Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Hop Zombie by Epic Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
I don't need to remind you that today, 30 January, is the annual Untappd Machuchu Party! (http://onlineslangdictionary.com/) You didn't need reminding, did you? And what better beer to celebrate a Machuchu Party with?

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Hop Zombie by Epic Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
A great beer to appreciate while listening to fellow Untapper Tobin K.'s latest release on Bandcamp. "I only drink when I smoke." I hope that the beer and the lyrics don't get me smoking again!

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Rum & Rye Barrel Aged Sea Monster Imperial Stout by Ballast Point Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Blacker than a Banderite's soul, but smooooothly silky, like a young Cuban cigar roller's inner thigh. A kaleidoscope of gustatory delight; molasses (a light touch), some vanilla crème Anglaise. Do I detect rum, shipmate? A slight flinty undercurrent.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking The Astonishing Ambrosia by Behemoth Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Well, that's scurvy warded off for a while! What an ascorbic mouth smash! A genuinely tart-sour melange of mixed berries, perhaps largely unripe. Avoids being escharotic through being slightly tamed by marshmallow. Nicely assertive, definitely 'healthy'.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a YO HO HO - Rum Infused Belgian Dark Ale by Behemoth Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
A dark oleaginous Uriah Heep of a beer. Yeasty & reeking of sticky dried fruits. More muscles than Claude Van Damme & almost as Belgian. ABV well hidden in this brew that reminds me of years-old honey I once ate. A fistful of spices rioting away in there.

Ian: Oleaginous. Nice use of the Queens English sir. 🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid: Rudi A. That would be Bundaberg, I reckon. I haven't seen any here for years.

Andy Turpin: A Uriah Heep of a beer!! 😀 Very 'umble. 🙂
Stuart MacDiarmid: Andy T. Very 'eavy! 🍻
Andy Turpin: Stuart M. Great band in their day! I'll admit to not having heard anything from them since the 70s! 😀
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a R18 - West Coast Double IPA by Mata Brewery at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
A rather unassuming dould. Certainly no swaggering bodgie strutting to impress Johnny Strabler & his Black Rebels Motorcycle Club. But, having said that, pleasant warm maltiness & grapefruit marmalade notes caress the palate & hide the ABV.

Stuart MacDiarmid: John Q. Me too, but this was not the best. 🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Fresh IPA - Dec 2022 by Garage Project at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Well, no surprises here. The usual monthly murkshake, fruitier than a prancersize video, silkier than a rich girl's knickers. Take a box of ripe tropical fruits, including sticky pineapple, mango, grapefruit & put in your Mum's blender. A bit like that.

Stuart MacDiarmid: Dale W.Dale W. See DM for url ...
Wayne C: Thee old Prancersizer makes a return 🤭🤣🤣 - that takes me back.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Wayne C. Prancersize is underrated in my opinion. OK, so the neighbours gossip, but, Hey!, I can put up with that when I'm out in my little leopard-skin panties prancing up the street ...
Tony Severinsen: Stealing murkshake. Great mashup/made up word.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Tony S. thank you! I am flattered. 🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Flemish Floozie by Craftwork Brewery at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Fresh-baked Weihnachtsstollen liquefied with Mum's Harvey's Bristol Cream sherry. That is, dried Christmas fruits, yeasty fresh white bread, vinous notes, a touch of dulce de leche, & lashings of soul-warming phlogiston & frubibbles.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Hop Zombie by Epic Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Drove back into Wellington through clouds of black smoke from fires lit at parliament by the poo-flinging antivaxxer mob. The live feed at home showed biggest police operation I've seen in NZ. Bricks rained on the cops. Firehoses. Rubber bullets. Awful!

Ulrik Olsen: 😱🤨, Stuart M. Yeah, we see the same shit here in our 1st World butterhole 😔🥺
Stuart MacDiarmid: Matt H. It's wise not to view other countries' politics through the (possibly distorting) prism of one's own country's politics. I have no Ukrainian Untappd mates, but my Russian mates are strongly divided.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Ulrik O. You know that I see Denmark through rose-tinted glasses so it always jolts me when I see Danes behaving badly. 😂
Stuart MacDiarmid: Matt H. I'm pretty sure I saw a "Free Sherman McCoy" tee-shirt in the crowd.
Matt Haddaway: Stuart M. Glad to hear you're watching the coverage — or better yet fixin to edge into that crowd!? Freedom lies in being bold — and it certainly knows no borders, sir.
Stuart MacDiarmid: Matt H. No, I'm not there. The mob left after setting fire to the children's playground.
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Double IPA Simcoe & Amarillo by Brouwerij Kees at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Deep amber colour, powerful malty nose. Oleaginous viscous malt assault on the palate through which over-cooked orange marmalade struggles to assert some fruit notes. A soupçon of resin. Rather 'old school' compared to local brews.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking an ALL DAY IPA (Non alcoholic) by Bach Brewing at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
I saw this quote: "People who drink light 'beer' don't like the taste of beer; they just like to pee a lot." Maybe that was true once, but this gorgeous non-alcoholic IPA shouts loud and clear "Not any longer!" How can a non-alcoholic beer be this good?

