Food, Drink & Dining Out Favourite Beer II

[Hard Ball Get]

Tried Balters IIPA last night. Was okay but not great. That's how I feel about most of theirs.

Not ‘elite’

Tired Biggie Juice
Very nice.

Had this last weekend - very very nice!

 

[Hard Ball Get]

9%
99 IBU

Not as good as their Knife Party (which is brilliant) but a very nice beer.

By no means a favourite but for a cheap BBQ beer in cans, this isn't bad for $14 (4 x 440ml cans)

I thought that was horrible.

Tried Balters IIPA last night. Was okay but not great. That's how I feel about most of theirs.

I paid about $8 for a can of the XPA from a pub bottle shop in Elsternwick and I’d been drinking since about 9am (it was now lunchtime) and it was eh.

Had the pale ale or something on tap a while ago and bigged it up and it was... it looked like Draught; had that watery, bubbly looking head and not the creamy one you’d like to see. Tasted as it looked and was really really thin.

As for Brew Dog, I had that a fair bit in the UK as it was in all the Tescos (basically their only ‘craft beer’) and it was fairly cheap and yeah, really liked it. Seems pretty expensive here though?

I thought that was horrible.

I may or may not have been a few beers deep when I bought them but I thought they were on par with a James Squire/Little Creatures type.

Had a few of these on tap and they were quite good, very easy drinking beer.

confirming those biggie juice's do go alright

grabbed some dark ales from bridge road brewers as i like their ipa's but they were shithouse. realllly not to my taste.

Not a beer fan but loved

Boddingtons
Guinness

 

[Upgrayedd]

Ok Ok Ok!

Full disclosure, I work for a company which handles Dainton's in WA, also Brewdog, Sierra Nevada


The Blood orange is f**king good, Cloudy IPA however with the blood orange it's not as fruity as say the biggie juice, Absolutely done it again

The Dainton's DIPA Double IPA is great as well, not for the faint hearted since it's close to 80 IBU's. so you cant smash it back

Also have the Rogue Chocolate Hazelnut stout to get through tonight, Wew

Very much more macro than what is being discussed in here but have been enjoying some midstrength brews recently. I don't have any health problems (that I'm aware of) to cut down alcohol, more of a general wellbeing thing.
- Coopers Mild is good with the footy.
- Cricketers Arms Session
- Pirate Life throwback is nice, but very pricey for ABV.

I am 4 batches in, very good, already making great beer, forums are useful to. Highly recommended. The beer you make once set up is cheap too.

As a follow on, I recently bought a larger vessel to brew in and a tap/fridge to store it all.

End result being pouring 30 litres of my own IPA while at home. I really enjoy the brew days too!

I have had "infections" in my last two brews and went through all the troubleshooting and still have no idea why. Fermentation temp is steady (have a proper setup to keep temps even) and everything else seems to be correct. Is absolutely frustrating.

My last two "brews" have actually been a single malt and an american scotch both of which have been damn quality. Spirits might be my thing though I need to get some dark beers up and going for winter.

 

[craigos]

Quite liked this, I think they have a few more to their range now than just the Golden Ale (which was meh).

The DIPA is very solid - not $12 a small can solid, but solid nonetheless.

Dainton pale ale is the shit. What type of Pale ales do you enjoy? Give me some brands and i can hep you out

 

[Rotayjay]

Becks

Hahn Superdry can GAGF

 

[MrKK]

I can't believe there is a mid strength version of Corona, I would've thought it impossible to make that shit any weaker.

tried a few different beers while I was in Hawaii, some were pretty good. A couple sucked but most were good.
Kona's lager & IPA - meh
Golden Road's Wolf Among The Weed IPA
Waikiki Brewing's Skinny Jeans IPA
Maui Brewing Co. i went to the brewery and tried a few of their limited run beers which were an IPA, a couple of pales & a saison - all good.
probably tried another 5 or 6 other local or west coast pales off draught at restaurants but no idea what brands
