Fresh hop day today in Auckland. 5 pubs, fresh hop beers, a bus. I'd call it a pub crawl, but that doesn't sound classy enough.
Tempted to report on the ratio of full beards to women, but will just drink with my mates instead
It won't fill the bitter ball of disappointment the Blues leave in me, but it'll help Beervana had an astonishing amount of decent women to perve at last year. I’m hoping Brew Day follows suit.

@voodoo lol MN5 is going to lose his shit
Not really a wide enough selection for my palette, very limited choices
Perhaps he meant the Tuis lurking far right corner?
Oh right, as usual I didn’t read the post.
To an Australian Tui probably is a craft beer to be fair, after all it does say East India Pale Ale on the bottle.

Fuck, that infuriates me no end.
I assume that the addition of "East" means they're allowed to avoid actual definitions. But when you think about the meaning/etymology of IPA - surely an EIPA would have even MORE hops/booze - as it would be the farthest point in India to travel to.
Fuck Tui. Fuck it right up its arse and every other orifice. Tui angers me so much that I have actually developed an irrational hatred of the eponymous bird - despite it actually being an handsome and estimable bird. Fuck Tui.Typed before above rant esclated:
Likewise - a Greene King "IPA" they started producing just before I left the UK - with an ABV of around 3.5%. I'd like to say that was the reason I left the UK. -

Just spent a long weekend with my best mate in Melbourne. Obviously with COVID we haven't caught up in 18 months but worse, his Mum passed away in the middle of the 2nd Melbourne lockdown so I couldn't get down there to give him some support. I decided to drive there and back in case something happened with the borders and I could bolt for the NSW border if needed. What I didn't take into account when making that plans was that I was likely going to be pretty pissed most of the time.
He's been into his craft beers for only a couple of years but is getting better with them and his taste in Whisky runs to the heavily peated and iodine flavours.
Since it was a pretty meaningful catch up, went and got a few decent beers and whiskies. Also took a few (6) whiskies down from my collection.
A better view of the whiskies
The Bruichladdich Octomore 10.3 and the Ardbeg Ardbog were the two special bottles I got just for the occasion. The Highland Park Valknut was his contribution.
A really special weekend but damn I feel exhausted. 4 days of non-stop drinking including a trip to the wineries of the Yarra Valley and a beer crawl visiting 2 Brothers, Boat Rocker, Wolf of the Willows and Dainton.

Australia actually has genuine craft beers. I just haven't found them yet, I seem surrounded by baby-whiskered hoppy hipster imitations.. -

Shit yeah. Someone told me they don't allow it in NSW because it creates ... uh .... (checks notes) more ... pollution?

@stockcar86 Lion Red in a cold glass out of a 750ml bottle tastes great!
Had some Tuatara Hefeweizen today, unsure if I had had it before, but is a nice drop, especially in that it isnt pushing the strong flavours some try to do now, just clean and subtle.

Met the old man for a few beers tonight, had the McLeods Pale ale which was simply outstanding, that plus the chilli Pilsner, jeepers those guys know how to make good beer. Unfortunately cos I was driving I finished with a Garage Project Fugazi ( 2.2% ). I shoulda just had some H2O, what’s the old line about sex in a canoe ?
Like all other low alcohol beers it’s just a massive waste of time.

Sex in a canoe is sure to start a row? Someone is going to get wet? Don't go up shit creek without a paddle first? Don't venture out on the open without trying my Eskimo roll? Anybody seen my spray skirt?
