We’ve had a great response to the small brewers beer festival ticket competition.

[Drum roll please]

The winners are:

    A #27
    devils_advocate
    Micro-brewed beer is the one and only psuedo-elitist hipster indulgence that I allow myself. Please feed my smug sense of self-satisfaction.

    B) #16
    Ezy
    I need to convince my mate that not all Australian beer is crap.

    C) #13

    free ticket: then I don’t have to buy my husband a birthday present.

    D) #2
    RiotFrog
    Free ticket: Beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer.

Congratulations guys and girls.

Someone should be getting in touch with you soon about the logistics.

If you’ve missed out it’s not too late to get a ticket.

Don’t know about special buses but the 981 goes to and from the Botanic Gardens on Saturdays. Luckily a friend’s wife is doing the driving for us.

Cheers. We may well need a “special” bus by the time we’re done there.

Oh wow. This is awesome 🙂 Thanks RiotAct!

Hopefully these sorts of festivals will continue around the country to give the smaller and more passionate breweres the recognition they deserve. Australian beer is, by my standards, well below par. We have settled for mass produced brews like the Carltons, Crownies and *shudder* VB’s.

On a recent 3 month stint around the west coast of the States, I sampled a huge variety of beers. All of which were consistently impressive. I didn’t even delve into the ever popular IPA’s over there as I find them too intense for my palette.

Hopefully sampling the beers over the weekend will bring back some memories of some of the beers I tried overseas.

CHEERS! Have a great weekend people!

Don’t know about special buses but the 981 goes to and from the Botanic Gardens on Saturdays. Luckily a friend’s wife is doing the driving for us.

Wow, I’ve never one anything before. Is this where I give my acceptance speech?

Anyone know if they are putting on any buses for this shindig from Civic like they were when it was planned for Mt Stromlo?

I know buses to the ANU/walking/riding the bike I don’t own are all options many Rioters will enjoy pointing out to me, but I really just want to know if there are any special buses planned to go to the Gardens – a simple yes/no answer would be great….

But maybe I’m asking a bit much, so flame away and tell me I live up to my screen name. And then answer my question please.

Thanks in advance.
