Beer week continues ... should it ever end?

I was excited during Melbourne Beer Week to see that some of my favorite breweries would be holding events around pubs and bottle shops.  On the 16th of May, Renaissance Brewing and Yeastie Boys had a beer tasting.  It was great to ask questions of the breweries, ingredients, and secrets.  The beer was great and it was essentially all you can drink by the end of the session.  One of the interesting beers from the Yeastie Boys was a beer made from peat malt, which is what they use for Scotch.  It was an interesting flavor that no one seemed to like, but it grew on me.  I left the event with a bottle of Renaissance barley wine, and I will be aging it until I leave Australia.  It's one of my favorite styles from one of my favorite breweries... so quit your whining (apologies for the horrendous pun).