Stuart MacDiarmid: Jeroen I was astonished. 🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid: Rich S. but that is such an interesting thought!
Stuart MacDiarmid: Andrew D. This is a really good non-alcoholic beer.
Andrew D: Stuart M. For an NA, an overall rating of 3.6 is impressive.🍻
Stuart MacDiarmid: Andrew D. I really like it. I buy it by the 24 can slab. A pleasant beer to drink while cooking in the hot kitchen.

You know me. I love ethanol (not the taste, but the space where it takes me.) I have little tolerance for non-alcoholic beers. What's the point? But this ... A delightful floral & ripe tropical fruit nose. A hint of damp woollen socks, subtle citrus.

Stuart MacDiarmid: Garth and you a brewer! Giving away trade secrets. Shame on you!
Stuart MacDiarmid: A D. This beer is an exceptional alcohol-free IPA. Demand far outstripped the brewer's expectations. Very successful.
Cricket Mitchell: Sounds great 👍🏼 esp. if it’s floral!! 🍻🍺🥳
A Dude: Ride the .5% ABV wave!
Stuart MacDiarmid: A D. In this country 0.5% is recognised as "alcohol free".
Stuart MacDiarmid: Kristen M. Pop the tab and pour and the first scent is floral, taste and the notes are floral and slightly unripe white-fleshed peaches. @helen thought nectarine.
Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a You Get An IPA, You Get An IPA, Everybody Gets An IPA by Behemoth Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Thicker than that kid who sat behind you at primary school. Reminiscent of summer afternoons in the shade of fruit trees in Nana's orchard when you sat guzzling her homemade lemonade. She'd add grapefruit juice to it but was parsimonious with the sugar.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking an Emerald Mining On Mars by Behemoth Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
A warm red colouring, like the wood panelling in my 1917-built house I started restoring when I moved to the city. And like that panelling, a hint of old-fashioned varnish. Over-cooked grapefruit marmalade & pencil sharpenings. Bitter versus sweet.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Bezos' Bullshit Bathroom Breaks by Behemoth Brewing Company at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
Hazier than my understanding of cryptocurrency. The scent of a woollen sock dampened with grapefruit purée. Seduces the palate with sly, silky caresses that deny the ABV. I'm sure anything as fresh & citrusy as this has got to be good for you!

Wayne C: Calm now. But had the wildest winds this afternoon that Ive seen here. Plum tree came down and a few other trees around the house. So loud 👍 but were all good thanks. Hows wellington?
Stuart MacDiarmid: Our house is sheltered from the southerly but elsewhere flooding, slips, trees down. The anti-vaxxers' camp is looking squalid with mud, rubbish and poo everywhere. Like a refugee camp in Bongostan in the wet season.
Wayne C: Yeah the refugee camp is a joke now. I rather be in my warm home with craft beers and my family kept safe..
Stuart MacDiarmid: Wayne C. Me too! 🍻🍻🍻
Mike B: That damned first sentence.. Priceless.

Strewth! That's a big socky, piney dould! As clear as a baby's conscience with millions of tiny bubbles rising like a paeans of praise to Ninkasi. Straaf, like a cat's tongue licking your palate.

Stuart MacDiarmid is drinking a Brut IPA by Cassels Brewing Co. at The Whiskey Church Of The Green Bud
As brutally brut as having your silk bodice ripped by a dacoit wearing chainmail gloves! Drier than a dead dingo's donger! But, like Iranian sultanas dried in the sun, a delightful ... well ... dried ... fruitiness. White flesh peaches, slightly unripe.

I met Medusa Smith when she was working as a cocktail waitress on an oil rig. It wasn't until our second meeting at the Bundanyabba RSL during a game of two up that we really hit it off. My memories are hazy, but I recall sweet oranges, coconut, mint.

dan_i _am: Shit! That wasn’t Medusa Smith you met, you drunk bastard! That was Bearded Bertha with curlers in her hair! We were at the circus and you kept telling her that you would show her a real “trunk.”

Genelle H.: Хакобо W. .... can play two-up whenever we like at an RSL, darl!
Stuart MacDiarmid: Duncan Two up, or swy, is a national pastime in Australia. It is illegal except on Anzac Day. We used to play two up when I was at high school but it was never as popular in NZ as in Aus.
Duncan: Stuart M. Finding out what two up and NSL mean, then learning about Wake in Fright, it began to make a modicum of sense! University of Untappd!
Stuart MacDiarmid: Duncan Wake in Fright is a most impressive movie. Very dark.

Oh my goodness! Clearer than Mother Theresa's conscience, burnished amber. The scent of Jimbo the one-legged courier van driver's woollen sock on a busy day. But sparkly-straaf bitterness is like a cat's tongue on yours. Rich resin, citrus zest. Awesome!

When Ken Railings said to Liz Holt "Pam Shortt's broken both her legs, and I wanna dance with you!" Liz had such a hoppy face. The beer is clear & brown, like beer bottles used to be. Lashings of malt, grapefruit marmalade, retsina & Ballroom dancing.
