Tried my homebrew stout, that I used aniseed lollies to carry out secondary ferment with, last night. Only been bottled 1.5 weeks but it's soooo much better than I though it would be. The aniseed does dominate the flavours though. I'd do it again, but use less aniseed lolly.

Nogne-o - Really nice
Bridge Roads (from the mouth of the head brewer, nice guy BTW, of nogne-o) - Its not as good

Hahaha, what?

blend with some of the coffee bean stout ? just a dribble ?


im hitting up some Rouge Hazelnut nectar, mmmmm (I think I posted about it before... smells like brown ale and hazelnut oddly enough)

Mikkellor BGB was pretty good. Lived up to the hype I thought.

Thought I'd give these a try...



The Grand Ridge I've had before but I cant remember what is was like.

I went looking for some Moo Brew but alas, there was none.

Wingwalker do a really good IPA.

The rest is rubbish.

Roger. I'll keep an eye out.

The rest is rubbish.

So what about the 6pack of Carlton Draught that's not in the pic?

Hi Jase,

Try this;

I'd call first though, heaps of stockist lists on the internet are out of date.

Kosciusko is Chuck Hahn. Pretty big name in Australian brewing!

Budjoveicki Budvar is awesome. It's the original Budweiser, but don't let that fool you, it tastes awesome. I still buy a six pack pretty much every time I'm in Perth.

Cheers,
Nik

what? Budvar rubbish? Id put it up there with Pilsner Urquel tbh.
@ Jase - The Wingwalker Belgian Wheat Ale is really hoppy. Infact AMSy I think you'd like it. Think of it more like an APA but with a wheat malt finish.

Absolutely!

ooh nearly forgot. Had to drop off some beer at Cellarbrations Carlisle last night, so figured Id pick up a couple while I was there.
Temple Midnight IPA, and Collaborator (Feral-Two birds collaboration brew done especially for Good beer Week Spectapular)

Also picked up a 4 pk of Hop hog, simply because I wanted an awesome, no thinking, beer to drink when I got home.

We were drinking half litre steins of Budvar for about $2aud when we were in Prague. Fricking win, and went so well with the local Goulash and potato dumplings.

Hi,

Was there some sort of recompense offered?

Did you drink the Temple? Very keen to hear what you thought.

Cheers,
Nik

[Brett]

nah nothing. I got 10% discount, but i think thats just because of trade.

Didn't have either the Temple or the collaboration last night. Just the Hogs.

[RX25SE]

local Goulash and potato dumplings.

Was the Goulash more like a soup or a stew?

[Brett]

More like a stew Jase.

@Nik - having the temple midnight ipa. Meh. In all honesty I prefer 'legs Black market. There's a hop characteristic which isn't working for me. Bramling cross maybe. The 7% is certainly not apparent. Could consume many of them.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

Wow. It must be shit out of bottle. It absolutely blows Black Market away.

Cheers,
Nik

[Brett]

it wasn't shit, but the pint of Black market I had around at the leg last week was pretty 'ing good. It might just be a preference thing. I just didn't think the hops were right for it.

Sierra nevada Hoptimum. HOLE E SHEET. Soooo much hops. Whole hops too. Big Grapefruit citrus flavours. Epic sweet malt backing it up too. Which isn't surprising considering its 10% ABV.
