Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

[JoKing]

Fuck Howard Morrison! I love that name.

But you're right... it is better suited for a bad damn beer.

[Mike Neilson]

ANGRY bad damn beer!!!

Not for soft cocks!!

Give the brother a bit of credit it though!! He done a mean rendition of 10 Guitars!! He put it on the map in NZ!! I dont know how many times I have far to many beers and have sung it!!

[JoKing]

I fully retract that comment!!!! I didn't know the news of his death.

Appologies to all whom I offended.

[Mike Neilson]

Hahahaha!! OPPS!!!! I think Luke Should put this under quotes of the week!!

[James P]

How many times has the pakeha had to apologise for his insensitive actions against the Maori?

Hmm + 1 eh?

[Mike Neilson]

The Morrisons are going to put a Makutu on Joking. Instead of drowning him with water we will have to do it with IPA to get rid of the Makutu!!

Meh, one shouldn't have to change one's view just because the subject of that view has died. I didn't much care for the guy. I couldn't stand Michael Jackson either. Public figures are public figures, people will have strong views about them. When you and I kick the bucket, I can only hope we're famous enough for some people to say "man, I hated that prick". ;)

Excellent brew day. Finally got some of my processes down pat and today was much more enjoyable. Not so much worry and second guessing of what I'm doing. Missed my OG by 1 point so I'm pretty stoked with that. I did have a mare and over hopped it (over hopped you say?!) at the 15min mark which has given it more bitterness than I wanted. Hopefully it will mallow out some otherwise I may have an Imperial Saison... The T-58 was in action within a couple of hours so it's bubblin' away just nicely now.
