  I don't normally blow my own trumpet - in this case I'm blowing it for BIAB and to encourage those new to the method who may perhaps harbour some niggling doubts about whether BIAB is 'second best' or some sort of soft option.
  
  Anyway this year, as announced tonight at the awards night, the Brisbane Amateur Beer Brewers Competition yielded these Results for my BIAB beers:
  
  1st - Pale Ales and Bitters - Special Bitter 42 points (out of 50)and Silver
  1st - Stouts and Porters - Dry Stout - 44...

  @shetc ,
  
  I meant to communicate “good job” on this. It means you have your “process” down where you are getting consistently good beer. And that is important!
  
  Congratulations! And good job.
  
  Scott
  
  Thanks, Scott!

  Please place anything of humour into this thread. To keep it interesting, a moderator will, from time to time clean the thread whilst leaving the original humour in place.
  
  Whilst brewers are in general a fairly tolerant lot, double-check before posting that your post is funny rather than potentially offensive.

  A yank visits The Promised Land and goes for a walk on Bondi Beach. Here and there he kicks a bottle and from one a Genie appears and tells him she will grant 3 wishes. Holding the bottle in his hand he says, well how about a cold beer that never runs out. Immediately the bottle turns into a fresh, delicious cold beer. When he takes the last drink from it, it magically refills. With a huge smile he starts off down the beach when the Genie says, wait - you still have 2 wishes. OK, he says, give...

1. A380 - The Flying Bar..

  Was lucky enough to fly business class on Emirates on an A380 from Dubai to London the other day. Fell in love with all the stewardesses and even had one take me on a tour of their sleeping quarters :). They are the best!
  
  And then there's the bar :o. I should have taken better pics but was enjoying the moment too much. Here's a few for you though...
  
  This one I found online is probably worth looking at first as it gives you an overall idea.
  
  Here's a couple of others including one of the...

  Looks great! But most importantly, how was the beer?
  
  I was hoping no one would ask that one Aaron ;).
  
  Guess how many beers I had? One!!!
  
  They had three beers or four available and all were in the can :roll:. I had one Heineken from the can :oops: My sister was happy with Veuve champagne and I stayed pretty happy with a massive range of top shelf wines, spirits and cocktails - I never had two drinks the same in a row.
  
  This must have been a special flight as my brother-in-law joined us in...

  It sure is a weird feeling, i think after it was over, i realized how scary it was. Like you siad wiz, no warning.
  I cant get over the noise, it was the loudest thing i have ever heard, i can only liken it to a jumbo jet crashing into the shed at work. Amazing no one was hurt, heaps of buildings of historical burt st, boulder, have half fallen down or has srious damage.
  Something im not going to forget in a long time, especially the car park and the walls in the office moving in front of my...

  Howdy everyone,
  
  I'd like to be the first to say welcome to the live site, but I'd also like to be the first to thank all of those involved in making this happen. It's taken a lot of time, as well as the blood, sweat and beers, but from the looks of the information and expertise that's here on day 1, I think it's been worth the slog. A big cheers to Pat for his time and dedication, and his will power than helped him not give up on us. I think this is going to turn out pretty awesome :) So...
