What are you drinking 2024.

[foxy]

I like kangaroo stew, well chipolatas anyway.
And crocodile fricassee.
Had it up at Port Douglas.

I have been there many times and got married there so it has been a pilgrimage a few times. Crocodile, Emu, Water Buffalo, and Camel. Camel steaks are superb. I was there during winter staying at Cairns for a month best time to travel to FNQ.
But if you want a culinary holiday don't overlook Tasmania. Wines whiskey and seafood galore. Plus going back in time to the Jurassic Age.
Did you go for the pot and a bucket of prawns to see the feeding of the Grouper in Port Douglas? Personally, as a fisherman, I thought it was cruel

Apologies.

End of brew day reward, a cold IPA. I’m guessing that now it’s crystal clear, the keg is about to kick.

I’m on my Pirate Pale tonight. In the background is my current project (weather permitting). About 5 years ago I remodelled our garden and built some raised beds using concrete blocks - it turns out they are too absorbent so my render gets damp and then frost damaged. I’m now taking them down and rebuilding them using engineering bricks and waterproof(ish) mortar.

Lime mortar and blue bricks?
Interesting combination.

Round at my MIL's after work to do a few jobs and have my tea. Beef stew, mini roasties, carrots and a bottle of Wainwrights Gold - lovely !

Not lime mortar.

and we're off!
Venison stew in the oven, quad in the glass.
Time to start on the Trappe Quadrupel!
Yeup, it's a good'un.

Another glass of Buttery Chardonnay.

So much to discuss there...
Later.

Sublime, but I'm feeling the 10%.

I have a Schwarz conditioning at the moment - Schwarzbier showdown at homebrew club!

 

[531Man]

The third bottle........ took some time.
Got there in the end.
I didn't realise until reading the label,
It's a Dutch Trappist brewery quad.
You learn something every day.

Schwarzbier all round

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

The weather has taken a turn so rather than battle the wind and rain I’m taking advantage of a couple of bottles in the house left over from Christmas. This one is a bit of a surprise, I think I like it but the fruitiness might not be for everyone. I get plum, strawberry, floral, chocolate, and a little liquorice. My wife’s description was on a similar theme with rose water and strawberry chocolates.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Was in the man cave earlier dragging the old klarstein out and found 4 bottles of what I don’t know, I suspect a pale ale but jeez it is good

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Maybe my last before moving on to the whisky, this IPA is hopped with Amarillo, Mosaic, and Cascade. Nice compliment to my evening snack.

You're a cracker short of a plateful.
