Isn't what I'm going to do today. That's not what this blog is about. Well, I suppose it is. but not today. I'm going o be looking forward. To next year.
It should be an interesting and varied year.
For a start, I already have three trips to South America planned. Brazil in March, Chile in April and Argentina in June. I wouldn't mind a few more trips that way, if hey can e arranged. As you may have noticed, I quite like it down that way.

The big trip of the year, with the kids, is scheduled to be Australia. Three weeks or so.the provisional itinerary is Singapore, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Cairnes. And possibly Auckland, as Andrew fancies going to New Zealand. I's just a question of if we can fit it in.
I wouldn't mind a trip to the USA in May. It's been getting harder for me to organise stuff in the USA. Not sure why. I haven't been there much since COVID. Just he once this year. Not quite sure where I'd like to go. Somewhere I've not been before would be nice. I was thinking of May. Though other months are available. Suggestions are welcome.
I also need to get to Cork to finish off the Murphy's records. Not sure when that might be. I plan taking Andrew with me to speed up he process. And to give him a chance to ride an Irish train.
Any other suggestions for travel are also welcome. Especially if it's somewhere I've not been before.
Oh, and I plan releasing "Keg!". My book about UK brewing in the 1970s. I just need to finish off the brewery guide.

Andrew will be disappointed with the Irish trains. Not the beer though.
If you get to you should try Toohey’s old.

That's an incredible amount of travel. I wonder if it might just make sense for you to move to South America, maybe nextdoor to a cachaca distillery.
Why Cairns, QLD? It's a grossly overrated, hot sweaty dump ruined by property developers and you wouldn't want to be wandering around there after dark.
Brisbane has really scrubbed up well over the last few decades - an attractive river city with plenty of craft breweries and pubs. And a half decent public transport system.
I suspect your lack of invites to the US is partially due to the declining fortunes of craft beer.. More breweries closed than opened in 2024. Maybe change the name of your blog to "Shut up About White Claw!"?
Not a bad drop but I prefer White Rabbit open fermented Dark Ale. The ale scene is huge in Australia, not just craft breweries but the big guys now have a range of ales back in production, many of them quite drinkable.
Coopers dark is great, apparently inspired by Brains Dark when a Coopers family member visited Wales.
The only thing I can remember about Cairns is the vending machine in the backpackers which dispensed VB
