Aww man, I can't remember the last meeting I was at, but it seems I am always interstate when it's on.
I will return... when I get the opportunity.

Sorry chaps, due to circumstances beyond my control I can't make it tonight (and I had a lift :angry: ).
I hand over the right to make inane statements like "Pretty dark for a lager" when judging Irish Reds, to Florian just for this month.
The battle of the milds should be a good one this me ting :icon_cheers: .

I can't make it again this month either. So I am drinking pints of my 2.9% mild in protest :angry: . After dinner its time to keg the 6.5% AIPA. Could get messy and end up kegging the 7% IPA.

Have fun fellas

Shit, looks like a quiet one then.....! Bummer guys, should be a good mini-comp tonight.

I'm lucky in that I just tell SWMBO "it's BABBs this Thursday, remember?", she shrugs, says OK, and off I go. She's a keeper

Catch you all at the July Swap then, I suppose!

Cheers

Keepers !!! Ive kept mine for 22 years. Probably because beer & Babbs comes 2nd. Oh well!I can still make beer without Babbs But a virile middle ager still needs... well, you know,.... a happy household.
Enjoy young fella.

Sorry, I won't be able to make it either. My wife is in Perth all week, so I can't leave my daughter at home alone while possibly risking to drink drive
Plus, I've got playgroup at my place tomorrow morning, so I have to prepare for a house full of young mums.

I hand over the privilege to Nick, but you have to report back at the swap how you went.

 

[NickB]

Umm, ok. My efforts will likely be...ummm...ok, maybe. Oh well, will take up the reigns I suppose!

 

[Parks]

Was a great meeting to attend last night. Some very tasty beer floating around.

I think it's time to dust off the old cheque book and join...

 

[Paul H]

Who won?

Cheers

[Parks]

Dave (I believe...)

 

[Bribie G]

Great meeting even though a lot of the usual suspects could't get there, including Ross with the flu. And as usual new guests rolling up " Been brewing for a few years now - just All Grain with my quintuple decoction full tower eight vessel steam powered brew plant.....". I don't know where these guys have been hiding but I sometimes think that BABBs and AHB are just the tip of some iceberg of underground brewing. :huh:

Pocket beers won with a Northern English Brown. Stouts and porters next month, better get my marga out B)

 

[bconnery]

Who won?

Cheers

Not Liam...
Hard to win when you select an excellent beer as not for points

:lol:
(ahem, sorry mate - what was it?)

 

[bconnery]

Liam had an excellent example of an Aussie Dark.
I think there was a 40 point Alt that had been selected as not for points too...

 

[NickB]

42 I believe, but unfortunately we were lumped with the beer he decided to 'blend into the bottle'... Ahem. 22.5 should show you how good it was. To paraphrase Bonj - 'shall I enter the beer that is pretty much to style, or the one where I go bam bam bam bam from a few taps and see what happens'.....


Sorry Liam, the one we judged 'weren't good'......

Cheers

 

[browndog]

It's all just a giggle in the end. My 1st place QABC aussie dark ended got smashed with about 20 pts. Its going up in a head to head with Liam's 42 pointer and a Tooheys Old in a 3 way blind tasting this week end to put things in perspective for both Liam and me.

cheers

[lczaban]

I'm guessing that's blind as in after the two of you have consumed a keg each before turning your attention to these beers...
