Keeping Beer In Mind....

Let us not drift far from the golden path,and if you do and end up in croatia here are a few local guides I suggest you use to help find your way back on it. This green number actualy comes from Solvenia but is worthy on a place on all balken tables,a nice froffy lager that is best served in big gulpes and taken with some local pickles and durries.
Another fine Lager brewed in Zagreb and probably the most common brand I encountered thruout Croatia. I suggest the bottles if your drinking on the streets as it can be used as a weapon and also if you leave it on the street it provides revenue for the less fortunate as you get a refund for the bottle,as for the can I did not see any sort of recycle facilities.

No its not bread and not related to the peter we all know. But yes its beer,from a very old brewery somewhere in Croatia{forgot where exactly} But tasty all the same. Remember to drink cold and cost around 1 pound per liter.


For the lovers of a good dark this was the only one I saw and quite lucky really as the taste was

great,smooth but must be cold. On only on my 3rd when i stood up and my knees nearly gave way did i check the label and see the healthy 8.5 per cent alcohol level. nuff said.
Brewed also in Zagreb and more difficult to find.

Well hope you keep the beer in mind and no matter what if consummed correctly the above should end up the result. These were a just a sample of many beers found in Croatia and although i tried a few more the camera wasn't always handy,thou they were all drinkable.
Enjoy.

Happy Bearthday!

Am a little late to post this, but nonetheless:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEARSKIN!!!
May the force be with ya.
For those of you who dont know yet... Bear is having a party tomorrow and you are ALL invited. For those on the other side of the planet, tune into Skype on Sunday morning and there is a good chance that you will end up in a Chalk Farm Massive Conference call. If this thought scares you... good idea to switch your skype status to offline ;o)
Am sure some crazy pics are soon to follow.
Ciao for now.
xxoxoxoxo

P.S: May the force also be with the Australian and French Rugby teams!!

Colombia Files







Jane and I thought you might all appreciate a brief report from Colombia - the land where they serve coffee with a little straw which I think is a very polite way of facilitating our nocturnal activities seeing as the notes don´t roll so well. Not that we´ve indulged in such activities .... yet. We´ve been lucky enough to be otherwise occupied with quite a lot of ayahuasca taking. Ayahuasca is DMT based and taken traditionally by indians in South America in a ceremony with a shaman. Its pretty mind blowing stuff causing a fair bit of vomiting and running to the toilet but the pay off is worth it. You literally lose yourself for several hours and are off in another world filled with visions and energy and spirits. Life is never the same again after a strong ayahuasca experience. And our second day in Colombia our friend Christian took us to see a shaman friend for such an experience. We spent the next 2 weeks in San Agustin with visits from shamans every other night. Quite a special time. We´ve also been trekking to magical jungle waterfalls, thermal springs, horse-riding to precolombian ruins and just soaking up the beauty of this area. Now its on to Cali for the weekend and maybe a chance to put our straws to use. The first photo you see here of Jane is what happens when you´re cheeky to the paramilitary. They stop buses regularly and do searches with mean looking guns.. Jane caught the wrong end of one for her smart mouth. Further down is us monging on Christian´s balcony. Next is us with a shaman who is apparently entranced by Jane´s gigantic height and then us on top of the world in Ecuador.

We're starting the blog again!

Hi there fixers - letting you know that after several months of closed board room sessions the green light has been given to start the colisa course blog again. Slowly but surely we will get it out to y'all and might even have some latest Britny news.
Yeah.
