It's All About the Beer, Buddy

G'day everyone, and thanks for coming back to the blog!

Sorry about the delay in the blogs, but it may very well be a Mercury retrograde as everything I touch, electronically goes the way of the fishes lately. But let's get back into the beer, and how much we love it. Today, I'm investigating a wonderful beer, and a cousin to a previous review. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you...

#3 BrewDog Brewery

ELVIS JUICE

Grapefruit Infused IPA

Alc.Vol 6.5%

So, another BrewDog infusion has past by my palate, and this one has an unusual name, and an very spritely taste.

Elvis Juice..?

I'm talking about the Elvis Juice. I don't know if Elvis Presley actually LIKE Grapefruit, but he probably should have had more than he did. But maybe it is for Elvis Costello? The colour of the beer is almost a pure amber, and put up to the light, it's orange. Low fizz, which is good.

When I pop the cap, straight away, the aroma comes out of the bottle, full of grapefruit aroma. The colour is quite orange/amber, and the taste is full of that citrusy grapefruit flavour. 

I had a good swig of this, and it was almost offensive. There was just a tad too much citrus. I'm saying this, as I absolutely love citrus in my beers, but I have a feeling that not everyone is like me, and would prefer a lager or an ale over a radler or a citrus infused lager. But me being me, I like this beer. I do like the overtones of grapefruit. I am being biased of course

The Cap

And as it went, I was having a fish pie and salad for dinner, that has filled me up (especially with hot apple pie and custard for desserts! YUM!) and the Elvis Juice complimented it very very well, which really isn't surprising, because of the common mix of fish and lemon or lime and even at some times orange. I'm pretty sure someone out there has had fish on the BBQ with grapefruit. And if no-one has, I think it's about time to, and then grab this beer to compliment the fact.

On the bottle - BrewDog brew uncompromising and irreverent beer. (!) So the brewers are asking to ditch the mainstream and try one of their different beers which is "a mad last-ditch stand to create a beer that actually tastes of something"... My oh my...

But I like it. Not for everyone, but I do like it. 

Sight - 7.5 - I like orange, and there is not that much fizz, so that's a bonus for me, plus it's an Elvis

Smell - 7 - I like the citrusy aroma, but it may offend others

Taste - 6.5 - only because not everyone will like this infused bombshell

Emptied...

Feel - 7 - the swig was a great swig. I do like it. Not too watery and not too thick

Aftertaste - 7 - nice bitter aftertaste that goes well with the grapefruit

Pleasure - 6 - like it. But not as much as I thought I would

Ability - 6 - Would be a great seller in the hotter climates and would advise people to give it a go

Encore - 6 - I honestly don't think I could have too many of these. 

Reputable - 6 - Not yet well known.

Purchase - 5 - Haven't ever seen it before. I'm not sure I'd be out there buying it again, but would advise others to try it

Out of 10 I'll be giving it - a 6.5 out of 10

This is a great shot at an infusion beer, with an admirable shot at getting grapefruit in a solid IPA. But, honestly, this is not for everyone. But it is great with seafood, and great on a scorching hot day. To have a look, visit Brewdog.com.

Until next beer.

Cheers! And drink on!

Beer Bud

Another judged... another blogged!

It's All About the Beer, Buddy

Another judged... another blogged!

Hello again ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another blog! Today we are testing out an old favourite...

So without further ado...

The colour is amazing

2. Morland - "Old Crafty Hen" - Alc.Vol. 6.5%

I've had this one before. I had it about 5 days into London... Well... Essex really, which is not London, but from an Aussies point of view, it's one and the same

I've decided to have a go at Old Crafty Hen, before the more well known Old Speckled Hen, just because this beer is oak aged, and is a premium dark and malty bitter. I love the colour. It's a colour you don't get that much of in Oz (from now on Australia, or "Straya" will be known as Oz, simply because we live in a land just like the movie, and it was once a prison planet...), and through this Oak-Aged process, it comes with this rather beautiful colour

The only problem is that people usually have this at room temperature. Now as an Aussie, it's almost a cardinal sin to drink a beer at room temperature. But after drinking so many beers, and wines, and liqueurs, you know you have to drink as the locals do. So I had a go at this at room temp...

