Got some red angus pilsners for the game tonight.

Have to say i am impressed with it. A longer after taste than the squire pilsner although would like a slightly more bitter pilsner to try.

Montieth pilsner be worth a shot?

Red Angus is an excellent beer. Montieths Pilsener is alright, worth a crack, but for me isn't in the same street as Red Angus.

Thanks for bumping the thread - reminded me it's about the right temperature tonight to get stuck into a Black Sheep Ale that's been on my kitchen bench - a favourite of mine from a stint living in Yorkshire.

Given it was a rubbish day preparing for Penfolds Day tomorrow, I grabbed some beers to suit the inclement weather...Vale Dark, Lord Nelson Old Admiral Dark ale, St Ambrois oatmeal stout and Brooklyn Brown...

Vale Dark was awful, thin and weak. Tasted like molasses and water
Lord Nelson is very nice, lots of toffee

 

[Bazal]

So...this St Ambroise is f**king fantastic!

What to drink tonight. Endeavor Pale Ale or Knappstein Reserve Lager?

That Knappstein Reserve is brilliant stuff imo

 

[thorson1987]

John Boston premium lager. The worst beer ever. Only drinking it cos it's free

Guys don't hate me, but I'm on the Corona's. It's a stinker here on the Gold Coast, so I need something really cold to slam down quick. Plus my pub has Donavon Frankenreiter playing tonight, and the gig is sponsored by Corona, so I need to get some practice in...

Make sure the label is fashionably facing outwards lol.

Seriously dude we're all guilty of drinking shit, especially when it's free. I subjected myself to some Blonde beer I don't care to remember at a wedding a few weeks ago. The couple weren't drinkers and their choice in beer and wine reflected this.

:lol:

The advantage of them is that in an hour I've knocked back 6 of the bastards...

 

[Bazal]

I won't hold it against you...I do hate the stuff though

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

No-one said it was great, just able to drink in volume + at $5 on the night means I don't have to bother going to the bar.

Down to the home brew store this arvo.

Decided to go with Thomas Cooper's Wheat Beer kit. The adjunct has a nice blend of wheat malt and I got a wheat specific yeast to enhance the flavour. Another addition I'm making is some Hellertau Hops for aromas and some small additional flavour. All in all it should be a nice brew. I'm just worried about the possibility of the beer being watery and not maintaining a strong head.

Only problem is I'm out of bottles and space, but I just want to brew more. You've got no idea how nice it makes the laundry smell. I'll have to step up to kegging sooner rather than later.

Anyone want any beers to drink?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Do you deliver to Coolangatta?

DQ Brewery. First order of business is a takeover of CUB and an end of production to all their beers.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Good luck in buying out SABMiller then ;-)

 

[Desert Qlder]

I'll keep Abbotsford Invalid Stout, that'll keep 'em happy

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Thank god for Fosters' reps having an open account...

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Feeling every one of those Corona's right now

 

[dogslife]

I went through a phase where all I ever drank was Draught, kinda off it now. And if you think the VB you get down south is bad, wait till you get a whiff of the shit they brew at Yatala, wretched stuff
