[65bellett]

Boys I have just arrived back from work after a very big week and have gone to open my hotmail to get the route notes and apparently hotmail is having issues. Could some one please call or text on 0437 006 1670 with the address. If no body calls keep an eye out for the bloke sitting out side the Nike shop drinking warm bitter out of Coopers pet bottles.

 

[Wardhog]

Well guys, enjoy. I'll try to have a Scotch Ale for all of you.

[wambesi]

I gather it went off?!
I'm stuck in the motel here in Wagga, but to try and feel like I was there I went and got a 6 pack of LCPA and tried a Chimay Blue for the first time...still not the same as being there

 

[65bellett]

What a night! What a session. Cheers Spills for your hospitality. Thats about all I can muster time for bed.

 

[Quintrex]

Fantastic day yesterday guys,

It was awesome to meet some new faces and try some fantastic beers.

I don't reckon I tasted a bad beer all day, and I got to try some really interesting beers using different hops, methods, ingredients.

Looking forward to trying the swap beers.

[AUHEAMIC]

Top day. Thanks spills for hosting the day, Biggups Fents for looking after me, special thanks to Miss (?) Fents for the ride to Spills, the lift home and putting up with three very happy case swappers on the way home. And finally thanks to all the swappers for making it the great day it was.

I have just finished a couple of APAs and have thrown the yeast (US05) at the case swap brew. I know I could have been more adventurous than US05 but I really wanted to taste BIAB case swap brew in all its glory, hence the neutral yeast.

 

[hairofthedog]

as peels said thanks spills for the venue & thanks mrs fents for transport it was a great day from what i can remember good to meet a great bunch of bloke who enjoy beer as much as i do & next time i think ill follow thirstys lead one beer one water

 

[Fents]

^^ hahaha biggups the wasted crew!

mad thanks to spillsy for the hosting. nice to meet loads of crew. Thirsty had the BIAB nailed, Spills on the food, i was put in charge of the case swap. That was way harder than i was expecting. Sorry if i buggerd anyones case up and thanks for all the help. I know i only ended up with 23 plus one of my own so if anyones missing a kolsch let me know.

Also i'd suggest chilling that kolsch down and drinking it now.

Rookstar you are a mad prick. Top work.

Was a wicked day, spewing we had to leave early, mad thanks to everyone involved.

Now which beer to drink!

Hi Hairofthedog... I hope you didn't put all the beers in the fridge! My contribution was only bottled on Thursday night. I'd be suggesting another week at least!

Hey swappers,
Thanks for pointing this out hairofthedog, and apologies for steeling your name.
I made my labels as a last-minute thing, and decided to call the brew "Hair of the Dog", as it sort of went with the name "Flying Dog APA".
Hopefully this does not cause any confusion, and that hairofthedog doesn't cop too much flack for the quality of my contribution :lol:

Sounds like you all had a cracking day - I'll make sure I can attend the next one :icon_cheers:
Spills, when suits you for us to come and collect swap cases?

Cheers,
Hutch (#17 - Ready to drink now, while it's young and fresh!)

my back, my head, arg, monday and i still feel worse for wear. left Spill's place feeling pretty happy and kept going when i got back home. must of been a lucky day 'cos i met two very lovely girls that night. Thanks heaps to Spills and everyone else for a ripper of a day. hope fents and hair of the dog made it home without copping it from the missus, they were both in fine form. looking foreward to the next swap and maybe a meetup inbetween, brewery tour anyone?

cheers to a great day
