Kauai Island Brewery & the Na Pali Coast
This the last of the “up my sleeve” posts from the #botf trip to Hawaii last April. Now and then your #botf correspondents complete epic feats before rewarding themselves with some quality crafties. This missive is one of those. Joining …
Pearl Harbour & Honolulu Beerworks
Another one in the series of better late than never posts. Have had this post up the my sleeve for an age. It is become the modus operandi of your #botf correspondents to combine a cultural/sporting activity with an offspring …

I’ve been back on the Melbourne shuttle a little lately. A couple of weeks ago, I was walking “hotelwards” along Flinders Lane. Back in the early 2000s, I spent plenty of time in this part of time, so much so, …

“Help me pick up some furniture at Somersby, Dad?”. “Sure, so long as we can have lunch at Foghorn in Erina“. “Done deal”. Don’t be put off by the empty tables in the photos – we were very early first …
Union Electric, the Supper Inn and Boilermaker House – Melbourne magic

@FiveBarrels Hoppy Amber – TRY IT
Recently, one of Back of the Ferry’s favourite* (beer) blogs put up a post on Five Barrel Brewing. This is a new brewery in Wollongong and read the back story on Beer is your Friend. I used to get to …
