saw some amazing brewery's on our trip. XXXX Milton and CUB Yatala are simply mind blowing.

Stone and Wood have an awesome set up also. Very efficient and really well though out. Such a difference to the Old Brewery.

Anyway, if you haven't already, get onto some Stone and wood Pacific Ale. Its fruity and very refreshing. If lagers are your thing, then their Pale Lager offers malt character, a balanced bitterness and a delicate hop profile.
Jasper is a great darker ale, still offering fruitiness, but with roasted malt up front and a more bitter finish.

So it is possible to make a beer with no taste.



The $7.00 per sixpack price says it all really.

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a 6 pack of sail and anchor premium light just to try something different. Really didn't taste like beer at all. Hardly any after taste either.

If you are after decent cheap beer you cant go past Lowenbrau and Bitburger in my opionion.. Both fully imported and delicious and normally under $40 a slab at woolies...

I drank loads of Bitburger at the Nurburgring when i was there as i think its the towns official beer as its on tap everywhere.. And i pretty much drank Lowenbrau for 2 weeks straight at Oktoberfest as its one of the biggest breweries there with one of the biggest tents there..

Both winners in my book..

Agreed. Löwenbrau and Hofbrau were the two I drank mainly at Oktoberfest. Paulaner also, but only on one night.
Add Oettinger to that list too. 24x500ml cans for $40= win.

Paulaner is awesome but super expensive compared to the others here in Aus..

Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere havest Ale 2012. Epic beer! They use "wet hops" which means the hops are in the kettle 24 hours after theyre harvested. No drying. If you see it, get it. You wont be disappointed. Id say its up there in my top 5 beers of all time.

[vicelore]

I would of thought all big breweries would use fresh hops.. I havent seen any brewing doco`s where they where using dried hops..

[Brett]

pretty much all hops are dried. Its part of the preservation process. If they didnt get dried, they'd go mouldy pretty quick.

Hahaha that story is funny. The whole Trappist brewery thing is funny actually. Especially when you look at what they produce in terms of packaging etc. I dont really get how it works. They must sell the barrels on to someone who bottles it, markets it and does all the other stuff, yeah? I mean look at the goblets. Some of the most expensive looking packaging and glassware out there. Pretty sure they dont do that in their monastery kitchen.

Hi,

Agreed. If they're telling the truth though, I guess they're just raising money for the abbey, so probably have a rep/consultant/agent who does the money making side.

Surely it's not for profit................................surely.
