Wasn't tonsillitis was it Doc? I'd feel like crap if I coughed in the wrong direction at the Macca!

Nope. Lower intestines, so I'll let you off the hook.

Just stirring re no one coming to say hi - completely understand re life, kids etc. Been there and done that. Perhaps next time I am up I will give a little more notice.

It is always interesting to note how beer changes over time. I have been a long time fan and supporter of Coopers and also the Lord Nelson - their beers have undergone all sorts of changes over the years and I must say it has been a privilege to have been a part of it and a witness and drinker to it.

Doc hope you are better!

Hey Paul, sounds like the visit wasn't wasted. Would have been there myself, but I spent Mon/Tues layed up in bed trying to knock out a bug. Panedine Forte is a great thing.
I also missed the monthly Hills Brewers Guild meeting :angry:
Feeling pretty good now, and have a Whiskey tasting at work tomorrow night so all good :beerbang:

Doc

Doc - I hope you didn't have too much fun knocking one out in bed whilst a fellow AHBer was at the pub.

Just got home from another fine event at the Macca. Met up with a former AHB poster formerly of Qld and currently from WA... I don't think I have to name and shame him, but I will Good to meet you in person, Pat.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for a beer at lunch or after work tomorrow and you don't mind the flavour of fresh APA made with fresh Cascade hops, get down there. The Pale is the best I have ever tasted it. Awesome cascade presence. Makes LCPA taste like megalager.

Also in fine condition was the always-good Shwartz. The second and improved batch of the Bavarian Red is up too.

Anyway, if anyone is keen for a Friday beer, post back here and I might be persuaded to pop over again!

Great beers.

Good to meet you Doc and Keith for a couple over lunch.

The pale ale is vastly better than the first one i tried and i also really enjoyed the bavarian red.

Thanks for the good beers and the good conversations....I learnt a fair bit over an hour.

Cheers

Was just up at the Macquarie for lunch. Our work has chosen it for "the" place for farewells at the moment.

Enjoyed a wheat, and was pleased to see the Digger's Salute is still on tap, so had that too. A very nice beer indeed.
Back to work...

Hmmmm, didn't know that was still on offer.
I think I might have to duck up there on Friday lunch and have a quiet couple.

If anyone else is interested, post back.

I was there on Friday night and the barmaid said that the round of Diggers' Salute I bought were the last schooners from the last keg. Took a phone photo and everything So, there's another keg! I might be tempted to pop in for a Friday liquid lunch seeing it's still going.

 

[petesbrew]

Yeah I'm easy too,
12 - 1pm ish.

 

[oldbugman]

It's the last keg of the diggers, but sam said today that she is brewing another batch of it.
