Too much hassle.

Okay - you've convinced me.

"if that's O.K." FFS. Headbutt or glass him and it all becomes believable.

Yeah, you've gotta remember Glasgow isn't all of Scotland

Whisky, not Whiskey.

Nice catch. Picky bloody Scots about distilled grains. There are many more millions of people who disagree but they don't really speak English either.

Could you please name the exceptions? I might visit.

The whole country is as grumpy as I am from what I have seen.

My skull is enormous and German. Very much not advising the former.

Whilst I’m no Zinzan Brooke or Owen Finegan I’m no pinhead either. A clash of our Swedes would be devastating.

Not for your respective modelling careers though...

Anyway, back to beer......

30C here in western Sydney. Gagging for one of these but the boss man hasn't called time yet.

Bovidae

@NTA I used to drink a lot of that when I lived in the US. In a bottle, of course.

@antipodean I'm having the Sprocket now. It's fucking grunty. 7%!!!

for those on this side of the ditch, i finally found something decent that comes fro Canberra, this bad boy

Plenty of flavour, but still dangerously sessionable at that 5.7% mark. A real golden colour to it, hops but not overwhelmingly so. Can recommend. Will smash.

Bought a 4 pack of this just now. Its ace and definitely sessionable, aside from the price..

Kilkenny tonight

It's got a widget

For those looking for other good brews from Canberra, there's also a good red IPA

Instead of buying a $10 can of unfiltered (wow it's hazy!) overpriced hop juice last night I went straight for the hard stuff

Fuck there's some rubbish masquerading as beer around at the moment.

I kinda like unfiltered hop juice though ... turns out hops are as addictive as actual cannabis

My gripe is that it's a cheat to cover for a lack of brewing abilities in a lot of cases.
Make up for lack of mouthfeel by not filtering. Cover for malt/hop balance by just overhopping with tropical flavour bombs.
It's the cheap Sav Blanc of beers IMO.

Done well it has merits but fuck forking out stupid money to search for the really good ones.

Garage Project Hazy Daze, nice drop, hoppy but nice fruity flavour
Behemoth Tango & Cash Hazy Hop Buddies, hoppier than above, not quite as smooth

Bovidae

I had some Good George Passionfruit Hazy IPA on tap this afternoon. One of the better Hazy ales I've had.
