The XXXX Dry freebies from work are going down nicely with hummus, sun dried tomatoes and peanuts out on the balcony of cabin in Narrabeen.

I’ve been buying that lately as an after work reward can’t believe I’m saying this

Have to admit I really enjoyed it. I don’t drink ink a lot of beers these days but have been bringing home a few of the newer craft beers we stock at work, mainly pale ales and the better half and I agree we don’t really like them, find some of them too fruity, better half said yesterday it was nice to have a beer that tastes like beer.

For the first time since I can remember I smashed a 6-pack of VB stubbies last night.

Such a bad beer that it was good.

Thoroughly enjoyed.

The only time I smash a six pack of VB is if I drop it on the floor at work, honestly haven’t had VB since the time they dropped the alcohol percentage years back and there was such a back lash from people because of it and sales dropped right off. To be honest I haven’t missed it and I can honestly say I could never be bothered drinking it again.

Yeah I get what you mean with Pale Ales, I mean I like them some days and can't even think about having one the next . They are sort of a style of beer I drink when the weather is cooler.
It does seem like every new micro brewery does the Pale Ale thing now.
I have enjoyed a couple of XXXX Drys each arvo and when the hotter weather returns I may go to Blonde beers to help with the lower carbs side of things.

Edit: Don't go there with VB.... Yuk

I dont mind a good pale ale every now and then but as you say every micro brewery seems to be doing them now and with different twists and to be honest some i have tried, half a can is enough, mind you there are still some i like but they are getting few and far between. Where i live in St Peters we have so many breweries so close by in Newtown, Marrickville and St Peters i have lost track of whats around.

Probably for me now a cold Furphy on tap is all I need for a beer when I'm out with the mates.

Had a few random stout/dark beers tonight.

Jindabyne Brewing Black Diamond is a really nice, dry dark beer. White Bay Morning Yearning, smoked porter with coffee & smoked almond. Tastes like it says on the tin, loved it

But the pick was the Range Brewing Morning Ritual stout. Oat & milk stout with vanilla and coconut. It literally tastes like drinking a lamington. Desserty sure, but awesome.

Also got a Dainton Imperial Stout which will stay on the bench at 11%, given all cans were 440s and I have a T20 at 9am

McDonalds really missed a trick by not launching the McScoMo burger..

Furphy crisp. Just like the label describes, an easy drinking later, nothing more, nothing less.

We've finally got our little canning machine running at Shark Island. We'll be using it mostly for the limited release brews, except we had to get The Point Dark Ale as the first batch . Our core beers will still be canned at a bigger place.
We also won a few Bronzes at The Indies the other week, for The Point, Sandshoes XPA and Shiprock Hazey Pale Ale. Not too bad for the first awards we've ever been involved with.

The local Bottleshop was selling them for $10.00 for a 6 pack when you spent over $30.00 bought a few!.
