Carlton Brewery Tour

Today Andrea and I toured the Carlton Brewery here on the Gold Coast. Although we chose it purely out of convenience, it happened to be the 2nd largest brewery in Australia, supplying for 25% of all Australia's alcohol needs. The production line was amazing! There were so many bottles shuffling along the production line that their bumping racket was deafening!

We ended the tour with a tasting session...at which it became apparent that Andrea and I should have eaten lunch before going. We were raucous, tipsy girls...but I have no fear that we altered anyone's perception of Americans for the worse. Fosters may be Australian for piss (the Aussie's love that one, Jeff!) but there are some decent beers out here!

Other than that, there's not much to say. But I thought I'd supply a before and after picture for general amusement. Enjoy!
