I forgot its winter there!

 

[Burnham]

Looks like a comfortable place to hoist an ale on a coolish day .

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cozy looking pub!!!

 

[pete mctree]

Fine looking drinking establishment

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Ha, you're the one always saying it's easy when we whine about the difficulties of spur climbing the fatties for a 100+ feet...I always figured you had deep experience to back up your position .

That's what an SRT Ropewalker set-up is for.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Ah..is anyone going to drink that beer that is on the table?

Ah..is anyone going to drink that beer that is on the table?

I'd bet an Aussie dollar that beer has looong been processed into ... er ... never mind ...

 

[gf beranek]

Those little back wood pubs are a hoot. A bloke can get downright nackered.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I remember them not having many chairs. Most people stood up and drank at high tables.

 

[gf beranek]

A man can drink more beer that way. Fill up his legs.

 

[Jack]

... and when the legs fail ...

 

[woodworkingboy]

What were folks drinking there, Jerry, cold beer or at room temp? It's all good.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It was cold beer in Tasmania. Mombasa's "bars" had the room temp crap.

 

[woodworkingboy]

room temp crap.

An acquired taste.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, my drunk ass father could drink it hot.

I require ice cold.

 

[gf beranek]

If you ever chance to go back have a cold pot on me. A pot is a draft beer. And they served it chilled. Modern times, Butch.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I know all about pot, ha!

Now that's a great place to have a few pints and talk trees. Great that you got down there Jer and thanks Graeme for all that you have done for our industry, just like Jer has done.

BTW, awesome article in the 2nd issue of Arb Climber. I've seen it before, but great to have it printed in the new mag. Keep up the fabulous work bro!

I have liked beer all my life, even when a kid. After first thinking that the room temp real ale stuff tasted like dish water, living in Great Britain, I came to think of it as the true beer! I couldn't much appreciate the cold gassy stuff any longer. Now it's all good, I'm back to much liking cold again.

 

[Peter]

Room temp is a bit misleading, it should be kept in a beer cellar, so underground with a constant year round temperature of 12-15 C. Too cold and your tastebuds are numbed and the flavours lost. Of course with many beers that is an advantage, especially thin gassy lagers like Fosters or Bud. A decent cask conditioned ale should be savoured like a fine wine, not cryogenically preserved and served so cold you get frostbite just from holding the glass.

 

[gf beranek]

Frost bite beer. Coming out of the woods after a sweaty hot day. Oh yeah.

Guess I never tried a good ale before. Least I know of.
