You might have to get yourself an Ipad mate, it's the latest thing in endless beer.

Virtual beer?  I prefer the real deal.

A Brewers game under the Elvis flag . . .



Tailgating with 20+ home brewers from Northern Illinois and Milwaukee in the parking lot of Miller Park . . .





And while the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team beat my beloved Cubs, the clear winner in the Home Brew department was . . . and Sid, Grummy, I was thinking about New Zealand and Australia all day yesterday ā€“ (and this morning). . . 



. . . well, ignore Joe Neumann ā€“ Iā€™m referring to the Galaxy hopped IPA on the far right.  Aussie developed, Kiwi grown.

With hops like that, why would anybody drink wine?

See, Troy we were all thinking that, but no-one was saying it.

reminds me of that great song that Macca wrote for the Brewthren,

Yeast today, all those bubbles are not far away,
Ive steeped the hops,let barley malt I say,
I think I'll cast the yeast today.

I can speak to the exceptional health and virtue of the young lady on the right, along with her ability to roll with a bad joke - after all, she's married to me.  But I also know the young lady on the left.  She's not humorless, but rest assured, if she caught wind of this conversation, she'd have your nads hanging from the rear view mirror of her Fiat.

So now that we're clear on this, it's the BEER we're talking about, right boys?

Quote from: Carol Hadfield
I have just had a phone call from Peter Noy and it is official that we have had to call off our Lake Gairdner event proposed for the 28th May - 1st June, the guys inspecting the lake have found too many inconsistencies in the lakes surface and are unable to get enough good salt to run an event.

Ha! It's sort of doubles the pain, you get disappointed twice in a year instead of once.

It was good of the club to try though, we will catch a break soon and blammo! 200mph!

It is a pity china has such stringent import laws, with the number of car accidents here and labour being cheap and no-one wanting to see a dent on their car, there is a growing workforce of excellent bodywork people here.

It would be worth taking a written off hail damage exotic, bring it here to fix and send home to sell...

Maybe it's a good place to have that aluminium streamliner body made...

We've got 8 months by my reckoning, Speedweek will be set earlier in 2013.
