One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
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 is an absolute belter. It’s a collaboration between the excellent Garage Project (whose praises I’ve sung previously) and the equally amazing Trillium. It’s a hazy IPA that perfectly encapsulates everything about that beer genre. And it’s called Sunrise Valley. Hazy IPA’s have been the trendy beer of choice for much of the […]
I know it’s only been a few weeks since I last wrote about them and their fantastic Detonate IPA, but Little Rivers’ Kumma Gutza Double IPA has compelled me to take the blog back to Scottsdale, Tasmania once again. As I mentioned in my previous Detonate post, I had tried some of Little Rivers’ core […]
This week’s beer comes from another excellent Tasmanian craft brewery, Little Rivers Brewing from Scottsdale in the northeast of the state. I love my hops and I love my IPA’s, so what I say next I do not say lightly: their Detonate IPA isn’t just good, it’s a genuine knock-your-socks-off great beer. As with Ocho […]
For this week’s beer we venture back to Sydney’s Inner West for Nectar of the Hops New England IPA by Willie the Boatman. Willie the Boatman knows how to make a good ale. And their NEIPA ticks every last one of the boxes as far as I’m concerned. I do love a NEIPA. However, some […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
