SE QLD Xmas-in-28th of June 2014

[Beersuit]

What's with all these Toowoomba pikers.. It's not that far

I think they all get wobbly legs from the change in altitude and can't stand up after 5pm. At least that's usually my problem.

 

[leahy268]

That sound like a damn fine excuse for wobbly legs at a beer swap.. Might have to use that one..

 

[angus_grant]

My excuse will be the lower quality air and lowering of intelligence when crossing north over the river

 

[manson81]

If you're not on the swap list (pretty sure you're not) then just bring your keg and glass! There's likely to be a heap of kegs there this year looking at attendance numbers (20+perhaps), so I'm sure you won't go dry. I'll even shout you a beer

Those of us in the swap will bring 21 bottles of our finest, and each swapper will leave with one bottle of each other's beers...

Cheers

Ahhh ok cool, that makes sense!

 

[lukiferj]

Is the swap this weekend? Better brew my beer for the swap tonight then :lol:

Have we got a definite list of swappers yet?

 

[Parks]

Everyone on the list is confirmed - 21 swappers

 

[lukiferj]

Woo hoo!

 

[angus_grant]

Sweet. 7 spare DW's for drinking Saturday night. Better put them in the fridge tonight... And then somehow avoid opening the fridge until Saturday lunch time for packing straight into esky.

I was explaining the swap to my wife and I explained that all I do is one batch of beer, and I get 21 different beers back. For free. How awesome is that??? She looked very unexcited...... pffft, chicks...

:super: :kooi: :beer:

 

[angus_grant]

Each person in the swap writes their number (I'm no# 7 in this one) on each bottle of their contribution. Then Parks surfs on them and some magic happens you end up with one of everyone else's beer

After those formalities are taken care of, everyone responsibly imbibes in an ale or two and teleports to tomorrow.

I just thought I'd quote Liam's explanation of how the swap works. I imagine (and confirmed by a couple of previous attendees) that it is a frighteningly accurate description of the night.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

don't forget to bring your bag pipes, Angus.

 

[angus_grant]

Still undecided about bringing them. They are freaking noisy and I am rubbish. And I've no time to practice between now and then.

But why the hell not. Play them in the afternoon when I am "somewhat" sober and it can't annoy the neighbours too much....

I am a sucker for peer pressure sometimes. Although there is no chance I am wearing a ***** costume!

 

[Liam_snorkel]

you don't need to!

 

[angus_grant]

well played sir!

*******!

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Just get naked when you play the bagpipes

[NickB]

Now don't forget folks, if you can spare some change I will have a donation box out for the RSPCA on Sat....All hops from my keg were supplied by Stone and Wood so I'd like to give a little back!


Cheers
