@MN5 my wife's going and doesn't have one
My other half has told me to stay at my house that night. Apparently I snore and fart lots after big beer sessions. I’m sure she’s imagining it.
Yeah fake news

Is Beervana worth it?
I haven't managed to find anybody else interested... boring fucks all now consider raising children to be more important than quaffing over-priced booze.
But... I'm more than willing to drink alone... just haven't seen much press around this thing, so wasn't sure if it's even worth that. -

Shockingly for a Wellingtonian who loves craft beer I’ve never actually been.

@nzzp I used to go years ago and even volunteered one year which was interesting.
I find for myself these days that I can only handle so much beer in public especially at craft strengths so I dint last long at these things. Those “tastes” soon add up.
Did one in hipster central brick lane in London and had to pull the plug early on and stumble home while I still could.
Saying that I agave ticjets to Beers at the Basin next week so I don’t really learn. -

@Crucial we live in a craft beer paradise. It's just sensational.
also, the beer sounds really interesting
Occasionally you come across an experiment that has really worked. This is one IMO.
I might order a few to put aside as I think they will age ok and plan a dish to go with -

We do but the UK is also up there, especially with using wild yeasts. Belgium has a modern bunch riffing of old styles. Amsterdam has big “underground “ craft area in the old factories across the river.
Copenhagen has the catalyst of Mikkeller which now brews in US as well.
Of course the US is awash with good craft beer. A couple of years ago I was in Colorado and tried about 3 dozen different local brews in a few days and hardly scratched the surface.
In fact it is some of the oldest brewing countries like Germany and Austria that have a pretty weak “craft” market, probably due to the brewing laws. -

@NTA that's quality, that's the ABs ATM black shirt but playing like the wallabies at heart.
As to the schooner glasses, Ozzie need to get some skills FFS. It's not that hard to carry 4 full sized UK pint glasses, let alone little wee light weight schooners!
-
@Machpants I can carry 4 schooners but what about when I send the wife to do it like normal?
P.S. pint glasses are wasted here in summer unless you're sitting inside
