What are you brewing?

Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

    One of my favourite beers going round at the moment is Lakeman Hairy Hop.  Would love to have a crack at brewing something that tastes very similar to this.  Any thoughts anyone might have on grain bill and hop schedule would be hugely appreciated.
