mouthwatering NickB!!

Kind regards to all swappers, big ups to your wonderfully gracious host Von Winkle, event organisers/ contributors and not forgetting world's top swap maestro.
Sadly I am unable to make this incredible event as we await expected news of Spousie's first grandchild's arrival any day, not to mention us now living over a hundred miles away on the Sunny Coast. There's also a small matter of brief course of alcohol- incompatible drugs ATM- it's all just one great big conspiracy to eliminate fun.
Anyway, I am sure it is going to be a compleat hoot, while you'll all look forward to bringing a really sore head and queasy tummy to breakfast in the morning (I hope you all brought swimming costumes, otherwise IIRC chez Winkle standing orders stipulate starkers).

So talking to a lad at work who has attended these previously I should wander on down as it's really close to my place (im in gearside st). I'll attend without case swapping and can help with food requirements winkle. Let me know what you need me to bring.

I'm close too just up off Dargie. Love to come to this but forum looks really quiet at mo. :-/

 

[Screamadelica]

Haven't seen Screamadelica for a while but everyone else seems to have been active lately so we should get close to a full swap :super:

[Liam_snorkel]

Morning fellas

 

[menoetes]

Morning (Oh my head) Gents... what an awesome night... great seeing y'all again and meeting some of you lads I haven't met before.

I really enjoyed a whole bunch of the beers on offer and jeebus but there were some great sours. Time to get myself into some Brett brewing methinks.

 

[lukiferj]

What a night. Big thanks to Mr and Mrs Winkle for hosting again. Cheers to everyone for good times and good beers. Nice to meet any new faces and catch up with old ones. Highlights were many but The Two Metre tall sours (Cheers Pete), Anthony's lambic, Perry's acerola tarwhe, berlinner weisse and Martin's hop juice were some of my favourites of the night.

 

[Parks]

Big thumbs up to the venue as per every time you host Mr and Mrs Winkle. I think Liam's mild was my surprise favourite on tap with the Berliner Weisse a close second.

Great night!

Tasting Thread started.

Please add your ready to drink date and I'll update the main post.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Parks that dark mild was Lukifer's

 

[Liam_snorkel]

highlight of the night was watching Stefan chase Lukifer around with his pants at his ankles.
