The importance of remaining faithful to true friends

[shrub]

Poms have a splendid array of fine beers from all over this fair country including many of the brews mentioned in this thread. Anyone keen for a quiet and convivial evening at said pub to sample a few fine ales?

I'm thinking either early December one evening or a Saturday afternoon. I'll talk to Steve the proprietor and get him to lay on some nibbles and maybe even see if he can arrange for the lads from Three Boys to come down.

Give me some feedback on a good date and I'll put up an event.

Hell, many of the flats in my earlier years had furniture stamped ABC.

Fuck yeah, I had some I painted gloss black and stored my LP records in. Well stylish.

They went when SWMBO moved in, no idea why. Kept a lot of the records though.

I will bring my mate Rik who got choppered out of the Birdlings Flat area a couple of weeks ago. pea gravel on a corner = highside... ouch.

I'm sure we can find some dancing girls if we look hard enough, and after a few beers any girls qualifies. When?

Agree with this.

I missed the best Australian beer I've ever had: Little Creatures Pale Ale. Its FANTASTIC. I always buy it over there and when I see it here. sort of expensive here though.

It's not that bloody cheap over here where it's made, for that matter....Another local brewery, Feral, have just started bottling their "Hophead" - another excellent ale that'll give L.C a run for it's money, although the bottled version seems to have lost a little in comparison to the on-tap from the brewery!

Ahhhh....the parties to obtain that furniture used to be rather fun as well - I just wish I could remember them.......

I've just started into some home brewing. If you avoid the cheap-and-nasty kits and use the higher end, or extract brewing (still piece of piss) you can get some tasty beer still for a good coin!

A note with corona, store it in a dark place.

Clear bottles let in all the sun and UV light which make beer go off quick. Brown filter it the most, and green is..well...in between.

Most of my furniture and workshop storage for many years was in wooden boxes with ABC on them.

I finaly gave in and bequeathed my crates to my son when he moved out of home...nothing like passing on a family heirloom.

If you live in Wellington and like craft beers of all types The Malthouse is the place to go.

sounds like plan for a weekend with no kids...

.....we have a mutual friend, i see...and i just found that our local store has a few beers in stock....one being the coopers sparkling ale...not bad for being out in the country....

A fine and tasty drop and my six pack lasted very little time before my son and I were convincing my partner to go and get us some more.
