Beer discussion

[mighty_tiger_79]

im researching different ways to come up with a home brew. Looking at producing a bevvie that doesnt have as much of the home brew taste - which looks like it means more time to mature. But i dont mind that providing I can come up with a decent brew. im under no illusions and i do think the first one or 2 may not be completely what im looking for. If im on the right track ill keep it going.

I rate the Barons range of beers..couple of Lagers tonight going down nicely

An article in the news today is saying that low carb beers are just a gimic, and are not significantly healthier than standard beer:

I must admit, I've been duped then. I've been drinking it thinking it was a healthier alternative.

I would drink them occasionally, thinking they were a healthier alternative - but it never lasted. They taste like sugar and water, or bloody Budweiser or something! No kick to them.

I got a slab of Beez Neez last night. I'd never tried it before and it turned out to be a bloody nice drop.

Alcohol slows down metabolism mate, mine's been crawling at snails pace for nearly 15 years now...

OOPS I;m in the wrong place.
I came in here expecting cricket discussion and sacking selectors.

You clown Smithy.

You know, I love Cooper's Pale.
But...I reckon the best beer to have after a hard day of work outdoors is a West End Draught.
It is what it is, a simple beer that just slides down nicely and quenches the thirst.

Bought a carton of Lowenbrau for the weekend..nice imported beer

[Psyber]

Sorry to admit to being un-Australian about beer preferences and quantity of intake.

Old man brought back a mixed 6 pack from Bootleg Brewery in Margaret River. Cracked a couple tonight and bar sitting in their bar and drinking it straight from their keg it doesnt get much better.

Tonight had
- Sou' West Wheat (amazing)
- Wils Pils (very good)

SW of WA have some of the best boutique breweries in Australia without a doubt

Agreed!

Barecove Radler (formerly known as Barefoot Radler) is a bloody nice drop...

Not too "thick" like a Coopers product, and not as overpowering as a WE Draught style...

On par with Miller's Chill, Carlton Fusion type drinks...

I am a fan...

Stinking hot day last summer and the bloke at the Grog Shop recommended the Barefoot's as the best drop to have on a hot day.

Raced home all nice and excited about this new brew I was about to try and think I had maybe 2 gulps then left the other 5 beers in the fridge for the best part of 6 months before I could pass them off to guests .. Terrible!!