Emptied

NOT BAD... you can get a real toffee taste, which really matches the colour. I could get the dried fruit, raisiny taste, like Sunbeam raisins that we get in Oz. When you breath it in, you get a lovely oak taste, a little burnt maybe, but that just gives it taste. A great taste.

On the bottle - Aroma - Toffee and raisins; Taste - Toffee malt combined with dried fruit for a complex richness. And that complex richness does it wonders, which compliments the colour and the aroma perfectly. The Master Brewer at Morland has created a pure belter for the English drinkers whom like to have a room temp beer. And this beer is well respected, and consumed in quite large amounts. And it's amazing with cheese... Let me be the judge of that, eh?...

So... here I am with some Fully Matured Cheddar. A lovely sort actually... Grated, so I can get the full flavour with the beer...

Oh my lord!!!

I cannot believe the way this beer
is with cheese!!!! More please!!!

Get me more cheese - STAT!!! I have never quite experienced a beer that does this. It gives the cheese that red wine & cheese feel. You know, when you have a dinner party you're cooking for, and the guests are there, and you pull out the cheese for and appetizer (or even dessert), and you can't help but pop a bottle of red with some Camembert or Brie, and they just go so amazingly together...?

Well this beer does the same thing. I will now be drinking this on alternate dinner parties! It's totally marvelous! A big wow!

However, I'm not sure I could neck these all day. It is a quite robust beer. It's almost like a Belgian Monk beer - like a Duval or a Trappiste... And it's rather heavy. But rather low on fizz..

So... down to the nitty gritty...

• Sight - 7 - Very dark and foreboding, with the pour being very slow as a head can and will puff. Colour is marvelous
• Smell - 7 - I think it has a rather weak smell
• Taste - 8.5 - good drop, very good. And because of the taste with cheese rated very high
• Feel - 7.5 - thick, nice as it flows in the mouth
• Aftertaste - 7.5 - nice, the toffee and raisin flavours really stick out, but not unpleasantly
• Pleasure - 7 - I do like it, but it's not for everyone, as it is a room temp beer
• Ability - 7 - this is a vintage beer, so it's for the conneseirs 
• Encore - 7 - I could, but only in milder climes
• Reputable - 7 - it's well known in the U.K., so that's a pretty good beef
• Purchase - 7 - not the first time I've had it, but it seems unusually hard to get here in the U.K.

So... drum roll please...

Out of 10 I will be giving it  - 7.5 out of 10

This is certainly a well aged beer, but the fact that it goes with cheese (on of my favourite foods ever!), gives it the extra oomph that I like. I will be telling my mates to try this instead of a wine with cheese sometime soon.

Once again, please your input is needed and respected, so please put something down on here, and give your own reviews to this fine beer...

Until my next review on my tour around the world...

Cheers! And drink on!

Beer Bud

It's All About the Beer, Buddy

G'day all! How are you all? I hope you are well, and not nursing an amber fluid hangover...

Speaking of which, this is going to be part of my blog today. The "pro's and con's" of drinking the amber fluid, and maybe some helpful hints, some good remedies and some awful wives tales that we may have heard.

So, are there really any pro's about beer?

Well, yes. Absolutely.

I've discussed on one of my earlier pages that beer does help with a lot of things. It gives confidence (no-brainer!), it helps with heart conditions (or has been heard to!) and there is just a good taste to be had. 

I'll just quickly go over these again...

1 - it's great for heart disease

2 - makes your creativity come out and may help with solving problems

3 - it can prevent type 2 diabetes

4 - kind to your kidneys

5 - hydrates better than water after a workout

6 - confidence boost

7 - stout is known to make your eyesight better (no - not beer goggles!)

8 - lowers your blood pressure

9 - fights off infection

10 - may actually strengthen your bones.

BEERS!!!

Now let's have a quick look at the "con's", of not just beer, but it's main ingredient - alcohol.

1. Alcohol is known to establish and is linked to weight gain. Especially beer. Hence the term "beer belly" which, to all the male folk out there, a fair call. I mean, I remember my dad and grandfather fit and healthy. But after coming home after a long trip up north to the Kimberley or the Pilbara in far north Western Australia, my grandfather's stomach was getting larger. And finally when he retired, he did have what I thought was a beer belly. He did love his Emu Export and Swan Gold (Swan Gold is no longer made though - *sniff*). A bottle of beer has roughly about 150 calories to every bottle - roughly about 350ml. But being cheaper than wine or spirits, we drink it much more. It is the third highest liquid that we intake, after water and tea. Beer also has another side effect. Appetite. How many times have you ordered out for pizza after drinking, or gone for a kebab after a good dose of beer on a night out? This can cause the metabolization of food, and then the food can just turn into extra fat.

