One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
For the first brewery of the year, we go back over to Western Australia and Perth’s Otherside Brewing. I’ve already written about Otherside’s DDH Hazy IPA this year and I’d previously had their Anthem IPA, but I was probably unprepared for the breadth and quality of the beers they are putting out. I’ve been on […]
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 […]
South Australia’s strong craft beer credentials are once again on display as this week we head to the Adelaide Hills and Prancing Pony Brewery. Prancing Pony is located in Totness just between Handorf and Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills. I’m not 100% sure whether or not its name has anything to do with the […]
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 brewery, we go back down to Tasmania and Last Rites Brewing Co. Tasmania as a whole, and Hobart in particular, churns out some really excellent and innovative beers. In my humble opinion, Last Rites may well be the best of the lot. Last Rites Brewing Co is located in Cambridge in Hobart’s […]
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 […]
This week the blog takes a long overdue trip to Newcastle and Foghorn Brewhouse. In recent years, Newcastle has started to develop a reputation for trendy and (more importantly) high quality watering holes and eateries. This was my first trip up to Newcastle for a fair while and I was extremely happy to find that […]
This week’s beer is a fantastic dark lager, Blackberry Bambalam from Woolshed Brewery. This one is once again from South Australia (which, as a state, is seriously kicking some craft beer goals). However, unlike other beers and breweries I’ve written about here, this one is neither from Adelaide nor the surrounding hills. Woolshed Brewery is […]
