Stuart MacDiarmid: Genelle H. Cheers! Thank you. As you know, it's difficult not to slip into repetition of beer phrases. 🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking an Entmoot by Garage Project at The New Library Of Alexandria
The Aussie hobbit Samwise Ganja visited the Kiwi hobbits Dildo, Bogo-Pogo & Stench. He brought them sticky buds, pineapple & grapefruit in his canary yellow T-Bucket. Despite the pinewood box, sticky with resin, they could smell his damp woollen socks.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Dash-hound by Parrotdog at Parrotdog Bar
Brewed for Air New Zealand™ , genuinely my favourite airline after 50 years of flying the world. OK, let's keep things cromulent ... sticky green herbaceous & biscuity, like a picnic on Classy Fufu's lawn. Bloody lovely, Cobber!

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Merlot Sour Grape Ale by Heyday Beer Co. at Heyday Beer Co
The scent of grape-flavoured gum on the breath of my teenage sweetheart. Mum said she was a little tart; I didn't think so. I remember her bedspread was pink & had pictures of fruit; gooseberry & guava. Passionfruit too, but the passion was mine alone.

Stuart MacDiarmid: Steve K. Mate! Have you seen pictures of my library? Guess what I use for bookmarks ... How's Fran doing?
Steve K: She's acting happy but not that great. She came home again on Thur after her 3rd stay for rehydration/checks. More time in a ward than home
Victor ✌️: Stuart M. a gorgeous hat! 🤌
Stuart MacDiarmid: Steve K. I'll tell Helen M. We have both been worried.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Victor ✌️ you like the hat band? Maori weaving pattern called Aramoana (sea pathway). We white people, pakeha, live here because of a treaty the english made in 1840. Today the pakeha fascists are tearing up the treaty.
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Boysenberry, Cacao, Jasmine Sour by Heyday Beer Co. at Heyday Beer Co
You've been away for the weekend & come home to find the fruit bowl didn't last well; that's the scent. Tickley pétillant pinkness. Perfumed, a little tart. Subtle chocolate notes. I wonder what my father would have thought of this?

Rudi Akkermans: Stuart M. I must confess, I’m a big spaghetti western fan and an even bigger Sergio Leone fan. Once Upon a Time in America is my all time favourite film
Stuart MacDiarmid: Rudi A. I reckon you mean Once Upon a Time in the West. Helen M. and I rewatched that last week. Honest! Best opening ever!
Rudi Akkermans: Stuart M. That’d have to be my favourite Western (with the Good, The Bad & The Ugly). But Once Upon a Time in America is the best film I’ve ever seen
Stuart MacDiarmid: Rudi A. OK. I know that film too. More cerebral than the western.
Rudi Akkermans: Stuart M. Ennio Morricone’s score adds a hauntingly beautiful element to all Leone’s films. Goosebump stuff
Stuart MacDiarmid: Rudi A. Definitely!
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a RED EYE by One Drop Brewing Co at The New Library Of Alexandria

"The east is red, the sun is rising, China has brought forth a Mao Zedong". This ale is red. What does that tell us? Should we be worried? First impression is understated lemon, torrefied toffee, toasted coconut(?), modest bitterness lingers.

Paul Goddard: Mao would like it he enjoyed a drink now and then.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Paul G. So I've read ... 🍻
