24 hours of awesome

In bang on 24 hours I managed to eat (and/or drink)  at every good place in New Acton. Breakfast with the best girl I know from Dubbo at Mocan, late lunch at A Baker and drinks at Parlour with the other member of my bike gang (aka fellow drain rat). I also had a solo cocktail at Hotel Hotel while waiting for my Bill Murray Lost In Translation moment, but failed at that - which I'm okay with. Finally, breakfast at Hotel Hotel with the bike gang member and another lovely friend who doesn't have a stupid nickname (but is wonderful without one). 

Great way to spend the weekend. If you are in Canberra stay at the Nishi apartments. They are the best!

Animal beer tasting (part 1)

Tasters: 

Girl of the yellow house in the U (Girl)

Dave the incredible rock slayer (of doom) and friends (Dave) (who is 8 foot tall and able to slay rocks with a might sword)

Girl: Dog beer - AKA Helen Keller Beer

Looks like beer. Pretty colour, a nice sandy sort of colour. Quite bitter on the pallet. Some might say hoppy. I might say that too given I don't know anything about beer.

Dave: Helmuth Kellerbier - AKA Dog beer

It left me blind. Happy beer. Light with no harsh aftertaste. The Girl got mixed up between Helen Keller and Anne Frank. I ate cauliflower. 

Girl: Kitty Cat Beer

Light beer, not hoppy (well that's what Dave said until he changed his mind). The chilli is making it a bit hard to tell the depth of this beer on the pallet. The taste changed after eating the thai beef salad (which was delicious thanks!) I liked the picture of the cat, though it was pointed out to me after I said that, that the cat was wielding a bloody chainsaw. Ironic that Dave the incredible rock slayer (of doom) and friends would notice that.

Dave: Wicked Wheat - AKA Cat Beer

Milder than the dog beer but still a little bit hoppy - and it has more of an aftertaste, or is that the thai beef salad messing with my taste buds? The cat had a chainsaw!!!

Girl: Owl Beer

Tastes like coffee. Looks like coffee. Is it coffee?

Dave: Sweet Stout - AKA Owl Beer

Bit bitter, but gentle aftertaste. Sharpish edge. Tastes like roasted coffee beans. Still quite light though.

BONUS BEER!

Girl: I don't know what it was called but it didn't have an animal on the label

It was hot. I was thirsty. I drank it too quickly and it impaired on my fußball ability. Plus I wasn't wearing glasses.

Dave: Cruzcampo - AKA non animal

Light and easy. It seriously affect the Girls goalkeeper in a game of table football. I was the talk of the club and accepted the world cup from a smiling club secretary.
