I’ll be in Torquay for a weekend in 3 weeks time. Will be going to the Tent Pole music festival at Mt Duneed (probs not your thing @Klawdy) and staying at the Torquay foreshore caravan park for a couple of nights. Will be sure to check this joint out and of course the Torquay pub where I first met the missus many moons ago.

Friends of ours have started a music festival at Mt. Duneed on their property and the second instalment is on that weekend. I was excited that you were gonna be there. I thought I’d Google tent pole festival, just in case, and realised they probably don’t have Spiderbait or Magic Dirt playing. Bugger.

You’ll have a nice buzz after those few. How was the Hawkers?
Also, lavender in a beer? Thoughts?

The older bro of a one of my high school mates is an owner at Mt Duneed, also held the falcons game’s record for a bit from memory. Good guy. The other brother nearly got drafted to the tiges, but it never came through and he’s spent the rest of his career involved at the Bullants.

Mrs close drank the sours but I did have a taste. The lavender one was a bit ■■■■ weak. The raspberry one was great.

Oh yeah, I’ve had a couple of very nice ones from them. I’ll have to get some when I’m in town.

It was really good. I was maybe expecting a bit more funk, but kinda glad it didn’t because of how much I did enjoy it.

Didn’t make time to hunt down Longstockings and blew straight past Malt-man, but we did go to the Broulee brew house and had some reasonable beers. The blonde was cracking in the sun with salt air. Took some pale cans home and I’ll crack those tonight and report back. The IPA had potential but was really grassy.

Has it really been 27 days since someone posted here? Y’all really need to blow cash on unnecessary overpriced beers more often.

I feel like a strong one today; Bourbon barrel aged with Himalayan salted caramel, candied pecans and dark choc. Pretty intense, you can sense the bourbon effect.

That could have ended up very ugly. I’m trying to take a measured approach.
