h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Right, from the list I've managed to get:

Bishop's Finger
Old Peculier
Hobgoblin

I found the Wychwood Green Goblin as well; lack of a Thatcher's here as well. They do it in the hotel bar, but that's closed tonight. I somehow remembered that B had Green Goblin, and found one of those instead.

I also have Tribute, Titanic Stout and Exmoor Gold.

Kick-off is at 10pm; a late start to accommodate Gosho. Doesn't matter to me which order we sup in, but I reckon we should work through the 'official' list first, freeform drinking later on. If you don't have a particular beer, just substitute one of your own (similar if possible) for it. So we'll start with Thatcher's Gold, and those of us who don't have it can have an alternative cider if we have one.

Use the form at http://www.tastebeer.com.au/beer/141 toi grade your beers, and I'll come up with a table to grade them all when I've sobered up.

Sound ok?

One of these bottles is going to be going very soon.

Gosh, that's all disconcertingly organised! Well done 'Rich.

Ah, I don't have a functioning printer.

Bloody hell! Do I have to wait until 10pm to have my first beer of the night?

B

You don't *have* to. I don't think I'm going to...

Hi everyone I have

Wychwood Hobgoblin Ale
Theakston's Old Peculier
Shepherds Neame Bishop's Finger

Also
Old Specled Hen
Wells John Bull
Hobsons Town Cryer
Hobsons Postmans Knock
Shephard Neme 1698
Ridleys Old Bob
Dutchey Original
Dutchey Winter Ale
Green Man Ale

The local suppliers let me down to near Christmas.

Bob...

Could we compromise and do ciders at 9pm and beers at 10pm?

B

Damn, I could have got an Old Speckled Hen. Still could, but am thoroughly engrossed in an episode of Hustle and don't want to pause it!

Though I've got to rewind the bit I just typed through.

Sounds good.

Ok, 9pm for ciders. We start on the ale with Bishop's Finger at 10, and work through to the heavier ones. Once we're done with the list, we're drinking whatever is to hand.

A usual Friday night for me then.

B

I've got hobgoblin, bishops finger (i think) and.... probably something else.... maybe Broadside.... 10 suits me I have to go to the shop finihs the housework get a shower make dinner and do something else

Anyone know a way of editing PDFs (so I can mark the card) without printing them off?

I've decided to give up on the card. It's australian.

I'm also doing something I don't usually do, and breaking out a pint glass to drink these brews from. If it's cider at 9pm, I'll be starting with a nice pint of Thatcher's Single Varietal Cox's. First alcohol report in c. 6 minutes.

B

I have my Thanet Easter Beer Festival 2007 pint glass ready to go, and the Weston's Organic Cider lurking temptingly.

I'm going to start a new thread so all the tastings are easy for me to find

Can I ask which thread is appropriate to drunken banter?

B

The other one, I reckon. I just want to know where I'm starting and finishing, so it doesn't matter if there's merriment in between.
