\"Beer<\/a>
Beer 121 tasting session lineup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m not sure if any \/ many of you are sufficiently curious about this to actually push play — whether to eavesdrop on a tasting session, or just to have a sample of my peculiar untraceable accent (and occasionally-substantial lisp) — but we had buckets<\/em> of fun doing this ‘Beer 121: New Zealand Beer for Americans’<\/a> thing, and so I’ll share it regardless.<\/p>\n

Two of the attendees proved themselves deviously useful: Jessie (a Californian friend and the catalyst for the event) surreptitiously recorded the proceedings on her fancypantsphone, and George (who was learning to use Audacity<\/a> for an upcoming beer-related podcast project we’re working on — about which more very soon indeed<\/em>) edited the thing into beer-sized chunks, and pruned out the more extreme you-had-to-be-there tangents and irrelevances.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

The original post<\/a> probably makes for something ranging between helpful and compulsory companion reading, since I used the space there to explain what was going on in my brain when I chose the lineup. I’ve also added ‘show notes’ to each beer here, to provide references \/ ramblings \/ corrections as required.<\/p>\n

Hopefully-temporary note, 31 May 2011:<\/strong> Apologies for the absence of an in-post player. The whatsit that was generating those turns out to be conflicting with the whatsit that handles the gorgeous pop-up display doodads for my photos and Diary<\/em> scans. As you can tell by the handwavey substitute-words, there, I’m not quite<\/em> geeky enough to sort that out on my own, just yet. And since every<\/em> post has pop-up images, but only this one<\/em> had audio files in this format, something had to give. They should still work as downloads or as in-browser plays, though…<\/p>\n
