Hi guys,

Well, I have posted my first topic and had a few good replies and I would just like to say that you're a great bunch of folk and i'm honoured to be in the forum.
Here's to many years of gentle intercontinental chat and i'll have a pint to you all when i'm in the boozer. If the railroad carried real people I would give you all life tickets!!
Cheers,
Kim

Have you tried "VB" Victoria Bitter by any chance. Brewed by German migrants right down in rainy Melbourne.

Hi guys,
This confirms it, the 2 hobbies go hand in hand, or is that track in glass? Anyway, Vic, a favourite of mine is Adnams - they do a few but watch out for Regatta - superb. I drink beer from microbrewers, the guys who have a brewing capacity from 2 to 20 barrells. They all subscribe to a loose transportation system where their brews get round the country. Another favourite is Gooseye from Yorkshire - and yes they have done a Galloping Goose, but it wasn't the Rio Grande Southern. Yes Ian, i've had Victoria Bitter, but it was one that was brewed here as far as I can remember. John, looks like i'll join you in a malt!
In the end it don't matter what you drink - it's the company that matters.
Cheers,
Kim
