You had best move quickly, I'm working my way smoothly through the initial stock.

The DC Brau IPA was the pick of my tastes.

Nice one. I was in Harrisonburg and Williamsburg on my holiday, had quite a few from Starr Hill. Very jealous of you living there, I loved it.

It's $18 a 4 pack apparently, ouch, and is going out the door faster then those places lucky enough to have it yet can get it in. The IBF is tapping it for growlers on Sunday and they have free tastings Saturday arvo' - guess where I'll be.....?

Got myself a 6 pack of these the other day. Recommended at Dan Murphy's and I thought i would take a punt.

Glad I did they were blinking marvelous. Had the second one with a slice of lemon and some ice which topped it off nicely.

Not a huge fan of IPA but Little Creatures Rogers is a personal favorite of mine.

It's good to see you taking this seriously HT. No point mucking about mate.
A few people I know are not that keen on the 5am but I bloody love it.
For some reason it reminds me of De Koninck.

Ha ha. Thanks; I had some good work related news this week so it is a little treat-to-me.

Yes, I really like 5AM Saint and for me it works well really chilled and with some sunny weather. I can see where you're coming from with the De Koninck reference, slighty fruity and malty. As an aside I live near a Belgian bar run by a lovely excentric chap called Bart and he has De Koninck on tap.

That's nice..... but staggering distance might be preferable

A slice of lemon and some ice - lordy, each to their own I guess.

 

[spig100963]

Look out for a brewery called Burning Sky, the brewer from Dark Star has moved there.

Wouldn't do it with any other beer but I just thought it might work......and it did. What can I say I am a maverek.

The man that had sex with a goat, does anyone know what he drinks ? I wonder if it might spice up my libido .... and NO not with goats before you lot kick off
