There's a few announcements to make about MM shirts, pre-bookings for the taint kit session, upcoming events, etc. Mostly just enjoying the Gertrude beers and sharing and tasting a few of our own!

 

[going down a hill]

I cant make it, got family business. Put me down for the taint kit sessions please. Have a good one fellas!

 

[Forever Wort]

This is the first meeting I can walk to and it's bucketing down with rain, that'd be right!

Ah well, a pint at home before I leave should help ... :blink:

Tossing up wether to drive or not… Will largely depend on the availability of a lift from a mate, as I have "pressies" to bring for Luke.

 

[Vanners]

I won't be able to make it tonight. Doing it tough watching the football in Brazil. Sunny and 25c here in Sao Paulo.

Put me down for a taint session too.

 

[TimT]

Being Melbourne, I looked out of my window just then and it's all blue skies.

When I used to work in the city I always thought it wise to carry a bag umbrella for most of autumn, winter, and spring because of these sort of shenanigans.

Bureau of Meteorology just says 'few showers'. They're hedging their bets as usual....

 

[Forever Wort]

Rain since 9AM: 3mm.

Whimpers and whines from my outside-left puppy since 9AM: countless.

 

[TimT]

For the life of me I can't understand why one of our cats wants to go out in this weather.

 

[going down a hill]

Its because cats are crazy.

 

[BreadMurderer]

Well I'll be braving this sh*te weather on my push bike with a stop off at Great Northern on the way for a steak. I'll also have a few bottles of my Dark Island clone for people to try. :beerbang:

 

[fletcher]

see you guys there!! woo.

 

[beermeupscotty]

Aye. See y'all there. Got some Belgian Tripel to bring along.

Are we in a particular room or area?

 

[TimT]

I think we got an upstairs room?

 

[beermeupscotty]

Mmm, thought I remembered hearing that - couldn't find the source though.

EDIT: "For anyone joining us at next week's club meeting, the Gertrude Hotel are ok with us bringing our own brews, as we have a private room." - Justin

Not sure where said private room is but we'll find it...

 

[TimT]

I guess just rock up and bounce about the place until you run into some suitably disreputable-looking chaps.

 

[beermeupscotty]

Will do; unless I find some more appealing chaps prior (i.e. arseless).

 

[Forever Wort]

Just follow the most dapper dressed chaps and you'll be sure to find it.

Looking forward to the Belgian :icon_drool2:

 

[beermeupscotty]

Well. I should say it's my first Belgian and has only been aging for about 4 weeks (I'm told these beers need more like 2+ months of aging). However, if I don't bring some tonight, I'd say it'd probably be gone before next meeting... :-/

 

[parktho]

Any problems with a new person coming along tonight?

Thomas.

 

[Wolfman]

Not at all. The more the merri er!

 

[Forever Wort]

Of course not my friend, the more the merrier.

(Edit: trademarked "Welcome new prospective members" pun, we are all drones of the MM hivemind)

 

[beermeupscotty]

Planning to pay my registration fee today. Would be swell (in a non-smack pack way) if those yeast sachets were still about...

 

[pomsaleius]

Heading home from work now. Pick up the kids from school aftercare. Drop off with the missus then walk, tram, walk. May be wet. Definitely thirsty when I get there.

 

[BreadMurderer]

Hey guys great meet-up last night, I'm feeling a bit rough this morning.

Pub had a great list on tap but so did our fellow brewers! Really happy with the response to my Dark Island clone, makes it even more worth while, BUT my favourite of the night was Plunkett's (correct?) DIPA, that was one TASTY beer.

Can't wait for the next meet-up with all these pale ale's being created. :beerbang:

 

[Forever Wort]

Hey guys great meet-up last night, I'm feeling a bit rough this morning.

Me too mate. I decided to hike it home at night's end with my ten kilograms of grain and extract. It felt surprisingly easy after so many pints. Left shoulder, right shoulder, left shoulder ...

Hey guys great meet-up last night, I'm feeling a bit rough this morning.

Kind of sucks that we have club night on a Tuesday.

 

[DU99]

How about a Sunday...

 

[Spiesy]

How about a Sunday...

How about a day where we don't have to work the next day, or at best, only have to work one day (i.e. Thu night).

Anyway...
