Good to see QLD's newest Brewing Group joining in, swap should be just what you guys need to counteract the effects.

Rather than start a new thread I'm dumping this informative & amusing link here because after all, the Courier-Mail is a Queensland newspaper.

Linky.

With a bit of planning & good luck my Oriental Tuckerbox (CIPA?) will become come a junior version to Pitstop Brewery's 'The Hop'. 8% & 323 IBU.

50g of oak chips soaking in 260ml of Coruba Rum will be added to a keg of Oatmeal Stout(chips'n'all). It will get to age for 2 and a bit months before being bottled for the swap.



:icon_chickcheers: Bring on the swap.

That happens every swap Winkle if you go too sleep early.

You could always 'do a Chappo' and have your wife come and take you back to the safety of your home. h34r:

Crikey TP that was some time ago, I actually do remember the Daily Telegraph, in fact my brother was a paper boy who sold the telegraph a the traffic lights outside of the Kuraby hotel back in the day when there was nothing there other than the pub and the Big Gun fruit shop.

Gavo

As an ex-Brisso Northside boy in the 60's & 70's Gavo I hardly ventured into Southside for fear I'd be swallowed up in it's immense stomach, consumed, acidated, digested, never, ever, to be seen again.
It's only since the advent of Ross's Great Beer Adventure that I've reluctantly sidetracked off the Pacific Highway (All Praise to Google Maps) & even then I leave a trail of unwinding string behind the beermobile to ensure my own safe return to civilisation.

News reports over the last decade or two indicate that venturing south of the Brisbane River is detrimental to one's safety, health & future brewing prospects. :lol:
LIKEWISE the very thought of venturing north of the Brisbane River & into the wilds of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland for a Christmas Swap seems to be enough (ATPT) to give most Southside brewers a bad attack of the hebejeebies & a double dose of the runs x by 2. :lol:

TP

PS --- It was the BRISBANE Telegraph Gavo old son. I also was a paperboy in my youth & good luck to your brother mate. Looking forward to our next beer together. :beer:

Back in the day... before we got invaded & overrun & when we could work out daylight saving based on QUEENSLAND ISSUES ONLY. <_<

Back in the day... before we got invaded & overrun & when we could work out daylight saving based on QUEENSLAND ISSUES ONLY. <_<

And the issues are (apart from the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles):

1. Fading Curtains

Many rural (and urban) families tend to close the curtains when they get home from work to keep out the hot sun, then open them again after the sun goes down to let more air in. Given day light savings gives you one additional hour in the evening after work, this increases the fading of curtains.

2. Cows giving less milk

Cows don't read clocks, so when they give their milk at 4am, each and every morning ready for the trucks to pick up by 4:30am to get into town for us to drink. When daylight savings starts the cow's 4am is now 3am and the cow gives less milk. That is the reason cows produce less milk in DLS is because they don't know about the change.

3. Killing children

The kids get out of school at around 3:10pm to (in many cases) walk home. This is fine as the core UV times are 10am to 2pm. Of course in daylight savings they are heading out in the peak UV period (which is now 11 am to 3pm) causing more UV issues. Hats, creams etc help a little but with 16 or 17 UV ratings the only real protection is to get inside. Sadly, they get run over by cars due to poor light conditions later on in the afternoon. This may not actually be the case.

That's very illuminating InCider... but what about our identity? Would we become the Daylight Savings Coast ... or the Sunshine/Twilight Coast?

Surely there's an easy three-step program(me) to solve these problems anyway:

1. Blinds don't fade

2. Free(sian) education for cows on how to read clocks / anticipate earlier arrival of milk tankers

3. Let the little buggers get run over to make room for the boat people.

 

[InCider]

Good points there Neighbour!

We shall rename ourselves from 'The Sunshine State' to the 'Draw the Curtains' state! Hopefully this will stop the sunshine loving Mexicans and Cockroaches from coming up and disturbing the nocturnal (and occasionally parochial!) Queenslanders.

I was remiss earlier in mentioning the danger to surfers - more surfing time = more shark attacks. Sun is to blame!

Brewers will also miss out on their hop harvest.... :lol:

Born & bred are we Incider? :lol:
No wonder there's a power supply problem in the Sunshine State when air conditioning is a MUST HAVE from Cape York to the border for the avarage *******.
Always welcome to have a beer with me in my non-air conditioned shack mate. :beer:

PS --- Unfortunately for your point of view Incider I (And every proper Queenslander) survived our traumatic childhood schooldays by just sweating a little which I suppose is hard to understand in this present day & age?