2. Alcohol can trigger negative things. Anxiety, mental disorders, abuse, aggression, depression and other such emotions, actions or feelings. It is known also to create new ones after over consumption, and caused disturbed sleep and impaired gross motor development - which comes from when females drink during pregnancy.

3. Alcohol is very well known to cause serious bodily harm and death. Drink driving, drunkenness, and other such things have had a devastating effect on many people's lives. We all know someone, or we know someone who's had someone in their lives taken from us, because of this. I've had a few mates taken from this earth because of drink driving. I also know and have heard of hundreds upon thousands of victims, not just in Australia or the United Kingdom and the United States, but the entire planet. And there is advertising and marketing everywhere to try and curb this relation. But some people just don't get it, or just don't care. And some people learn the very hard way. Let's just hope this slows down. It's a high hope in hell, but it is still hope.

4. Consuming alcohol has been found to attract mosquitoes, and mosquitoes transfer diseases. Beer drinkers have an increased risk for bites and exposure to mosquito borne illnesses like malaria and dengue fever. Over consumption also results in liver disease, and scarring of the liver. Beer contains ethanol too. which makes the liver create a carcinogen called acetaldehyde, which is associated with oral, gastric and breast cancer.

5. Dehydration. This is an absolute no-brainer. How many times have you woken up after drinking beer the night before, just dying for water? We have a natural antidiuretic hormone produced by our bodies. What beer does, it messes with this hormone, hence the often visits to the bathroom/toilet, releasing way too much water, so the body becomes dehydrated.

6. Gluten - most beers contain barley, and barley contains gluten. There are a large amount of people out there that are gluten intolerant. An extreme version of this is celiac disease, which makes the body attack the lining of the intestine (smaller). Thanks to the growing awareness of gluten free food and drink vendors, there are beers that are gluten free.

7. Lowers your blood sugar. Beer, can contribute to weight gain (as above) by interfering with blood sugar levels. Beer can stop your liver from converting our natural body sugars (glycogen) to glucose, which our liver releases it into our blood. Your blood sugar drops, your brain thinks you're hungry, and you keep eating, when you don't need to.

Now these 7 reasons, are big reasons why beer is not good for you. But beer is something that you should always drink in moderation (and so is ANY alcoholic drink!), so as the ads say...'

PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY 

And well. Enjoy your beer. Don't chug it down (too much!) or you'll really miss the reason us mere mortals drink beer in the first place! THE TASTE!!!

Now... I'll delve into the world of the hangover CURE...
I'm sure that we've all heard of, or have, our own way of preventing a hangover or "curing" one. So let's have a look at some that I've heard about, know about, and done myself!

Okay - here goes.

1. Line your stomach - well that's a smart way of doing things - thinking ahead - you'll go far mate! This has been known to slow down the rate of absorption into the stomach. A good thing to take into account.

2. Drink loads of water - drink a glass of water between every drink, you'll wake up and feel great. But, if you have had a LOT to drink, drinking water when waking up is only going to greaten the amount of liquid that the alcohol is in. Making you go more times to the toilet, and more dehydrated in the end.

3. Stock up on supplies - Painkillers (obviously) and the replacement of lost salts. Ibuprofen for your headaches (or aspirin) and lucozade or isotonic drinks that help replace what you've lost.

4. Berocca or Hairy Lemon - replacement capsules that you dissolve in water (water being the important part). Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't

5. The greasy breakfast - well, did you have that kebab on the way home? Did you eat pizza last night? If not, this is well known to help with a hangover, and depending on who you are, it may help. If I haven't eaten my kebab or pizza, a good ol' bacon and egg sandwich with barbecue sauce really does the trick for me. I swear by this one. But everyone is different, so try your own creation

6. Keep healthy. If you exercise most days, then you may have a healthy tolerance for the hangover. But I know athletes that are a "Cadbury Kid" (glass'n' a half), and they still wake up with a killer hangover. It really depends on how much you drink

7. Don't dance too much - "COME ON!!!" I can hear you cry - "this is when I pull out the killer moves!". But it does make sense. If you move too much, you'll dehydrate faster. But who doesn't want to dance when their tipsy?

