Eggbert's Travels

SHE SAID:

Busy Bees today. We had a 4 hour brunch with Erica & Aaron in Tuggeranong. They are up from Ballarat to see Erica's sister & family. Erica's daughter, Maddie, & her boyfriend Jack, turned up for the final hour. It has been almost 15 months since we last saw them.

Then we headed out to the Fyshwick area with Evan & Daniel, to the Capital Brewing Co. for drinks & a burger. This place is hidden in a light industrial area & looks very much like the Little Creatures brewery in Fremantle, WA. It was very popular for mid-week, & so, of course, overly expensive. Not your regular drinking place at those prices; $12 for a pint of beer! But it was very nice sitting outside in the warm summer evening.

HE SAID:

Our catch up with Erica and the kids was a good one. We gas-bagged so long that we were better off going straight out to our second social event from the first, rather than going back to Farrer for a bit. They all seemed well and happy.

After picking up Evan and Daniel we headed out to Capital Brewing. It was an enjoyable evening, except for the whole operation being cashless, and the exorbitant pricing! Far out! They know how to charge at this place! When you know that the ingredients of a beer cost a few cents per glass, and you are at the place where the beer was made, paying $12 a glass is highway robbery. I can not see us going there too often.
