Birthday Beers

 
Twas my birthday the other day, we had a really small party as Jane was ill with a flu so twas just me and a few of the lads for a 'quiet' beer or two. I made these beers especially for the occasion. Both are pretty basic lagers (kinda like carlsberg) except for one ingredient (both ingredients do the same job in the fermentation process but one costs twice as much as the other, so i wanted to see if it made any difference), so it ws kinda like a pepsi challenge.
 
Here are the kegs fully loaded. Both beers were fine, but the general verdict was that the more expensive one was better (it was about $3 more for the fancy ingredient)
 
And just to give you an idea of the temperature over here at the moment, this was taken at about 5pm on my birthday. No wonder we were so thirsty.
