.
Shawn has always been more than just a friend he has given his time to help get many new brewers started and is always willing to help us all make better beer.
Tim has to be added to the list.
Just remember that these guys need our support to, so spread the word.
Good beer good food and good company thats what living is all about.
