They can stick it up their arse with the token system. It was loads better when you could sample as many as you wanted. Not that i am a complete pisshead, but i thought it was meant to be a festival, not a tease.

Lucky beer

Has anyone else tried this? I did, and boy did I piss with the lid down! Had it with a mate and both agreed to clean his sink with the rest of the bottle. Maybe it was just a bad bottle, but it tasted like weak toffee water with bubbles in it. Cool bottle though, but as we know, a bottle not a beer ...

I agree with Mr Magnay. This forum is shit now. I just want to trade information about brewing beer and value the input of Dogger and his similarly experienced ilk, and now I find I have to wade through 3 feet of bickering and petty bullshit from a bunch of wankers who are seemingly far more ...

I drive a Falcon wagon that has done 300000 km and is on gas, and it would not pull a sick man off a shithouse. But I love it. Before that I had an XF that had also done more miles than Sputnik, but it never let me down, and I loved that one too. Also have an old English sedan with all the fruit ...

I think I may have converted one of the blokes I work with to the wonderful world of Homebrew! This Stout has turned out fantastic, even though it is only 2 weeks in the bottle! I took one into work today and my mate could not believe it was HB. He brewed a bit in his younger days and thought it was ...

Well, I got greedy and cracked one open tonight. Jeesus! Nothing but coffee and dark bitter chocolate! Initial impression is to much chocolate malt, but you get used to it. Maybe 150grm next time, and there will be a next time! The colour is like sump oil and the head is not too great yet (too green ...

Guess I am a wanker then. I love both red and white, I collect and covet Single Malt Whisky, and of course beer of all kinds. You can shove Vodka right up your arse though, my wife is Russian and I made a c@#t of myself on it at a family do. Just thinking of it almost makes me fill my pants full of ...

Budejovicky Budvar

FINALLY got hold of some of this stuff, I had read about it in the reviews section of this site. Yes Oliver, it is very nice! Lovelyclean hoppy flavour and crisp finish. Actually prefer it to pilsner urquell, has a bit more malt. Was $15 a sixer in Carlton!

A Homebrewer can f@#k things up and just chalk it up to experience. A Craft brewer considers himself too experienced to f@#k up....

Can we remove registered posters?

It appears of late that this forum has been assailed by various mental defectives, in particular Mprilla. I think I speak for the majority of members that this shitstirrer should be removed somehow. I am not real savvy with computers, but is it possible? thank you...

My overly enthusiastic brother in law drank half of his last brew out of the fermenter! He and his 3 bottling mates made a real mess. All of the beer was gone within 2 weeks. Disgraceful tsk tsk
