There might have been the odd fight and plenty of arguments.
A thick haze of cigarette smoke would have hung in the air.
The atmosphere now has gone, but the beer still tastes good..


Still the odd nutter about, although we're a dying breed just like the UK suburban Pub industry..

Try returning in the evening and I’m pretty sure it will be all that minus the smoke. Particularly on a weekend.

^^that is an industrial strength pair of spectacles you are sporting there Joe. I am only now getting the nic reference

I would also recognise that tongue anywhere (which feels a bit strange when I think about it)

Last of the 4 Pines Pacific Ales. This a solid beach beer for rehydrating the parts other beers cannot reach after a 4km pound along the sand.

Little Creatures Pale is more a heavier evening ale so wait till the sun is touching the horizon.

Onit like a car bonnet



The view will improve decidedly tonight!

Can't get too pissed, got a 5am start tomorrow

Its Friday, it's hot and the skimpy outfits are on!

A few to wet your whistle...

The quiet before the storm!

What's all this talk of inches??

Photos or it didn't happen.

A well earned Balters Captain Sensible to kick off this evening at the beach bar.

So named due the very moderate and sensible 3.5% ABV

Quite a complex little number.

Pungent citrus floral notes dancing over sharp bitter thirst-throttling hops.

Reminiscent of Balter's esteemed XPA

Another winner from the local Gold Coast craft brewers.

Until it was time to chip in for hosting.



Oz looks glorious, as always

I find those citrus notes refreshing on the first taste. Then they get tiresome, at the UK beer festivals I'd take a half of one of those then move on. And on ....

Monteith's Black, an adequate dark ale in Wellington NZ three days before flying home

What they say:
5.2%
Crafted from a blend of five premium malts to create a complex depth of flavours with dominant coffee notes. Crisper than sweet darks and smoother than harsh stouts. Perfect for the moment when you step in from the cold.
Food Match: Great with oysters, freshly smoked eel or blue cheese.

After a crazy day......A nice Rye from the cabinet

Two weeks earlier and you could have been at Beervana.

This is not bad.

Judging by the size of those trainers, Looper looks up to it as you do.

25 years, goes so quickly

Rain cleared, Did a quick late afternoon pool vacuum and pulled up my bar chair and enjoyed an ice cold one

A chicken tikka, rice and butter nan in a pretty box, and a bottle of Syrah from Red Mountain vineyard, near Inle Lake. The equivalent of 382 baht in total

by Thai standards that is cheap, actually by any standards ...

One for me, one for the missus.

Two for me, none for the Missus, she's at work

I didn't know Asahi owned them

Peroni is a nice beer.
