IndiBeers - everything about beer and much more

I came across this beer forum recently - www.indibeers.com. Love beer and thought I'd check out this forum. Though it is kinda new, loved the idea and have registered there. Would love to see my friends there too.

Though there are beer forums abroad, very rarely do we get to see reviews of beers in India or beers that we get in India. Or they're not written by people from India. Though the IndiBeers mods might not agree, I think that that is what makes this site unique. And yes, IndiBeers accepts and encourages registrations from outside India too. Check it out - register and start writing your own reviews of beers you've had.

Infact, check out these great reviews written by a friend at IndiBeers - http://indibeers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=57

Harley Davidson

Well, I have a feeling the iconic bike makers are gonna foray into the Indian market - finally! Though I would have loved for Triumph to do so, we'll have to settle for Harley.

We were invited for a bike workshop on Saturday by a company that gathers a lot of statistical data and provide groundwork for pre-releases of automobiles. They had some amazing (to say the least) bikes on display and we were asked to rate the bikes on around 20 different criteria. Out of a total of 18 bikes, there were just 2 Indian bikes!. And out of this 18, 8 were Harley Davidsons!. Drool Drool. Though I am not the biggest fan of the Harley, it was near-heaven to be able to touch, feel and see these amazing pieces of machinery! I loved the Harley Davidson Ultra Classic the most. Beautiful bike - all complete with speakers, ABS and an awesome back seat. Would love to ride across long stretches of good road in the back seat - with a beer in my hand! :)

One other model that I was so damn happy to see was the Sportster. As mentioned about a year ago on this blog itself, I was looking forward to seeing this bike and I was drooling all over the Sportster. Sat on it and the stance was awesome. I loved the Nightster too but the damn thing had such a lousy sound to it and when I sat on it, I knew that your back would go for a toss on long rides!

Loved the Harley Night Rod too....beautiful looking bike. But didn't like the stance again.

Well, there were some other bikes that I have always wanted to see to - MV Agusta and the Ducati. Another model that I don't think you can ever lay your hands on here in India was the Cagiva.

Blown away by these bikes, "Balls" asked whether we could go and down a couple of beers at the Windsor pub quite close by. Happy to, we were off and actually sat there for a looong time. Downing beer after beer accompanied by awesome Pork, Beef and great company is simply awesome. The manager - Satish, who we know through our RTMC association also suggested some great food. The food was simply awesome. Finished it all with some awesome Kappa and Meen Curry!

Aaah! Sigh! - of utmost satisfaction. Great weekend.

Kingfisher Heavy Metal Blogger Meet / Iron Maiden in Bangalore

Ok, all ye Maiden fans - and I mean Iron Maiden fans - put on your best black Maiden T-shirts, start a blog somewhere, register on Indiblogger and make it to the Kingfisher sponsored Heavy Metal Blogger meet.

Ah, well, dammit all! Just make it for the Heavy Metal Blogger meet!

Kingfisher premium is sponsoring the meet this time - so you know what that means! You will get Kingfisher Premium Bottled Water! Wink wink! Love the Indiblogger poster on that site!!.

Anyways, this is to be held the day before Iron Maiden blows the town to smithereens. So get down on your knees - assume an attitude!

The first time Iron Maiden came to India, I went bonkers and started an Iron Maiden week on my blog.

I started off the series of posts with 6 days to go for the Maiden concert.

My next post - with 5 days to go was about the album Killers and especially "Murders in the Rue Morgue". Di'Anno at his best.

Another day and 4 days to go got me more pepped up. I realised that I cannot cover a song from a Maiden album a day - so pushed it to 3 albums a day!. Wrote about songs from "Number of the Beast", "Powerslave" and "Piece of Mind".

3 days to go and I think I lost my math somewhere - X Factor was covered - one of my favourite Maiden albums!.

Got down to some of the latest albums with the last 2 days.

The last post was post the Maiden concert! Even at that time, I was waiting for the next Maiden concert with all the old songs. Sometimes, dreams come true!
