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 […]
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 […]
This week we return to a favourite brewery of the blog (and #9 in the recent to 20), Dainton Brewery. Dainton primarily make two types of beer: awesome hoppy varieties of IPA’s, and weird, funky out-there concoctions. And the quality of the former, often convinces me to try more of the weird stuff than I […]
Rank: #9 Location: Carrum Downs, VIC (Melbourne) Favourite Beers: DIPA, The Raider Single Hop NEIPA, Shark Punch Tropical Aussie IPA Previous Blog Appearances: DIPA, Pickle Dan Reuben Rye Ale Number 9 on the list is surprisingly the first Victorian brewery as well. I may have overlooked a few down there, but we’re too deep into […]
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 […]
For this week’s beer we head down to Melbourne (figuratively of course) for Hawkers Beer’s brilliant Freedom Units Triple NEIPA. I’ve meant to write about this one for a little while now. To be honest it was probably hurt by the fact that I had it just after the staggeringly good Sunrise Valley Hazy and […]
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 […]
I’ll warn you now, this week’s beer is a weird one, Pickle Dan Rye Ale from Dainton Brewery. I’ll add a few more additional prefaces as well before proceeding. This is a weird beer. There’s no two ways about it. It’s also not one of my absolute favourites (like most of the beers I usually […]
This week’s beer comes from Temple Brewing in Brunswick East in the inner suburbs of Melbourne and is the first sour for the blog, Okinawa Sour Blonde Ale. First things first, sours are obviously not everybody’s cup of tea (to use a slightly confusing and probably only vaguely applicable metaphor). I certainly don’t love them […]
For the first, but definitely not the last, time in this blog, I will be writing today about a beer from Dainton Brewery in Victoria. I have yet to have a bad beer from Dainton (and I’ve tried a fair few) but today it’s the DIPA Double IPA I’d like to share. This beer is […]
