Mornington Nitro ESB The first measly can only lasted a couple of swallows, so another was quickly found. And that's a good measure of a decent Bitter/ESB right there...frighteningly easy to drink ! Low carb, smooth, malty (toffee and a bit of toast), then hop bitterness and earthy flavour...

Smoked hock and split-pea soup. Schlenkerla Urbock and Fastenbier. That's it. I'm...*******....Done !!

Nibbo ! I believe my taps from the Perlick 545 buy run by 'Bridges' were from you? Many thanks, if so. I'm up in Mildura quite often working bees commercially (my FIL is in Golgol). In fact, I'll be around heaps late July through August for Almond pollination around Robinvale. I'd be up for a...

Tuatara 'Double Trouble' I was given this by a friend, who, I'm fairly sure, re-gifted to me from his mate who I know has just got back from NZ (my mate doesn't really go for super hoppy). A coincidence ? Prolly not. Any who... fuckit ! The big girl doesn't know what he's missing ! Super...

The man of a thousand glasses ! Welcome back !

I'd get the 'Go To' ahead of any of the other imported Pales Dans stocks, Strauss etc. Very good session beer and still fresh tasting hops (surprisingly, for Dans)

I probably wouldn't be too bothered with that short-coming of FG. You could give it a feed of ~200g sugar (boiled) in water, then cooled, added and swirled around in the FV. That might tempt it to ferment a couple of extra points. I wouldn't sweat it too much though.

Sort out your double posts, Yobster !!

Brewcult 'TCO' IPA Lovely, fresh IPA. Citrus in abundance, bit tropically, slight bit of malt too. Great lacing, probably mainly from hop oils. Can't think wheat or crystal has had anything much to do with this beer. Very nice. I'm trying to kill the keg to make space for the Hawkers IPA...

What more could a human want ? I might have to speed the demise of the Brewcult soon...

@OP- As mentioned, one or two 'gateway' beers will help you forge a path for the beer sales in your business, as well as the beer education of some of your less well-informed customers (the ones that get their beer knowledge from Carlton adverts, such as "Carlton Draught...made from BEER!". Yes...

I've got lots of roasty shit if you need.

Finished the Hawkers RIS a while ago. Quite nicely balanced, but I'd like a bit more bitterness to perfectly offset the sweetness. Sweet treacle flavours mostly, and a bit of roast too. Alcohol warmth in the finish. Nice. Onto the second pint of my own RIS (I need an RSA!). I really must get...

Not yet. Halfway through the Shep. This is quite dry, ashy, burnt toasty. There's a big wallop of bitterness at the end, more than I've had in any stout before, I think. Good. Not bad value at $7 for 500ml either. And it's a style which even Dans can't destroy through mis-handling...
