fatalberton is drinking a Peachy by Day To Be at The Franklin Hotel
Day off - afternoon drink with Lydon@TheGroomster is peachy as the name suggests. A little sudsy, hint at dank. It’s not bad.

Good lord! Last can of the trip and what a belter! Massive. Cherry and almonds and syrup and I need to brush my teeth now. Awesome trip. Feeling very chilled. Bed time now…

fatalberton is drinking an Operation Strata: Sector 1 - DDH HIIPA by Bacchus Brewing Co. at Maccabe's Point
Slightly too warm as my esky hasn’t quite managed three days, but still rich and a bit like toffee apple or raspberry. Tricky day of overhanging branches, reeds and some portage. All part of the adventure. Has a voluntary swim - that was nice too.
fatalberton is drinking a Sköll by Garage Project at Maccabe's Point
Day 2 and no impromptu swim today. Had a shower though from a bag hanging in a tree. This is full of fruit, maybe mango or passionfruit, which sounds weird for the style, but honestly it is good!

fatalberton: @Scrunt that’s actually a fair way from where we are but the only option.
My first experience with kolsch was 30 years ago in Koln - it was a warm summery day and I remember the fresh, grassy brightness. Now, older and wiser, while it is still clean and bright, it doesn’t do much for me.
