American I think (Dark blue lable?)

Ah, the Dark blue label is on the Aotearoa one. I don't much care for it either. Check out the one with the white label.

Hooroo

Nice. Will do

I loved all the Christmas real ales over here, most pubs had different ones. As they often had short runs, you'd need to get lucky finding a good one twice though.

Yeah I got me a kit just before Xmas (was a package thing and was a Cider kit) and my first brew supposed to be ready for drinking Monday...the kits are pretty fool proof TBH, although I expect I will ruin plenty of brews experimenting too much

Follow the recipes to an absolute tee and don't get too clever early on or else you're just wasting time and will end up disappointed.

Shit, it's been hot even in the nations capital, haven't any of you fluffybunnys drunk any beer over the summer ????? judging by the lack of action on this thread perhaps not......
 
Gonna be a few weeks til I go brewing again, one brewery I'm getting into is "Rocky Knob" based in the Mount so the label tells me. You can grab a 1.25 litre bottle for 17.99 and their APA and IPA are particularly good.
 
Also if you get a chance have a look at the ridiculous selection that Garage Project have.....with the prices to match......I mean how do you possibly choose from such a convoluted list ?

You just stop at the word "Beer"

Sad fuck that I am I just wrote down all the beers I have tasted in the last three days in Colorado. Seriously, there are more breweries here than mountains. My list is at 34 already and I have 11 days to go.

Yep. The States is the land of opportunity for beer enthusiasts. I've been on the <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://untappd.com/'>Untappd app</a> for just over a year and have tried 257 unique beers... and I'm not even a big drinker.
 
At this rate you'll overtake me before the end of your trip... if you survive that long :)

What is your Untappd handle? Mine is dutchkiaora. My problem with Untappd is I forget I have it and forget to log all the beers I am drinking.

Yep, looks like you have a bit of catching up to do :)
 
The trick is to not care how much of a dick you look like when you take pictures of your beer while you are out with friends.

Well it's not like a single ferner would be able to judge you on that front.
