One man's ongoing love letter to hoppy beverages
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The beer I’m recommending this week is easily one of my top 5 favourite beers full stop: Pirate Life IIPA. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I aim to mainly highlight and recommend independent Australian breweries and their wares. As some may know, Pirate Life was purchased by a large brewing conglomerate last year. Had […]
This week’s brewery is another purveyor of excellent beers from South Australia, Big Shed Brewing Concern. Big Shed resides in the industrial area of Royal Park in Adelaide’s western suburbs. As soon as you pull up outside the place, you can tell it means business (that business naturally being the production of delicious beer). Walking […]
This week’s beer is another gem from South Australia: Sundown Sacrifice DIPA from Uraidla Brewery in the Adelaide Hills. I was recently in Adelaide for work and stopped in to a small bottle shop for supplies for the week. I asked the guy behind the counter for a good local beer that I wouldn’t necessarily […]
I was travelling for work last week so I was super slack and missed the last week’s beer entry. So this week, I’m going to do a two-for to make up for it. The beer that will form the first half of the two-for is a hoppy malty caramelly kick in the taste buds called […]
