Bought a carton of Bittburger for Easter - $30. Was actually pretty good, I thought.
However, the last beer I drank on the Easter weekend was some infusion thing, Carlton I think.
'Orrible.

After a big weekend, am over beer and surprisingly enough I'm drinking a CC and lemonade. Mrs DW bought the bottle today as a recovery drink. She's a good egg.

When I go to a BBQ I like to stick to the more obscure beers so I can see which freeloader is stealing them, so for Good Friday I grabbed some Three Kings Dry Lager. It had a really sweet taste but went down really easily. Definitely would have it again.

Been drinking a little of the Brew Dogs range.

Punk IPA - a hearty, but sharp ale...delicious!

77 Lager - I'm not big lager drinker because I think they're generally pretty boring, but this beer is f***ing amazing. I could drink truckloads of stuff. 10/10.

Sometimes there just comes a time.
Not tonight, though.

Balancing a Coopers Pale and a nice Shiraz.

Like most places has some good/some bad, but their best is VERY good
In my opinion their lagers (Charger Lager and GT Lager) are not anywhere as good as their other beers (Ace of Spades, Schweinhund and Seeing Double)
