Queensland Xmas Swap 2010 @ the BatCave

[geoff_tewierik]

Thanks to Batz and Julie for hosting a great event.

Just woke up from my nana nap, stupid bloody rooster killed any chance of a decent sleep.

The spare chair is Snows, we remembered it somewhere along the road home when the stuff in the back seat slid around, but it didn't sound the same as the trip up, turns out Snow was going to grab it as we were packing the car but someone was sitting in it and he didn't want to disturb them, so he forgot it.

BTW anyone who wants to drink bottle number 10 in the case swap, I suggest waiting a while, it needs to bottle condition, and if the flavour of the last one was anything to go by it comes into its own after three or more months in the bottle. In fact I will be holding off on drinking my spares until winter next year.

Cheers,

GT

That reminds me. My beer #18 (Choc porter) has been in the bottle 6 weeks now, should be ready to drink though a couple more weeks might suit it.

Do we have a final list of exactly what everyone brought along?

I remembered half-way home that we were going to have a chat about camera's Andrew, so maybe we can have a phone beer in the next couple of weeks. PM me your landline and let me know when's a good time. I have VOIP, so no probs about call cost.

_____________________________

That's the best I can do to identify the 14 bottles in the swap.

Geoff & Nick (10 & 11) could you please confirm that your contribution is what's listed above.

Whilst I'm here I'd like to give belated thanks To Jeff & Julie for another top-notch display of hospitality. Had an excellent night & as others have said, loved that hand pumped ale & the company was top notch as usual. :super:
Having a couple of quiet ones before tea & then an early night.

Hmm, sadly my mind wasn't functioning at all this morning, forgot our camera chat, forgot my soft esky with my Xmas pressy beers and almost forgot how to get home too.
What a night.

I'll PM you during the week Bonj, appreciate the help.

Bloody hell ... what do I drink tonight?

I feel like a kiddy in a sweet shop ... I mean I feel as if I was a child in a sweet shop h34r:

 

[bradsbrew]

Once again sorry I had to pull out last minute. Big thanks to Daz for getting my swap beers there. Did anyone have a crack at the sake?

BTW No.4 Bradsbrew Jamaican Rummy oak Oatmeal Stout was filled with the CPBF yesterday after months of conditioning and should be consumed NOW. I am not too confident with my skills in using the bottle filler and dont want it to be flat for you.

Cheers

My effort number 8 is actually a Belgian Xmas Ale 9.5% (spiced). Give it a few more weeks to knock off the rough edges.
