The Wheatsheaf

[raven19]

Sounds good, Ravs...so I'm definitely in town Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights the 10th, 11th & 12th. Monday night is out, so I was thinking of getting an earlyish flight Sunday and having a Sunday arvi sesh, or does Tuesday night suit you guys better?

I would prefer Tuesday, however Sunday is also fine for me atm on the calender. Weekends mainly booked up renovating of late!

Surely you're ready for a beer or two by Sunday afternoon :icon_cheers:
Seems like there are a good few locals up for Sunday arvo, and Muckey finishes work the previous Friday. Hell, Butters doesn't start work until midnight Monday night so may even drag him along. :icon_drunk:
Nige

Edit:- Just got an email offering me 40% 0f $US12,000,000. This is gunna be a big night! :super:

Just got my itinerary from Amex travel, seems I'm not going to land in Adelaide until 18:55, which means I wouldn't be at the Wheaty until at least 7.30 pm... not sure if this is too late for you guys or what time the Wheaty closes Sunday night?

9.00pm closing on Sundays.
Maybe an ABC get together on Sunday arvo then those that can back up/not make it Sunday get together with Schooey on Tuesday night.

Are you suggesting the Wheaty for the Sunday & Tuesday Nige? My delicate finances won't be able to manage that, especially with a trip there the week before for locals night. I can probably get over on the Tuesday for a bit though.

If anyone is keen for some beers at my place on the Sunday then that could be done. There's no 9pm Sunday closing time at my place.

Yours might be a goer Hatchy, not far from the airport either.

Should I look into getting the Monday off work?

 

[schooey]

This is building up into some fun then...

Should I bring some hops or something? :unsure:

Only if you smoke something out of the ordinary
I think I better bottle some BlackIPA before the keg blows.

Can Schooey remember how to brew MANUALLY? h34r:

<_<... I can brew in a shoe with a tealight candle and handkerchief.....and still show Hatchy how to "Put some ******* hops in a beer"

well maybe not that extreme, but I still know what an esky looks like!

 

[Hatchy]

I had a look today & there is leave available for the Monday, how big is this likely to get?

If you could show me how to appropriately hop a beer that would be great Schooey. Phil & Kieren reckon they like hops but I've always found their beers to be terribly underhopped.

:unsure: ...maybe I have bitten off more than I can chew. I think I'll go stand in the corner with Glenn Cooper

So I have some local treats I shall bring along from Murray's and Hunter Beer Co and a few other things if I can manage to keep it under the 5L of carry on alcohol.

 

[Hatchy]

I'm not sure that the 5L limit is relevant for domestic flights. I brought about a carton back with me on the plane back from our honeymoon.

 

[raven19]

I'm not sure that the 5L limit is relevant for...

...visiting Hatchy's place! :lol:

<H1 style="LINE-HEIGHT: 10.5pt; MARGIN: 3.75pt 0cm 1.5pt">8 Wired "Hop Wired" & "Tall Poppy" on Tap @ The Wheaty</H1>
We reckon that 8 Wired are one of the best new wave Kiwi microbreweries producing high quality, full-flavoured, characterful ales that showcase NZ Hops; and we've landed a couple of their kegs!

8 WIRED BREWING is inspired by the "legendary Kiwi can-do mentality and fellow craft brewers who have dared to challenge the masses and show us all that beer is no longer "just beer"! 8 Wired brews are crafted by Sren Eriksen, a nomadic Danish brewer who has finally found permanent ground in Marlborough New Zealand. Sren brews out of Renaissance Brewery in Blenheim, whom he credits as "my closest ally, my friends, employers and generous lenders of brewing equipment!"

Hopwired IPA (7.3% ABV): "We're pretty sure HopWired is the first bottled new world India Pale Ale made with NZ grown pale ale malt and 100% unique NZ hops. We bet you'll find nothing else like it on the shelves. Although there's plenty of malty sweetness, this beer is all about the hops. But unlike an American IPA, which will mainly challenge you with grapefruity and pine-like flavours and aromas, the kiwi hops used in HopWired produce something more like a tropical punchbowl: Passion fruit, limes, oranges and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to name but a few. A local Marlborough winemaker even said it smelled like gooseberries... Gooseberries? When did you last actually smell a gooseberry?? Decide for yourself, or just enjoy it without further complication."

HopWired is made with a grist comprising predominantly Canterbury-grown pale ale malt and generous additions of three Kiwi hop varieties Pacific Jade, Motueka and, most obviously, Nelson Sauvin.

Tall Poppy IRA (7% ABV): "Last week we brewed a batch of a beer I have been dreaming about for months, a beer with big malt, big hops and big drinkability. It has the malt backbone of a big amber/red ale, almost scotch ale like and the hoppiness of an IPA. Consequently I call it an "India Red Ale" and the name is Tall Poppy. This time we are also swaying away from one of our original mantras about brewing solely with NZ hops. I just couldn't find a NZ combo that would work in this beer, without making it a red HopWired or a bigger version of Red Dwarf. So in the end I went with American Warrior, Amarillo, Simcoe and Columbus, and I'm really happy about the choice."

We tap Hopwired IPA from 5pm Friday March 25th (Tall Poppy IRA to follow).

On for as long as they last!

Should I look into getting the Monday off work?

Why not, I already have.............

This is building up into some fun then...

Should I bring some hops or something?

you can but only if you dont like pre-smoked

<_< ... I can brew in a shoe with a tealight candle and handkerchief.....and still show Hatchy how to "Put some ******* hops in a beer"

well maybe not that extreme, but I still know what an esky looks like!

brew in an old bag ??????? I think I may have already done that 1 night

I had a look today & there is leave available for the Monday, how big is this likely to get?

If you could show me how to appropriately hop a beer that would be great Schooey. Phil & Kieren reckon they like hops but I've always found their beers to be terribly underhopped.

not lighting them would be a good start........


seriously though, I'm up for either Hatchy's or the wheaty. It would be great to catch up with everyone

 

[schooey]

Are we still on for tomorrow night, guys? Should be off the plane at the airport by 1930 local time... Is the plan the Wheaty or Hatchy's? I'm easy either way and have a few local offerings that you can't get anymore for the trip.

If we are on for Hatchy's, can someone PM me the address... Hatchy maybe?

Looking forward to catching up with you guys again!
