Just got the program. BIG! Who's going and what do you think you will be doing event-wise? Also, good chance to organise some BA catch-ups?? Joel
Haven't seen the program yet - as I haven't been able to get to any of the places that have them already (and am not in industry). Certainly hoping that they will have some good events. Any sour events like last year?
Booked in for moondog dego (tues 21st), Penny Blue Sourfest (wed 22) & Abbey Collabby, Beer vs Pig (thurs 23), Josie Bones Lunch & Brooklyn Brewery Party (fri 24). Lemme know if anyone else is going to these events for a catch up!
Last minute decision to fly over for the GABS, wont be attending any other functions but plan on checking out the Garage Project tap takeover at the Alehouse Project, the Liberty beers at BrotherBurger. As I will be staying Carlton can anybody else recommend and other places worth a visit, beer and food included?
Both Pete and myself are flying over for the week so do say hi at the Alehouse Project night. We will also be knocking around the Taphouse on Tuesday and Wednesday. Josie Bones for lunch on Friday and at GABS as well. Cheers, Jos
Looking forward to meeting you at Alehouse and Josie Bones, Jos. I believe you have met Adam while he had his trip in NZ. Thanks to him, WA has been enjoying kegs of Pernacious Weed, amongst other great beers! Cheers Joel
Was down Tuesday for the Rainbow PoO event (was tops, food was great), how did everyone fare? Any news on the Gabs, good bad and ugly beers?
Great selection of beers on offer, here are my top 5: Gage Roads Aye Aye PA - Imperial BIPA aged on Scotch oak 8 Wired Merge Like A Zip - Imperial BIPA Thirsty Crow & William Bull Charlies Pitbull - Oak Aged American Stout Parrotdog Bloody Dingo - Imperial Red IPA Feral Barrique O Karma - Karma Citra fermented in French oak
Agree with the Merge Like a Zip. Yeastie Boys Golden Age of Bloodshed was also memorable. Outside of GABS: Liberty Summit IIPA Raven/Boneyard/Mash Crematorium Lagunitas IPA Mornington Imp Stout (amazing) Moondog / Rockwell Truffle Stout Brooklyn Elijah Wood Ghost Bottle Wig & Pen Gueuze Both Abbey Collaby beers Sure I missed mentioning many, may other great brews but memory was impaired at some points