8. Avoid mixing drinks, and with beer, that's a number one thing that some people shouldn't do. Once you change your poison, there's a pretty good chance you're gonna wake up with a killer hangover.

and now some unusual, and interesting cures...

9. Keep drinking - or "Hair of the Dog" - of course - if you keep drinking, you won't have a hangover - but this can be unhealthy for you, and others

10. Berocca (or Hairy Lemon/Alkaseltzer) with half a glass of orange juice, and lemonade. I've used this one, and it has worked.

11. Beer and cereal for breakfast - yes, this is an unusual combination, but I had beer and nutri grain once, and it must have been the malt in the cereal, but this one worked a treat. But, remember - everyone is different.

12. Sauna - now this one I'm not sure I'm going to try - I'd be dehydrated already - why try that? But apparently it works for some!

Now... some weird and wonderful ways people in different times and countries that have had hangover cures...

13. Rub a lemon in the armpit of your drinking arm - Puerto Rico

14. Deep fry and eat a canary - Ancient Rome

15. Drink Buffalo Milk - Namibia

16. Eating a pickled plum or apricot - Japan

17. Eat a raw, pickled herring wrapped around a piece of gherkin and onion - Germany

18. A bowl of thick cut french fries with chunks of Canadian cheese curd, smothered in savory gravy with fresh peppercorns - Canada 

19. Pizzle - Three words - Dried. Bull. Penis - Sicily

20. 13 black headed pins into the cork of the bottle that gave them the hangover - Haiti

21. A breakfast of sheep lungs and two owl eggs. - Ancient Greece

22. Bury yourself up to the neck in river sand - Ireland

23. Grind rhino horn into hot water and drink it - Vietnam

24. Pellet Tea - a tea made of rabbit droppings - U.S.A.

25. Two pickles eyeballs from a sheep - Mongolia

26. Raw eggs - Australia

27. Tripe soup (intestine soup!) - Turkey

28. Prairie Oyster - tomato juice with one raw egg, worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, tabasco sauce

29. Balut - Poached fertilized duck embryo; and finally

30. Sparrow droppings in Brandy - Hungary.

That comes to the end of this entry into my blog. If you have any other points to mention about the bad and good things about beer, or have a great hangover cure, please put them in the comments section below, and I'll publish them on a future blog! :)
Next time we will be reviewing another beer!

Until next time...

Cheers!

It's All About the Beer, Buddy

Well, by request, I have been asked to continue my blogging for the day! HA! How about that! I've been requested by a few people in my place of residence, to start up my blog during this lovely night and write something up! 

Life comes with some outstanding coincidences. How about this. And I have just met a wonderful lady whose name is Kriszti(na) from Budapest, Hungary, but she doesn't like the "NA" @ the end because to her it means "non-alcoholic" HA! What a great name. I have just found out that she used to work at AB InBev, which is the world's biggest brewer, as their marketing manager for the whole of Europe!  They brew brands like Stella Artois, Becks, Budweiser, Hoegaarden and a slew of others. What a person to bump into, eh?!?!

Well, I've had a few (I think about 7) and, I've had the great pleasure to have Kriszti show me soooo many sites such as tapintoyourbeer.com, and she's shown me where to go and what to see, and what to search for. And a few nice tips. It's just very coincidental that I am writing a beer blog and I have met such lovely, beer-knowledgeable people! 

Okay, after a quick learner tutorial by the lovely K, she has  told me that her favourite beer is Hoegaarden Rosee. I asked her why.

"I wouldn't say it's' my 100% favourite, but it's because it's fruity and tasty. Or if it's on another occasion, Corona with lime or Stella Artois"

http://hoegaarden.com/

http://www.stellaartois.com/en_gb/heritage.html

I also had another traveller here, who is a waitress in a local tavern called Hopmonk tavern in northern California. Her name is Hope and she is from Sebastopol. She is another wonderful lady and she is on her last 5 days on her 3 week United Kingdom holiday.

"Ok Hope, what's your favourite beer.

"My favourite beer is a local Californian beer brewed by Moonlight brewery. It's called Death and Taxes." Seriously, I love the name of this beer, and I already want one!

