I don't know how long it will last, but a keg of Friek made it to the North Bar in Leeds:

Wow... as a temporarily retired home brewer... Wow!

Here's the story of Eric's beer if people didn't know (I didn't).

That's awesome! And it gives me some hope that some may turn up down my way sometime.
There seems to be new (to us at least) beers arriving from the US all the time
We have Good Beer Week (http://www.goodbeerweek.com.au/) starting here in two weeks, and I can't wait

Hey, you know you've made it when your beer makes it over to Portugal? Hey, like trading a Nacional 1997 in hopes of a 1994, you could offer a six pack for every bottle of 2011 Vintage Port? :lol:

In all seriousness, CONGRATULATIONS Eric, this really is a pretty fantastic achievement! :scholar:

I figure when I make it back to the Douro I'll take a wine shipping box full of my beer and give them out to producers as I make space for Port bottles. Last release the Friek was $18 each, so x6 = $108. I hope the 2011s are a little cheaper than that.
