Vic Xmas In July 2008 Case Swap

[Fents]

Fents, I'm planning on bringing a keg (Munich Helles), got a pluto gun on it. Just need serving gas. Is there room in the fridge for it?

cheers,
Tim

*think i can fit three 19L kegs in the fridge.

If not we'll just make another ice bath for it and we have soda stream bottles setup so its allllll good. cant fricken wait to taste that one tho, my first munich helles! BOH!

Bring this shit on - this time tomoz we should all be feeling a bit more relaxed (apart from poor mr sorter man )

 

[Fents]

There are gonna be a lot of new faces at this swap. Perhaps some stickers and a texta so that we can do the repulsive name tag thing.

Your name and your AHB nick - that way we will know who to chuck stubbies at and who to hug.... nah, hugs all round.

This will also save me at least the embarrassment of forgetting the names of people who I actually have met before.

Sorry to be so damn "mum" about it, but I'm terrible with names.

TB

its ok Mr mum you'll be fine. thanks to haze's i dont remember names either so we'll just have to man up (or mum up) and re introduce ourselves anyways. Like anyones gonna remember names anyway by 3pm.

and thats just before we install Fents new aircon in his wall for him.

I'll bring the chainsaw and the sledge hammer

Thirsty Rook

 

[Fents]

dont tempt me mate, i have a massive tree i need to get rid off in the school next door so it dosnt keep dropping shit in my gutters..'

hmmm, a chainsaw, 15 pissed blokes and one big tree...

 

[brettprevans]

sounds about right. it took 3 sober blokes and a chainsaw at my place (and we still nearly squashed someone). 15 blokes having turns with the chainsaw. sounds like fun (and a lot of fire wood for you fents)

 

[Barramundi]

I think we'll put mine and cummins kegs on my two taps at the bar.

Barra - if you have a pluto gun or a picnic tap (peels borrowed mine, he'll bring it if he remembers) and a soda stream bottle, bring it and we'll wack your keg in an ice bin and make it a portable i think. sound ok?

damn i hope the rain holds off.

no probs mate will bring whats required to make it operational as a portable unit minus the ice bin ...

fents how big is your back yard i might be looking for somewhere to roll out my swag after all this festivity ....

 

[AUHEAMIC]

[brettprevans]

Fents...if you go through your special dry hopped beer, Ill have to drop by at some stage to make a shared batch with you.

 

[Wardhog]

[Fents]

[Barramundi]

[Wardhog]

A quick nap and everything's rosy again. Cheers Peels and Annette for the lift (both ways), and cheers Fents for a great day. Apologies to Barramundi for flicking hot marinade at him, but other than that I don't think I disgraced myself.
Nice to put some faces to names, good to meet you all.

Fents, you've sold me on that special dry-hopped beer - it was delicious.

 

[Hutch]

Cheers Fents - awesome day, and a great host.
Ripped off that I had to leave so early, and missed out on the special dry-hopped beer (thought I could smell something...)
Anyway, thought I'd post a few photos before I forget - Quite early in the day, so nothing to embarrass anyone.

Great meeting you all, and looking forward to getting through this case!

Hutch.
