One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
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’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 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 […]
As the name subtly implies, this week’s beer is an absolute beast. Specifically, it’s the Sludgebeast Imperial Stout by Adelaide’s Little Bang Brewing. Disclaimers first: this beer is not for the faint of heart. It clocks in at an intimidating 12.5%, which works out to 3.6 standard drinks in a normal 375ml can. Also, as […]
It doesn’t matter where you’re reading this from, these are trying times. And there’s not a whole lot anyone can do about it except for sitting at home, waiting for all this craziness to pass, and trying to find at least little flecks of happiness where we can. For me, one of my flecks of […]
