Mikkell. I Can't Be Bothered Today

New Mikkeller

No story, no anecdote, no quips, no comments, no pictures, no explantions, no descriptions. I really can't be bothered today.
Oh, and no IPA. Deal with it.

This is not really a post for all the "Hardcore’s" out there.
For our window promo this Summer, we will be having 4 Pines beers.

We have their Stout, Pale Ale, Hefe Wiezen & Kolcsh.

Yes. Yes, I know. they don't do an IPA and I'm sure your all going to point out to me in that they don't have their own production brewery. Yet.





But they are super nice guys and this means it's another beer I can recommend when people ask for James Squire.

I've been to 4 Pines once. It was nice. I whish I could go there more often.

Had a burger, pints and everything.

Quality ESB.

However living in 'The Shire' means that somewhere like Manly is almost an entire universe away.

I know I could drive there, but what’s the point of visiting a brew pub if you can’t have more than one pint.

And all my friends drink Pure Blonde, so how do I talk them into catching terrible public transport. nay make them drive me there.

Crumbs!

So, I don't really do prices on the blog. it's not how we carry ourselves.
However there is a first for everything.


4 Pines 6 packs are $17.99 and cartons are $59.99.

They might not be some quad triple hoppy mega super premium bitch IPA,
However for Chrissy, they are a tasty option, especially for those relatives that you don't mind giving the good stuff to.

Letter To The Prsident

Dear Mr Obama,

I like you. I actually really do. This is indeed rare.

Please excuse my terrible grammar, spelling and construction of this very informal letter.







I, like you, have really never had a real job.

However, like a certain 'Beckham'.
People, and I mean lost of people, do make me hate you. Intellectual lefties with spectacles who wear shirts with your face on it, everybody who works for the ABC and just people who have no idea about how the American political landscape or process works, however love you way too much. Somehow, they will work out that inevitably you are just another politician.

You seem like a really nice guy, swell even. And seem to have an aurora about you.

However, this doesn't stop you from being a bit of a socialist.
But I would never let that get in the way of a game of 'ball', conversations about Cody Chesnutt, Wu Tang Clan (things that I know you cant tell anybody you like because that will piss off your politically white correct upper middle class liberal government worker/journalist voters), Hot Doug's hot dogs in Chicago, Mother In Law tamales, Deep Dish Chicago style Pizza or most important of all, beer.

It has come to our attention that Australia and the USA are in 'Free Trade' talks?

Well, you have (not) asked the right person.

We will give you, let's say. Steve Irwin, Paul Hogan, that woman from the first 'Transformers' movie, that other woman with blonde hair who is skinny with big boobs and was gobbing that singer from 'Charlotte' band something, Yellow Tail wine, lots and lots of Kangaroos (don't tell your mates that we eat and cull them, YUM) and possibly an EMU (you could try eating that, however I think it might just end up tasting like chicken), hats with corks around the rim, stubbie coolers. The list could go on and on.

In return, I think you should open your doors to all your craft brewers. Big, small and in between. We'll love and cherish them all. Hell, I don't even mind if you throw in some Blue Moon.

Fair Trade right??

Ok, and maybe some of your sweet sweet sweet cheap petrol.

Obviously this is not how a free trade agreement works. But considering, this is how most people I know would consider international politics to work. Lets just go with it!

I hope you have a fantastic time in our country and please. I know you love burgers, do try one with beetroot, pineapple and an egg. Sounds a bit crap, but it is nice.

Also, before I go, please let me apologise for Julia. As you have might have worked out, she is a total idiot.
And don't be offended when she asks here body language and speech therapists for the answer to any number of simple gripping questions you ask like, "how many days in a week?".
It's true what they say, simpletons do have their charm.

Yours Faithfully.

Divinty Involving Beer, Hats, After Shave & a Ferrari

Finally, after all this time, I recived some of 'The Caligione's beers.

Thats right, I don't even reffer to Sam Caligion, as Sam Caligione anymore. At Platinum Lqiuor we either reffer to him as God, or 'The Caligione'.

It is pretty sad, but hey, some of us hero worship Todd Carney and some of us hero worship people who actually work for a living and have made something of themselves.
(I wanted to list a whole bunch of NRL and AFL players, but the sad fact is, I actually don't know any of their names, they are just buff, whith lots and lots of Douche Bag tats)




So, now I can proudly disply my Dogfish Head metal sign in my door front window.

I felt that I could not place it on view until I had stocked some of 'The Caligione' beers.

It's a bit like (and I think you have to have Italian heritage to experiance this one and understand it full) all those guys I know or knew grwoing up that had/have Ferrari hats, underpants, pens, watches, aftershaves, pit crew shirts, shoes, bags, PJ's etc...

But actually were never going to, or do own an actaull f@#king Ferrari.
And they couldn't even point out Modena on a map if they tried.

Anyways, the sign makes me happy. :)

Nothing Wrong With Nøgne-Ø Returning From Norway.

If one, Wiki's 'Norway'.

A raft of infomation comes ones way. A brief example would be the following :

"Norway has extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, fresh water, and hydropower. On a per-capita basis, it is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas outside of the Middle East."

However they have left out one key fact about this tiny nordic Kingdom (that's right, it's a Kingdom, wiki told me).

It's that they have a man, a brewer named Kjetil Jikiun. And he makes some fine tastey brews. His brewery is Nøgne -Ø (and no, I still don't know how to pronounce the name properly!).

Now we have gotten in only the mega stuff, none of this Pale Ale or Wit or some piss arse 5%-er. I can give you better fresher cheaper 6pks of Aust. mircos if you want that stuff. (Cue : Sierra Nevada Syndrome)

We have got all the big boys:

-Imperial Stout
-Imperial Brown Ale
-2IPA
-IPA
&
-#100 - Barley Wine/2IPA (who really knows? Could be the son of HEMAN for all we know?)

It's good to have the Nøgne-Ø beers back after what we would call a sabbatical. In even better news, the brews are %25 cheaper than they used to be when they were imported by a another guy, possibly from Queensland, but definetly who was a bit crap.














Anyways, we're just happy to have more great super yum beers. I'm never more happy to sell beers of the man who is the leader in the world in looking like an Ewok (Ewoks originate from the Star Wars films. They are a species of teddy-bear-like hunter-gatherers that inhabit the forest moon of Endor. They first appeared in the film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi - See Above).

Maybe they were cousins???
