Beer discussion

[Barto]

I tried Vale Ale recently and it was average, buggerall taste and not even worth of the name "ale" IMHO.

Little Creatures Pale Ale is still so far ahead of the rest of the pack for people who appreciate decent beer its not funny. I really do struggle to drink anything else now.
Getting expensive but worth every cent!

Hard to imagine in this day and age people still drink West End, Carlton United, etc. God knows how, must be the feral element who are clueless and would drink their own p!ss. Mind you a lot of people still buy Commodores adding to that argument.

What do you think of their Pilsener or Bright Ale?

Whenever I head down to LC, I'm always onto the pilsener. Every one rants about the pale, but I reckon the pilsener is where it's at.

Adelaide people are missing out just getting the bottle form of LC beers

Get fugged, you lucky bastard

They put on a great feed there as well

Good price. Ive seen it for as high as $65. Is that all Dan Murphys or is it a one off special?

Anyone tried Cascade First Harvest Ale?

I read a glowing review about it a couple of years ago but could never find any in Perth until I spotted some in a Dan Murphy's store the other night. The review was spot on - a superb beer!

It seems they produce only one batch around April/May each year when the first crop of green hops comes through.

Tassie certainly punches above it's weight in terms of brewing in Australia.

Always worth hunting down

Not a big beer drinker (usually on the Bundys) but the other week i got a 6 pack of Bare Cove Radlers...think i might substitute the Bundy with them for a while.

Wrong thread HH...this is a beer thread

Tried "Three Kings Dry Lager" over the weekend I thought it was quiet a nice beer..good session beer

Stayed in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and gave these a fair nudge at the Hotel bar



Bit like the Fat Yak Pale I thought, decent beer but I still missed my Coopers Pale.

CP for paleys, shouldve gone to pickles auctions last sat

5 cartons paleys were going for $150

[Wedgie]

Why is it the more I like a beer the worse a hangover it gives me?

[brod]

Still going on a mixed 6 pack from "Bootleg Brewery", Margaret River WA

Settlers Pale may the best so far...so much quality beer comes out of WA

Popped into the local BWS last night in search of a 6 pack. Talk about a poor selection of beer. For the first time in my life I didn't lower my standards and take what was on offer, but turned & fled. Reinforced that life lesson on expediency vs quality. Next time I'll drive the extra 5ks and bask at our closest beer heaven.

FWIW - Burleigh Brewing Co putting out some good stuff & worth investing a 6 pack. My last taste was 28 Pale Ale not bad but not as good as the Healesville White Rabbit.

I went to the Jame Squire Degustation night on Wednesday where they gave you a 5 course meal and matched their 6 Beers up with the appropriate foods. All 6 Beers where excellent even their Porters which is a Stout equivalent went down an absoloute treat. Sundowner, Indian Pale were nice. Pilsner and Amber where a taste sensation and as for the Golden Ale which was matched with the Prawn Salad i think. It is now clearly my favourite Beer.

yep the James Squires a excellent beers
if you like the Golden Ale then give the Little Creatures Bright Ale a go, also very good and similar, but a bit more pricey than the Squires
