One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
This week the blog takes a return trip to Melbourne. We go to a brewery that has thus far been criminally overlooked by the blog: 3 Ravens Brewery. The good people at 3 Ravens make a number of excellent beers and have a cool name based on Norse mythology. Further, 3 Ravens, is apparently the […]
After last week’s visit to blog-favourite Dainton Brewery, this week we visit another favourite: Adelaide’s Big Shed Brewing Concern. This time it’s for their limited release Violet No-Regard Blue Beer. This is a weird one for me. It came recommended (thank you Tamara), but I really didn’t have a whole lot to go on other […]
This week we’re heading down to a favourite of the blog: Dainton Brewery in Melbourne. This time it’s for their brilliant Amplifier Hazy IPA. Dainton has been featured a fair bit on this blog for their funky beers (see Pickle Dan and B’easter Egg). But Amplifier is a firm reminder that these guys aren’t just […]
So it’s been a fair while since my last post. Work, lockdowns, and various other life forces have drawn my focus elsewhere. But as of now, the blog is officially back and I’ll be resuming weekly posts from here on out. Now, all that being said, the blog is making its return this week with […]
I usually focus this blog almost exclusively on Australian craft beers with a couple of occasional Kiwi brews thrown in for good measure. But given the recent 4th of July holiday in the States and my connections back there, I thought it might be an appropriate time of year to bring out one of my […]
For the purposes of this blog, I do try to avoid going back to the same brewery too often. But, at the same time, sometimes I’ll have a beer that’s just too damn good, and it doesn’t matter if I’ve just written about the brewery or not. Such is the case with this week’s beer […]
This week’s beer comes from a blog regular: Hope Brewery from the Hunter Valley. However, in a bit of a change of pace, for the first time in quite a while, this Hope post will not be about one of their awesome sours. This time, it’s their massive F-11.1% Jet Red IIIPA. Let’s get it […]
This week’s beer comes from the Blue Mountains and Katoomba’s Mountain Culture Beer Co. I’ve had a number of excellent beers from Mountain Culture (specifically the Double Red IPA and the brilliant Be Kind Rewind). And this one is right up there. It’s one of their excellent limited releases: Danger Zone Double Oat Cream IPA. […]
For this week’s beer we come back to Sydney’s Inner West with another visit to Wayward Brewing. This time it’s for the brilliant limited release: RSA Hazy IIPA. Wayward is one of my favourites. Their range is great, their venue is even better, and the beer is of consistently excellent quality. But with all that […]
This week’s beer once again comes from the Kiwi champions of craft, Garage Project. It’s a brilliant concoction called Galaxy Valley Hazy Double IPA. Last year I wrote about Sunrise Valley, the collaboration between Garage Project and Massachusetts’ Trillium Brewing. That was, and still is, the best hazy I’ve ever had. Bar none. No qualifiers. […]
