One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
This week’s brewery is once again from my recent travels to South Australia (back when that was still allowed). It’s from Adelaide and is Little Bang Brewing. I had been aware of Little Bang Brewing for some time and had even written a post about their excellent Sludgebeast a little while back. But I hadn’t […]
South Australia’s McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula produce some of the best wine in Australia. But if you’ve had your fill of wine and instead perhaps fancy some excellent craft beer to be enjoyed in the company of large fluffy dogs, then you’re in luck. In the sleepy town of Myponga, just past McLaren […]
This week the blog returns from a brief, work-enforced hiatus with a return to an old favourite in a flashy new venue: Big Shed Brewing Concern. I was lucky enough to head over to Adelaide for work last week (or unlucky enough when you take the Covid developments from later in the week). Adelaide is […]
This week’s beer comes from the Blue Mountains and Katoomba’s Mountain Culture Beer Co. It’s a mouthful of punchy hoppy haze called Be Kind Rewind DDH IPA. My first introduction to Mountain Culture was a sample pack of their beers a good mate of mine got me for my birthday this year. The beers were […]
This week’s beer comes once again from Melbourne’s Hawkers Beer. Previously this blog featured Hawkers’ Freedom Units Triple NEIPA. This beer is almost as far away on the beer spectrum as possible. It’s officially the first baklava barley wine I’ve ever had (and I’m guessing it’d be yours too) and it’s awesome and it’s called […]
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 […]
