Malthouse Tour

[Yob]

Lets just call something then..

DU99 has put forward the week of the 29 through 2nd so shall we say the Friday? (2nd November) 2:30 At the Malthouse (TBC of course)

Everyone likes a half day Fridays to take their wives to the doctor :lol:

I was hoping this was going to be on the weekend.
I may have to take a look at my ADO count to see if i can take one or half off.
Days off for me around the spring carnival are precious.

Is there somewhere semi-decent to eat/drink in Geelong after the tour? Else we'd be traveling back in/through peak-hour traffic - which is not my idea of fun.

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Unless the location is really important - I'd go to the Geelong plant. Much bigger, more modern and reflective of the equipment and techniques used these days. I mean, burnley isn't prehistoric or anything, but geelong is the main game and burnley is the sideshow for BB in this region. Nice guys at Burnley mind you.

Yob..i only suggested that week is because i am rostered off

 

[Yob]

as good a week as any mate.. as is the way with these things, some dates suit some better than others and always will... these things rarely if ever suit everyone.

Personally I will make the time for it... seen a million brewery's never seen a malting house :beerbang:

going to be a fair amount of :icon_drool2:

 

[going down a hill]

I'm out if it's during a school day. No getting around that one.
Cheers all the same.

Sorry mate, Taking Thistys advice Ive gone with the Geelong Plant which should have more on offer.

We have 2 drivers thus Far (Possibly 3) and will co-ordinate those sorts of things once numbers firm up. Can possibly pick you up on the way though?

 

[DU99]
