One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
This week’s beer marks this blog’s third trip back to Murtho, South Australia and Woolshed Brewery. I’ve previously written about the equally excellent Blackberry Bambalam and Great Southern Trendkiller. But I dare say this week’s beer might top them both. It’s the fantastic Scorched Almond Porter. As I’ve written about previously, flavoured dark beers are […]
This week’s beer is from Fremantle’s Otherside Brewing. It’s an experimental release, and it’s an imperial American brown ale called Woody Barrelson. I had the good fortune to visit Otherside in person at the very beginning of this year before the world descended into the depths of the plague and normal life hit a fairly […]
This week we rectify a significant oversight for this blog. I’ve been writing this for well over a year now, and have yet to write about one of my favourite breweries: Modus Operandi. And, for my money, the pick of their impressive range of beverages is the Former Tenant Red IPA. The Modus Operandi name […]
This week’s beer comes all the way from Leederville in Perth and Nowhereman Brewing. I believe it is also my first barely wine I’ve written about as well. It’s punchy, it’s complex, it’s Mt Otter’s Barley Wine. I was lucky enough to make it over to Nowhereman in person last year. But, for obvious COVID-y […]
This week’s beer comes from Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve written about a few Kiwi beers previously (Garage Project and Tuatara specifically) but this is the first from Auckland. Auckland doesn’t quite have the craft beer reputation of Wellington. But this beer shows there’s some very good things happening there. It’s a fantastic Double Hazy IPA […]
For this week’s beer we head down to Melbourne (figuratively of course) for Hawkers Beer’s brilliant Freedom Units Triple NEIPA. I’ve meant to write about this one for a little while now. To be honest it was probably hurt by the fact that I had it just after the staggeringly good Sunrise Valley Hazy and […]
As the name subtly implies, this week’s beer is an absolute beast. Specifically, it’s the Sludgebeast Imperial Stout by Adelaide’s Little Bang Brewing. Disclaimers first: this beer is not for the faint of heart. It clocks in at an intimidating 12.5%, which works out to 3.6 standard drinks in a normal 375ml can. Also, as […]
This week’s beer comes from One Drop Brewing in Sydney. I’d heard good things about some of their hoppier offerings and Twisted Fate DDH IIPA most definitely did not disappoint. With Twisted Fate, ‘hoppy’ is the key adjective. There are definitely some big bold malts happening as well, but I’m not sure I’d go so […]
As I alluded to a few weeks back, Hope Brewery churns out some of the best sours I’ve ever had. In fact, this will be the third of their sours I’ve written about for this blog (after the Imperial Mango Sour and Sunny Boy Sour). But I had to write about just one more before […]
This week’s beer goes all the way back to my very first post on this blog a year and a bit ago. It comes from Reub Goldberg Brewing Machine in Tarawanna (Wollongong). It’s a big, bitey, glorious red IPA simply called the Jack the RIPA. Reub Golberg is a fantastic little brewery in the suburbs […]