Her reason - "it's easy to drink but still yet flavourful. it's so dark and you wouldn't think it would be. Hints of coffee in the aftertaste.  Family planned business. Head brewer usually does the deliveries. I love beer and whiskey and this has got to be one of my all-time favourites"

Thankyou ladies. You are wonderful! (It's an awful photo, but Krisztina is on the left with Hope in front of her!)

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to a local, who works with me in Oxford. He does piercing for a living, and he works also at the best backpackers in the United Kingdom, Central Backpackers in Oxford. He's a great bloke and loves his Doc Martens! Ladies and gentlemen, Marcus Rossini!

MARCUS ROSSINI

Just look at those deep, endearing eyes, his long unruly hair, and his piercings... What a bloke! :)

"So Marcus, my friend, can you tell me what your favourite beer is, or should I already know?"
"Well considering we went down the shops and bought a couple and I said to you 'you have to try this', I'd say that you should know by now!"
Ha ha ha! Funny bugger! Just to let you all know, that Marcus' favourite is Black Sheep IPA made in Masher, and another one is Oxford Gold"

http://www.brakspear-beers.co.uk/beers/view/oxford

https://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/beers

On this very eventful night, we landed up going out and getting some food and beers. We went and purchased a bottle of gin, pretzels, and heaps of food for club sandwiches (which I made and they were the bomb-diggity!) We also had a few Foster's, some Old Speckled Hens, and some plain of the above. Great night! Went to bed at 3am and had to work at 11am, so all good! Cheers Marcus.

I am sitting next to another drinker, here at my place of work. I think I'll just ask him. Ladies and gents... Alex McIntyre.

ALEX MCINTYRE

Alex is a student, and he's a little bit tipsy. He's been hanging out here for the last night, and he's here to learn in Oxford. But, right now, he's sipping on a Foster's, thinking that he should really go to bed!

"Hey, what's your favourite beer?"

He put's his hand to his head, thinking, slightly intoxicated. 

"Stella"

Easy answer - "why, mate?"

"Oh it's just a good beer. Great taste."

http://www.stellaartois.com/en_gb/heritage.html

Ahhh so easy to answer. I like Stella Artois too. Good taste this young chap! Cheers bro!

And that's it for this edition of It's All About the Beer, Buddy.

Come back again for my next installment, where I talk to others about their favourites, and we delve into the pro's and con's of drinking our favourite amber fluid.

Until then. 

Cheers

Beer Bud

It's All About the Beer, Buddy

Hello again readers! This is a special edition, as I have got a lot to say about beer! I have asked a few of my colleagues and friends to be interviewed about their favourite beer, and they have gladly said yes! So here comes the pain...

I mean, here comes the reviews (got a bit carried away there - sorry!)

My next friend to be interviewed about our favourite brewski is...Alex! (Another one of those "ladies, line up", type of blokes, and yes he's single girls... hahaha!)

ALEX TROY RANSFIELD

Alex is from "The Land of the Long White Cloud". Yes, he's a kiwi, a New Zealander, and he's a great mate. I met Alex earlier this year in Paris, with a couple of his mates (whom I hope to interview later) and we've been in contact ever since. He's still travelling (a bit like me), and right now he's in Greece.

"Now buddy... What's your favourite beer and why?"

Alex answered, "That's a big question mate. I'll have a think about it and get back to you.."

TWO DAYS LATER...

ME: "Come on sunshine, where's your answer?"

Alex: "Rome wasn't built in a day" 

Cheeky bugger...

"Oh, you still on that beer question?" he asks

"Yes mate". He's thinking... it takes time. It can hurt him sometimes when he does it too much lol. He finally gets back to me...

"Very situational...", which I actually had to agree with him a little bit. I do have a favourite that works with some situations and not with others. "Steinlager Pure. All time favourite beer. But I can't get drunk on it and wouldn't. Too much and it starts to lose it's flavour." Said like a true beer aficionado. "Monteith's Radler from the tap - now THAT is a drop!"

"Now that's tasty" I said. "I've gotten a real swagger for Stone & Wood..."

"Yeah - she's nice also..."

http://www.steinlager.com/Splash

http://www.monteiths.co.nz/Beer-And-Cider/Radler-bier

Well, there's a good mate, with good taste. Thanks bro.

Next up on the interview block! An old school mate...

