One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
This week’s beer is the simply named, but also simply delicious Red IPA from Victoria’s Bad Shepherd Brewing Co. As anyone who’s glanced at the blog would know, a red IPA is my personal favourite genre of beer by a decent margin. So I can be admittedly a little picky with which ones I enjoy […]
This week’s beer is a hoppy blast from a new Wollongong area brewery: Double Dump IIPA from Resin Brewing in Bulli. Resin Brewing had the misfortune of having their grand opening in March this year. Given all the happenings in the world at the moment, not the best time to start a small brewery. I […]
It doesn’t matter where you’re reading this from, these are trying times. And there’s not a whole lot anyone can do about it except for sitting at home, waiting for all this craziness to pass, and trying to find at least little flecks of happiness where we can. For me, one of my flecks of […]
This week’s beer is the Dark Red IPA from the Central Coast’s Six String Brewing Co. My love of a red IPA is well documented (in this blog at least) and this is absolutely one of the best, punchiest red IPA’s out there. Six String does a number of quality beers in their standard range. […]
This week’s beer is quite simply a beast. It’s a collaboration between Baldivis Cellarbrations, Forward Hops, and Against the Grain Brewery from Kentucky and it’s called Not Here to Fornicate with Arachnids (a sanitized version of a popular Aussie idiom for anyone reading from overseas). This is a massive beer, but holy cow it’s good. […]
Black IPA’s may not be everyone’s cup of tea (or beer as it were). Personally, I do tend to enjoy them if they’re well made. However, finding a really good black IPA is no easy task. Frederick India Black from Uralla’s New England Brewing in northern New South Wales is one of the most well-done […]
For this week’s beer, we go back to Queensland for just the second time. Black Hops Brewing from the Gold Coast does some killer beers, but my favourite I’ve had the opportunity to try is their Hornet IPA. This beer is super hoppy, but not in an upfront, kick-you in the teeth hoppy kind of […]
There was a time when every crafty brewery in Australia was pumping out a hazy IPA just for the sake of it. That may no longer be the case, but that does mean that those that are still being produced are being produced with deliciousness rather than just trendiness in mind. And DDH Hazy IPA […]
I’m going to start this week’s post with a big call: Hope Brewery’s Imperial Mango Sour is my favourite sour beer that I’ve ever had. Ever. As I’ve mentioned a few times on the blog, I certainly don’t mind a sour from time to time. However, they’re also generally not my number one go-to beer […]
For this week’s beer we venture back over to New Zealand (and, as with Tuatara, Wellington specifically) for Boss Level Ultra IPA by Garage Project. Garage Project are a truly excellent brewery (I’ve got 3 different varieties in my fridge at the moment). It might be a big call, but I think Boss Level Ultra […]
