Small brewers beer festival in the Botanic Gardens

Jethro said :

How big is a sample… like a taster size (say a 30ml shot) or more of a half pint size?

If you’re getting 10 half pints included in the entry that seems reasonable. If it’s 10 shots of beer, less reasonable.

My first thought was that quibbling over the included beers was petty … but this is a really good point. If I fatted up my $$ and got 10 shotties, I’d be, well, shirty. And it’s not beyond the realm of possibilities.

Anyone got any actual knowledge?

LSWCHP will be there! Ooops…LSWCHP realises he’s started to refer to himself in the third person…

Sounds very familiar to the Brindabella Beer Festival that was planned to happen at Scope late last year. Regardless, I’ll be making my way there for some tasty treats.

My understanding is that it’s the same festival, moved and renamed.

Tickets booked and paid for 🙂 Now to tell the wife I’m going…

What, doesn’t she like beer? What a strange lady…

Sadly, after nearly 20 years together, I am still yet to convince her of the liquid gorgeousness that is the amber (pale straw to opaque black) nectar.

Still, more beer for me 🙂

I was going to exhibit some of my beers there, but I’m six foot two tall.

Well bend over then, silly…

I can’t see how that is expensive…

You can pay for me then money bags.

Maybe if you were like “I love beer, I wish I could afford to go”
not “I hate fun and don’t have money”

I love beer, I wish I could afford to go

Beer costs money Hank.

You organise the free beer festival and we’ll all be sure to attend.

That truly would be magical, could you imagine… I would lose my shoes and dignity in the first 20 minutes

Excellent! It’s just a leisurely bike ride on the bike-paths away for certain people. Much better than Stromlo.
