Demo'd a local brew the other day called Bighead,from Burleigh Brewing Co. Top notch like its western cousin little creatures,but $20 cheaper

$53 bucks from bws (no jeep affiliation)

What local drop do u sink with mates after a session? Extra points if it gives a competitive edge by pregame workout

Rum and coke goes down well after a cracker.

My home brewed Ginger Beer.... powerful stuff, my neighbours had trouble making it back over the fence after the last session, both citing "numb legs" as the problem....


And my latest (just sampling my first batch now) home brewed fejoa prison brew, tasty..... will wait till end of flagon till I estimate it powerfullness.



If splashing out for the bought stuff, any given craft brew on special at the supee is good with me!

Aaaaand to confirm, fejoa homebrew was awesome!


For you kiwis out there: Take the pulp out of a bunch of fejoas and chuck it in a pot with a splash of water.

Boil on low for an hour or 2.

Sieve off the juice into a plastic soft drink bottle.

Add a teaspoon of yeast (Yellow label bread yeast will work, or you can use brewers yeast).

Add a couple of tablespoons of sugar if you want to make it extra potent.

Release the pressure in the bottle a few times a day for the first few days, until it stops fermeting (takes about 5 days).

Drink it, add soda water to mellow it out a bit.


You could do a bigger version in a fermenting bucket with an airlock, but you'd have to secondary ferment it in the bottle to make it fizzy.


And flyingcab, yes my ginger beer is awesome. Sorts the men from the boys, and costs about 50c per big bot

Rider: Fat f***er
Style: Hang on and hope

I've installed a duel battery system and a Engel fridge in the car. My beer is always cold at the end of my session! I buy whatever is on special.

Washes away the salt.

Cold beer is good beer!!

Sometimes I wonder why I'm a fat f***er, but then lose interest in that train of thought.

Here's to your health

Depends on the session. If its a northerely i go great northerns, if i have a whole session without even getting my hair wet i go super dry, and if i land a new trick i guess ill have to try a big head.

Thanks, I'm gonna give that a shot. Sounds more useful than fejoa jam

Any beer as long as its full strength and cold.

Actually temperature is negotiable.

On second thought temperature is not an issue

On third thought strength is not an issue either.

I might have a problem.

I was going to ask what makes it "prison brew" but I think you've just answered that, sounds good though

Yeah..it may be a bit cliched but it easy to drink and usually suits the moment plus a good bit of marketing always gets me...

+1 for Corona after a sesh on the water; but it has to be Cold

Nail Red Ale is a good drop & Mash's copycat isn't too shabby but both are a bit strong straight after kiting

Drink responsibly, share your stoke

quality not quantity, I find most aussies look for the cheapest carton of crap that they can lay their hands on,id rather drink water than most mainstream aussie beers,heres a few im fond of weather dependant
guiness after a solid winter nw frontal
leffe blonde, summer
leffe brun, autumn
james squries, hop theif, anytime,

the leffe is my alltime fave, $113 a carton but worth every cent, actually cheaper if you work out the alcohol content to all those crap mass produced additive loaded beers , cheers

What about a pre-session beer? Anyone into doing that?

I think if you don't overdo it that a small drink before boardsports actually relaxes your muscles a bit and lowers your inhibitions a little opening you up to try new tricks.

Always smash a couple of cans of barbed wire prior to an arvo sess. Like my pre game warm up

Great advise mate. Let's turn the Pond sh@tfight into a Kings Cross style event. Sounds like a relaxing happening to me

... yep, me too, 4 is my perfect number to keep the ratio of attempts to actual high-ish, any more and I clearly kite too relaxed to give a sh!t ie fall alot.

Truth be know, I have been known to have a few before, during and after!

My usual beer is Heinieken when home, Bintang in Indo, 333 in Vietnam but I also believe, "when in Rome do as the Romans" so what ever the local is, I'm in!!!! It's all good!
