We started at NOLA in the East end. With 16 beers on tap there really is something for everyone. I went with a Libation Army "Gentle Upheaval" 3.8% session ale. Like most session ales, bit fruity, bit sweet, I like it. A lot.
Went to a Moondog "Splice of Heaven" 6.8% and 60 IBU yes, it was just like the pine-lime ice cream. It was ******* delicious.
Next stop was to be the British, unfortunately closed on a Sunday so a couple of Coopers Session Ales at the Exeter. I think one of Coopers' best decisions in recent years to add the Session Ale. A winner for mine.
Next stop around onto Grenfell St and a cool little place, Roxies, right next to the Crown and Anchor. Kicked off with a Goose Island "Goose IPA", at 5.9% and 55 IBU this one had some more punch to it. Classic IPA, bold, gutsy. Nice.
Finished off there with a 4 Pines American Amber Ale, a bit lighter at 4.1% and 37 IBU this is right in my wheel house. Tasty all day brew.
I hopped on a tram to the train station, on the train to Outer Harbor and Mrs Boon hops aboard at Alberton station heading down to the street fair at Semaphore.
Strolled down to the Sweet Amber Cafe where some friends had a table outside. Here a few ( I think ) Cleansing Ale's, 4.7%, 30 IBU, perfect beer garden beer, perfect beer garden weather, perfect beer garden!
All in all, cracking day and the best news is I fronted up in really good order this morning!
