gday blokes
I am back on the o/s trip again, and seeings as I just wanted to put up a few posts to keep in touch with the boys (and save me PM'ing everyone) I have decided to put a little thread up so anyone interested can keep track of my shenanigans. I put it under the HAG club forum, cause most of the boys that will read my drivel will be from Newy. Any mods can feel free to relocate it (or even delete it!) if necessary.
There will be tales, and the odd beer review, though almost certainly with less detail than my last few trips worth of threads. maybe the odd pic, but nothing really OTT.
So, for those of ya's that didnt know, I am back in Canada with the mrs, and will also be heading to Bosnia. My sister gets married in sarajevo, and lara's brother gets married in the Gulf Islands (BC) 2 weeks later. Her brother just informed me that he has organised 2 kegs from one of my favourite breweries in the world (Phillips) for his wedding, so he is entrusting me to make sure that nobody effs with em. legend.
Pretty much as soon as we arrived in Vancouver, I caught a bus to brewery creek beer store, and picked up a few beers - actually 11. For the grand price of $120.
A Petrus Speciale and a Petrus Aged pale.
Brooklyn Brewery's Local 1 (9% tripel) $15, Monster Ale (10.1% barleywine) $4 and Hopfen Weisse - a combo from Schneider and Brooklyn, in which they dry hopped a weizenbock. $20 for a 750mL of 8.5%! Real expensive for here.
R&B brewings Auld Nick (6.5% winter warmer) and Anniversary Ale (8.2% barleywine)
Unibroue's 17th anniversary whatever it is (ruby coloured like a dubbel) at 10%
3 monts ($9)
And a beer called Blackfriars scottish ale at 7%
Oh, and a champagne beer called DueS $25
I daren't even guess what it would cost with all the backwards tax laws in Oz....

PS It was 26C here today. Just to rub it in.
