    Am I the only one picturing Mr Barls being stuck under his house the last 4 months?

    Cool, maybe after your Beervana trip we can tee up a time to open the series up.

    it actually took me that long to get under there. the motivating factor being i needed a couple of the bottles of sours for the state home brew comp.
    i keep them under there so i cant get to them easily and drink them.
    hopefully i have at least a 40 out of 50 point cherry lambic this year.

    definately will have to try to tee up a time to open them. did bring it out with me. theres also a couple of bottles of 2 down there as well, apart from the other usual bottles that are down there. its an impressive cellar just not very easy to get too. lets see chimay blue one bottle at least for the last 5 years, Murray's aniversery ale back to number 1 only missing 3, abstracts and fullers, wild things and a shit load of homebrewed lambics and sours.

    I know there are rumblings of an AA series 1-6 tasting coming. Not sure when though. Working on a tasting on 8 Sept.
    Would be keen to try the first year Wild thing again. Just have the 2010 version now.
    How far back do you go with the Fuller's stuff?

    not too far with the fullers only the one bottle at this stage, might try to pick up some more while im over there again
    the wild thing will have to wait till the wife is drinking again as its hers.

    lukie, it depends on how sour you like them the last batch of kriek is almost lou pepe sour its a pity i only did a small batch of it. just split the next one on to cherries and raspberries, it will be ready hopefully some time around march next year.

    The tasting hasn't happened yet, was going to get in touch with barls after Beervana, but haven't got around to it yet. Don't have AB:06 currently. Will let you know how it goes. Hoping to do this before Xmas along with a few other ideas in the works.

    If you can organise it on a weekend I can sort out the latest releases if you want to make it even bigger.

    Thanks David, weekends are pretty scarce, so it'd be tough. Will see, thanks for the offer

    Have a feeling AB:06 might still be at Camperdown Owen if you want me to check for you

    time hard to find at this end as well. with me loosing my job and the first born due in under the next month.
    its really hard. only brewed for myself once in over two weeks.
    still want to do this but would be looking closer to november at this stage.

    If the dates work, great. If not, we can organise another for you if you get up to Sydney. Got a few ideas in mind:slight_smile:

    I always find it easier to fit in a weeknight, but could do a weekend depending on clashes.
