Young Henry's "Newtowner"

This is Kent Old Brown on Paul Gallen's peptides. Darkish yet easy drinking. Bitter but not overpowering. Caramel flavours but not sweet. This is genuinely very good draught beer.

St Peters Brewing Blonde.

I am a self professed wheat beer hater (check the thread). This however is something very different. Gone are the banana fruit summer island flavours. This is more banana bread with a big heap of cinnamon. For a regular draught beer, this is outstanding.

lol. The fact you posted those so close to each other identifies why you're a little tipsy.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

It also identifies I am not in Roverwood, meaning my options aren't VB or Carlton Draught...

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

They also may have been my 16th and 18th standard drink for the day ;-)

Becker has beer?

I'm sure David Becker would indulge in one if he was in Chile.....but yes amigo, the brewery and brand name is Becker!

Eclectic selection this evening. Stubby of 4 Pines Pale Ale, bottle of their Keller Door IPA, bottle of Franziskaner Dunkel and Hefe and a Little Creatures Puffing Billy...

 

[Noa]

Stone & Wood Stone beer
Leffe radieuse
Erdinger Pinkatus

In that order to wash down the homemade pizza.

Burleigh Brewing FIGJAM IPA. Actually quite disappointed by this. I'm a big fan of Brendan and Peta at Burleigh, but this is a miss for me. The bitterness is akin to licking a band-aid as opposed to a quality hop bitterness. Tastes quite cheap, not an $12 a longneck beer.

Stick with their Black Giraffe coffee dark beer. That is a very good drink with buckets of flavour.

Aussies are shit at making IPA

Tried the 2013 Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere release the yestrerday.

Didnt like it as much as last years from memory, not as hoppy, still a nice drop though.

Not true. The Ferel Brewing Hop Hog IPA is a cracker.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Wicked Elf Cellar Release Porter. Very delicious, caramel mocha flavour with a nice smooth finish. 6.2% ABV too, so nice buzz going too.

 

[Noa]

Not true. The Ferel Brewing Hop Hog IPA is a cracker.

I thought it was ordinary as far as IPA's go. I liked it but like australian chinese take-a-way felt it was a bit dumbed down

 

[Bazal]

Hop Hog is just about my favourite beer at the moment, absolute belter IMO. Interested in what you'd rate above it so I can give it a go!

 

[Noa]

Maybe its just my palete but after drinking IPA from the US I find ours a bit meek & mild.

Did like the hop-hog though.

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot ale, great drop. Not for the faint of heart though. Got it the local bottle shop in altona a month or so ago. Only a small outlet but impressive range of beers.

 

[BDR]

Hawthorn Premium Pale Ale tonight. Decent, nothing special. For the same price I'd greatly prefer 28 Pale from Burleigh.

Don't know how I got through my first 21 years without ever drinking an ale. Magnificent things they are.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

They leave lagers for dead. Not a massive fan of IPAs but happy to give them a try.
This was just too much for me though:

I had a Dogfish beer last night that was 11%. Can't remember the name of it though. It screwed me!! I stopped drinking it because it was too much and then forgot that I thought that, and bought another one.... LOL I'm not very bright

Bar tab last night. Still got VBs. I regret nothing
