*Takes two mouthfuls of Carlsberg, tips the rest down the khazi*
Best place for it, and not as a result of having gone through me first neither.
*Strolls down to the brewery and pours a pitcher of something decent*
Ahhh, that's better 
I'm in mood for some Family http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5yn7R-v5ng

* Nasty Gurgling Noises from Kahzi*
Probably best to keep clear of that for a while!!!
Bog cleaning is about the only use for that stuff.

I had some cheap brandy like that once... Someone bought it back from BoB-knows where, and gave it to me... even with cola it was... nah.... Worked magic on cleaning limescale off the tiles though

I don't know what I was thinking, especially since we have a brewery turning such good ale. The ambience of the room must have regressed me 40 years.
It could have been worse - I could have been drinking from a Party 7 or one of those seven-pint tins of Worthington E 
It won't happen again.
I'm hungry. Anyone know if there's a Vesta Chicken Supreme in the pantry?

food? hang on...
*gets up... stumbles about a bit*
Don't panic...
*wonders off to find where the bakery was hidden*
*returns with a tray laden with various rolls, and baguettes, fill of various fillings some hot... 
I'm sure there is a box of mustards and pickles round here somewhere... if we want/need them....
*puts the tray down carefully then collapses onto the floor again*

*Looks at the bread... wonders if anyone's milked the cow and made cheese. Thinks about making some chutney.*

OOO! looky!
*moves a couple of the baguettes on the tray:::
oo... wonder if they're all pork pies.... some might be game... 
oo... sausage rolls too....
I can milk a goat... surely cows can't be that* much differnt?

Good grief - this is the very last Genesis gig I ever went to. A few months later a friend and I - the same friend who got me into Genesis in the first place - went to see the Stranglers at the Chalk Farm Roundhouse, and neither of us looked back - it was punk all the way from that point on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2U-mjIZ2XA

I'm slacking in my record picking, as I'm not at my computer and Utube isn't easy on this phone.

Plum porter... what an interesting idea. Sounds far more tempting than oyster stout.

I know a brewer or two in this neck of the woods - I'll make a surreptitious suggestion or two 
You might enjoy this... although I've no idea how you might get hold of it without coming to Texas http://www.512brewing.com/2011/12/512-pecan-porter-2/
I think Phaedra will always be my favourite Tangerine Dream album. I heard Peely play it in its entirety one night, the way he used to do that sort of thing, and went right out and bought a copy as soon as I could. And I've still got that copy

I don't think I've seen that over here (yet)
Mind you quite a few USA Craft Beers have been putting appearances at such places as Port Street, Might ask Pastey if he knows.

You'll be very unlikely to see any (512) beers outside Texas, or even outside Austin sometimes. Firstly they're almost entirely draft-only, secondly they only bottle a small handful of special releases, and thirdly they can hardly keep up with demand as it is without even thinking of exporting to other states, let alone abroad.
One beer they do bottle, however, is this one http://www.512brewing.com/2011/12/512-whiskey-barrel-aged-double-pecan-porter/ It's one of the best two or three beers I've ever had (and I don't say that lightly), and its 2014 release must be pretty adjacent because it usually comes out around April
