Rob Courtney Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Looking after my next door neighbours dog whilst he is away, really don't need no thanks for it, all I am doing is walking him 2-3 times a week and chucking him in the backyard with my dog. As some thanks though, he had a mate drop around a carton of Hollandia beer. It is a bargain price point beer, sitting aroud that 37-40 buckeroos a carton. Geeez, beer companies ge away with some crap hey? I have had worse, thought I'd have a taster to see where it is at and I reckon it is best placed thusly..." you come home from a stinking hot day, the airconditioner is broken, you can't be arsed getting into your car to get some better beers as you are broke...and you don't already have three months supply of Brewart beers. Then you'd be thinking "well, at least I have some beer in the fridge" It lists its ingredients as "hop extract"...I think it is hallertau and a budget version of hallertau at that. Bit of a rough drop, hoping Liam isn't thinking of doing a brewprint of this Guess what I'm saying is, if you're at a party and someone says "would you like a Hollandia...Hollandia Premium no less"...be diplomatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you pour half a glass and top up with one of your nice brews. Beer blending does work. Or get pissed on your brew and then drink your Hollandia beer. It follows the well know pub band situation, absolute crap when you arrive, better than the Rollings Stones before you leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Starting to teach the daughter how to cook and asked her what she wanted to learn to cook...and surprisingly for a kid...she said Chicken Nuggets. So, always one to do something to show the joy of cooking ( though the joy of eating, ts by product is infinitely better), we made probably the most boring food in the world, shallow fried in a pan. Gotta say though, pretty bloody good, first time I've had chicken nuggets in a long time, crispy panko crumb washed down with a Bohemian and a Czech Pilsner, good stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Well done 👍🏼 gotta run with their enthusiasm. Rub some sweet baby rays buffalo sauce on those puppies and you’ll suck down a droid full of lager 🍺 🤙🏽 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Want a laugh, the great Australia Post. Order 50g of hops from brew shop in WA, as at 8.57am yesterday they were at their Adelaide Airport facility, as at 10.16am tracking reports they are on their way to their Brisbane facility!, ( for those that don’t know, I’m in Adelaide). Hope the hops were well packed? I’ve put in a complaint as to what’s going on, should seek the $12.20 postage back.👎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking says it went from there to Darwin holding that afternoon. Exactly 1 week later it flew to Brisbane, arrived on the GC the next day. Not too bad, at least it didn't go to Radelaide.🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Correction, not 50g but 500g of Idaho 7 hops. Anyway finally arrived, thanks to great vacuum sealing and packaging, I don’t have major concerns. I appreciate the massive increase in postal deliveries, however employ more or charge a lot less due for the inefficient processing of your highly technical scanning abilities and use some of your multi million + profits, back to your customers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Anyways, gosh this has been a good night drinking. Birra, Lawnmower followed by a couple of Aussie Lagers hooped by Saaz, Perle and Spalt and it has just been bang on. Birra went well with the steaks tonight, not sure I could be a vegan...a well cooked steak ( and i don't mean well done) properly seasoned is a treat...and Mrs Cs bernaise sauce...tofu just does not compare Edited December 10, 2021 by Rob Courtney 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
