nadrum I was over there tonight after work. My mate who was meant to come with me piked at the last minute, so I flew solo.

16 beers tasted in just under an hour.....and only one that I wouldn't drink again (for now anyway).

Pretty good deal though, $20 for 20 tasting tokens, 99% of the stuff there most people could get a handle on taste wise. Me likey lots

BenH, I too went solo and managed to try 20 in 1 1/2 hours.

There was a pilsner that had too much flavour going on for my liking and a dark bock that was too strong for my palate but very enjoyable overall and helped me to savour and appreciate different types and flavours.

Well worth the $20

about half a wine glass were the size of the samples, pretty good night i must say, went with a mate and was pretty hammered by the end so only really got to properly taste about 10 heh then off to the young and jackson for some naked ale then back home for some HB life is good