Ladies and gentlemen... John Hamilton

JOHN D HAMILTON

Y'know when you've know a person for a long time is when you went to school with them. I've kept in touch with John for a few years, when we both could. John has been to a number of places around the world, and I bet, he's had a number of beers too! So, I asked him.

"Hey - when you are free - I would like to know what your favourite beer is and why - and I'll add it to my blog."

"Probably Carlings or Super 10, 'cause is very smooth and doesn't give you a bloated feeling afterwards". Well, that's John. He loves his beer!

https://www.carling.com/check?

Now we are going to interview one of my oldest and closest mates. I met my friend Peter at a gig that I was putting on (and still do to this date, and it's a cracker of a party on Australia Day) way way back. He and another mate of his (mine too) came down to give me a hand putting it on, and we've been great friends ever since. Ladies and gentlemen, the irreputable Peter Salter.

PETER SALTER

Wow... I haven't seen this photo before. And to think, that this man was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago. He's a qualified chef - and a REALLY good one at that! Now Peter is studying Business Law at the University of Western Australia. And he has got a brain on him. The amount of times that Pete (as he's affectionately known by his friends and family) has come over unannounced (he'd say different!) and just gone into the kitchen and started cooking some REALLY GOOD FOOD. He and his partner Levina have been together for a while, and she is a lovely lady.

Now Pete, he loves a good chin wag, and a good debate. So let's see what he has to say about this subject in particular, as we've had a LOT of conversations about this in the past, and I know that he's been waiting to have his say. I caught him just before going to sleep. He had to work, or he had class, or something...

"Ok, Pete... Favourite beer and why"

He just sends me this...

Typical Pete..."Or the Hefeweizen Dunkel. For me it goes well with food of my heritage. Ergo German beer and German food."

He goes on..."But I think beer in general is a subjective thing. It is dependant on weather, atmosphere/company and other contributing factors that are too numerous to mention (a la my friend Alex above, who also said it very situational).

https://www.weihenstephaner.de/unsere-biere/tradition-bayrisch-dunkel/

"However people do have their favourites, some will have an old warhorse they keep going back to, as the creatures of habit they are. Others may find themselves changing their preference every so often, as they get bored of what they are drinking, or more precisely, something else with more appeal...". Peter always has had a way with words. I will be talking to Pete a lot during the blogs, because I think, that a chef's input is very valuable in a subject like this, especially if we are marrying food with beer. Cheers Peter. As usual, a great answer.

Now let's interview a family member from here in the United Kingdom. My cousin Rachel and her hubby Andy made me the BEST dinner the other week, and they are a couple of champion people - good people, y'know? Ladies and gentlemen... Rachel and Andy!

RACHEL AND ANDREW COLLINS

I first met my cousin Rachel when her family came down to Oz when I was a mite. So after 30 odd years, I decided to visit the family, and I was picked up by her sister Sarah from Heathrow when I first landed. I met Sarah's family - her husband Terry, and her two beaut lads Lewis and Benjamin -HI LADS! Sarah organised a surprise for her mum and dad Maureen and Brian) and her sister and her hubby. A few months later, I was invited to Rachel and Andy's place in Sawbridgeworth (wonderful name for a town!) and had dinner at their wonderful home. 

I was on Messenger a few hours ago, and asked these two what their favourite beers were. Unsurprisingly, they said the same thing!

"Hey Rach! Do you drink beer?"

And one of the best answers I've received yet!

"Does a beer shit in the woods?" I laughed my socks off, and got a few weird looks from the staff here!

"Bear not beer" she said.
"it shits little beers of course!" I replied trying to be funny. "Been drinking! lol. Yip!"

"What is your favourite? And ask Andy too. I'm doing a blog. It's going pretty well. You wanna be famous? lol"

"Corona with lime" I could tell she was probably having one right this moment! "Both of us"

"Ahhh... the Mexican in you is the Mexican in him... Why?"

Rachel is straight to the point "Good taste, goes well with lime, not too gassy. lol"

"What's Andy's reason?" I ask

"Same as mine!"

"Ok!" I say "Well good honest answers are good!"

Rachel and Andy are beaut people. Like I said before. I will miss them when I leave. "WHEN" I leave. If ever. I don't know at this point!

http://www.corona.com/

Well, that's it for this special edition. I will be doing more interview, more reviews, and I'm going to start trying to line up some events that are beer orientated in the coming months.

So until next time!

Cheers!
