And budding breasts.

Is that a lager or ale?

 

[Beerfish]

Is that a lager or ale?

It's a lawsuit

 

[Albertross]

Wasn't it that he said "if I reach under your skirt what am I going to feel?"

"Put your hand down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts"

 

[citizen-erased]

Have had it, it's pretty good

Lost me at passionfruit and citrus, but thats just personal taste.

Im more in the camp of stouts, porters, proper english ales (and west country cider) and german lagers.

"Light in body" is a very apt description for Essendon.

Gotta admit, i miss that logo.

Post #4729 just called..

Missed that

 

[Vindicater]

Oh, would you provide an example of a good one?

Depends on the beer style you like.

Personally my favourite beer at the moment is a dark fruited sour called "Measures up" from a brewery here in SA called Shapeshifter.

If I am looking at the more commercial beers I prefer the Pirate Life Ales.

This reminds me, I just found out a local steak joint does imported Pilsner Urquell on tap just around the corner from me.

I ordered a meat platter from them over COVID - went alright.

Haven't eaten in there yat, but is only a stones throw away from me too

 

[BomberFan355]

My favorite beer goes down the sink, straight on the Bundy thanks.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Thread is too big to read it all, I just click on the last page to see the latest.

I see we’ve all given up and are just discussing beer. I fully approve of this development.

 

[Milanista28]

Lore Update thread title please, it's a beer thread now.

 

[windyhill]

My name is Kevin and I drink red but only when it’s free.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

cannot fathom how dodo stays on if we are clearing house. Now is the time for a wholistic refresh.

he has had a fair wack of time to get the list right and has not delivered.

if he stays beyond 2022 i am almost sure he has photos of someone.

 

[citizen-erased]

Lore Update thread title please, it's a beer thread now.

now that we're talking important things, this country needs to accept we're doing beer wrong and the poms have it right.

his survival/removal will largely dictate my feelings towards this "reset"
