Meat cones
Big fan. C/o A Lady Butcher, and enhanced a great deal by excellent company on a beer-centric pre-offspring man-shower.
Backyard pallet boxes
Progress was restricted to short moments of free time, so it took over a year to get to the point of getting something edible from this project. No regrets though. Definitely levelled up in my hammer-and-crowbar-swinging skills. Box 3 hopefully done in the not-too-distant future.
Third time lucky on the mowing front
After two failed attempts to follow the eco-friendly route (the same small patch of insanely thick grass killed both), I finally pulled the trigger on getting a grown-up version.
Buck 110
A frighteningly sharp and very solid Christmas gift from RGK.
End of the 10s - Roll on the 20s
A small collection of memories from a busy and eventful past ten years.
2019 IMHO Beer Ratings - Best of 2019
The best of a pretty good bunch:
Cassels Milk Stout from Christchurch. Hard to go past this as a standout winner for the year. Even better from the source.
This hazy IPA was ridiculously easy to drink. Best enjoyed with sun, friends, and barbeque.
A trip to Melbourne brought with it the realisation that the Australians do have beers other than VB and Foster’s, and they’re really quite good. This one in particular was seriously drinkable.
Runners-up:
2019 IMHO Beer Ratings - IPA
Not new, but still a favourite.
2019 IMHO Beer Ratings - Hazy IPA
A strong contender for best of the year.
