It's a lovely thing. Thanks for posting that photo, Chris. You know f*$k all about beer.

Haha--I might surprise you Pal. I raced bicycles in Limburg and lived there for 3 years--down in the little geographical Dutch nutsack dangling between Germany (West Germany back then), and Belgium. Was just about 70km from Cologne/Koln, and I was a regular at all the best Kolsch breweries. After visiting me, my father started brewing his own microbrews and won many awards; (this was back in the dark days of Coors & Budweiser, before microbrews caught on in the US.)
And now I live about 4 miles from ground-zero of San Diego's microbrew big bang. I have growlers from 8 of the ~20 different breweries here (though most of them are obsessed with this IPA fad right now, which doesn't make much sense to me in a time of refrigeration and sanitation.)

I was a little tipsy on the pilsner last night, and was just joshing about Aussie beer. Cheers mate! If you ever make it to the upper half of the world, bring your boots & helmet. We've got some terrific breweries here, and even better silly-string roads.
