Vic Xmas In July Case Swap 2007

[Thirsty Boy]

I'd tip my hat to him as well, but I'm afraid to touch my own head, which still vaguely hurts after he got me rotten drunk last friday.

He doesn't want to "inflict" his beer on too many people, but the ******* didn't see any problem with pouring it down my throat till I nearly fell over.

He is just being overly fussy. His beers are plenty good.

He is also a top bloke for hosting a drop off and the swap sort. Assuming SWMBO doesn't have pre-existing plans for me on that day, I will drop in and lend a hand with the sorting etc. Can probably manage to bring a couple of extra beers along so the sorters and Spills can lubricate their work a little.

Ill be driving to Spills place so if you want to ride shotgun thats fine with me. The fridge is always well stocked if you want to drop off at my place. Either way suits me.

Happily, that particular event happened at the pub.

You're allowed back at our place any time, but it might be best to avoid the pub for a little while... h34r: :lol:

 

[vlbaby]

Peels,
I'm going to have to drop out of this swap. I don't think i've got the time atm to brew something up.
Sorry for the stuff around guys.

vl.

 

[SpillsMostOfIt]

If you're thinking of using the Central Area Drop Off Point (my place), you can leave your case any time between now and the day of the sort. Similarly, you can pick up your case any time in the week after the sort.

You cannot pick up your case before the sort. You cannot drop off your case after the sort and expect to get anything back.

If you want to do this, please give me a day or so notice to ensure I am around.

i was quite pissed by 8pm that night.

Heh. Me too. My Tap-A-Draft worked quite well, much to my wife's disgust.
BTW, All Amarillo Ale goes extremely well with a large plate of BBQ mustard ribs.

Looking forward to that beer you were making yesterday, if it's half as good as your coriander IPA, it'll be the highlight of the case.

Its all in the palate of the taster i guess

 

[Quintrex]

Would anyone be interested in doing a yeast starter swap on the Case Swap day?
I thought this might be a good opportunity to swap some good quality yeasts around.
I have a decent range (especially of belgian yeasts), would love to pick up some others?

Let me know interest levels and if interested we can discuss details.

[mark_m]

How are the numbers going? Room for one more?
I've got an Amarillo amber ale in the keg atm that is worth sharing.

Cheers
Mark
