I just ordered a case. Wasn´t that expensive actually. About 90 USD for 20 bottles. I´ll leave you a report when I tried it! Its about 10 days of delivery before I can pick it up.

I´m used to bottles actually. Needless to say with a little one and another on its way I see very little of bars these days!

$2.25/bottle is "not that expensive"?! My local liquor store (granted, best in the metro DC area IMO) is typically $9-10 USD per 6-pack, or $1.50-1.67 per bottle. The more local it is, the cheaper - down to $7 at the cheapest. The most expensive is Rogue, from the west coast, at around $14 or so - or about what you're paying. Still! FWIW, it costs me about 1/3 what you pay to make my own . You should look into it. Not only is it cheap, but you get oodles of beer out of it and it's fun! And it makes your place smell like beer for an entire night. Even if all you do is make hoppy beers - those are really, really easy.

Hehe, in Sweden we have the second highest tax on alcohol in the world. Of those 90 USD about half is tax. We have this strange monopoly on alcohol is Sweden. Only the government is allowed to sell alcohol in closed containers. In return they are required to import anything you want (within reason of course).

So while it sound expensive I don´t think its that bad to pay 2 hours of pay to get 12 bottles of ale imported for you from the states and delivered to your closest delivery point. The Heelch wasn´t available in their stock so it was imported. A bottle of Fullers for example is 1/3rd of a Heelch. Thats about 2,3 USD for a 330ml bottle.

A couple of friends and I are actually looking for a place to brew our own beer. None of us have space available at home sadly! The problem is as usual time. We all have work and families and getting out on weekends looking at possible locations seems to be quite low on the priority scale.

Joc, time when home brewing isn't that much. The space though kind of grows. Been a few years since I did any (though DW was murmuring that it may be a good idea). Once (if) you find a place I'd be happy to answer any questions that arise.

Thank you! Finding a good enough location within a reasonable drive distance that doesn´t cost a fortune is harder when then you think. I live in the capital and prices here are insane. We were looking for something "garage sized" at least. But none of us want to drive an hour to get there. Hopefully we will find something eventually!

So, I know some of you, perhaps all of you have been a bit frustrated with me lately... I have been a busy little bee behind the scenes of this AAR though. So place your bets gentlemen! Where are we going?

Garage-sized?! So you want a big time operation, then. Brewing up full kegs at once? With a turkey cooker and propane? That's serious business.

Since you didn't quiiiite crop out the hints of land around the edges, I'm going to spend a lot of time scrolling about the map before I submit my guess.

Edit - actually, looking at the TF info screen tells me all I need to know. Your Endure Needed is only 360, which means it's only 9 hexes from where they're currently sitting to their destination and then back to their home port. That really narrows it down.

You're going to Formosa? That's the only place I can think of where you would land 300,000 troops within 9 hexes of something you've already got. Your TFs are set to home port at Aparri.

If I'm wrong, it has to be Hainan instead.

I should have specified I meant a Swedish sized garage and not an american sized one! You know. Place for one normal sized car...

Ah, thats a pretty good guess. Well thought out! But not correct!

Sumatra then. Only other place you're close enough to a home port. 300k seems like overkill!


Even a brewing space the size of a garage for a sedan is pretty large. I used to brew in a 10x10 kitchen, and I only used the stove while storing the fermenter under the table! Next to no impact on my available space. Taking up an entire garage would be some heavy brewing.
