Some pubs in Adelaide have been open the last couple of years on Good Friday, right?

Surely they will be this year with us playing at Adelaide Oval that night.

I guess it depends on the allowed crowd capacity at AO being high enough to make it worth their while opening for it? Full capacity you'd think they would, if it's only half or less - would it still be viable for them if they're having to pay the penalty rates etc?

Yeah, but the key bit there is "at this stage". Given the way things have gone over the past 12 months, I won't be taking anything for granted until we're actually sitting there in our seats. And I imagine it would be difficult for the surrounding venues to plan ahead with much confidence either.

certainly is, would love to try the 25yo but a little pricey
700 for the bottle is steep. You could try a nip of it somewhere, but it would be a good $70 still. 😏
I had the 13yo released by that boutique-y whisky company. It was totally amazing. 😍

Bottoms aren't always milky like that, it's the best drinking ever though. Hard to leave when they're pouring like that.
I can't do it, at least not more than one or two Fills me up

Free Mismatch AFC stubby holder with each carton.

Of course it's a mid ale though, the 7th-12th of beers.

“During early conversations with Ewan, we discovered they have never developed a mid-strength ale before,” Silvers said.
“It felt like the perfect product for us as a Club to collaborate with them on."

The Crows 78 degree gin is where it’s at. Awesome label and a very good gin, can’t go wrong!

Is that a hint of apricot slice I taste? We drink a lot of gin but I really couldn't bring myself to buy a bottle with a football club logo. But then again, it might annoy the Port supporting missus, where did you say they were stocked?

The most worrying thing is you have a missus that goes for Port.
