Dogger doesn't seem to post here anymore, although he still appears regularly on Brodies Castle forum.

You know you're a HB'er when....

You check out bottles by the roadside and consider taking them home for a cleanup/reuse....

In my defense it was a longie....

I scan the bins around my golf course every time I play. I score a longie about once a fortnight. Just cleaned up a VB longie.
I thought golfers were classy people, but obviously that's not the case judging by the crap they drink going around the course.
I have now revised my opinion, and have concluded that Home / Craft Brewers are among the most sophisticated people on earth.

I have picked up quite a few longies from the roadside. You just have to make sure the opening is intact so that they'll seal properly, and clean the hell out of them!

I sort of did this on Sunday....mmm The James Squire Porter is nice, it just lacks the punch of a dark beer.

Done that too, I didn't pick it up, but I thought about it. It was the Brown Paper Bag that put me off

What actually happens, he goes on these uncontrollable jags, and then goes into the Dry Out Ward for a couple of weeks.
He always turns up sooner or later even if it is white as a ghost, a 4 week whisker growth and as jittery as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Now, if you don`t mind me saying, and I`m sure you will, but you`re saying about "classy people"?
How classy does it look ratting thru rubbish bins for empty bottles on the course?

No offence , but that is so funny

It's people like that who will save this planet, classy or not.

A noble thought.
But you don`t think people trawling thru rubbish for empty beer bottles are doing it to help save the planet,do you?
They`re doing it because they don`t want to spend the money on new ones. When they`ve collected enough, they`ll stop.
The planet needs a bit bigger fix than refilling beer bottles,but I suppose anything is better than nothing.

Or... as in my 'friends' case *ahem*... where you scarily approximate the gap left by a woman with homebrewing...

You mean the gap between left and right?
