Ahh well..was looking forward to finally trying the 2IPA...guess I still have to make the trip down to port stephens... Will the platform bar be open saturday? last two weeks I've been by in the evening it's been shut...

do you have to buy tickets or can we just rock up to the platform bar and enjoy some beers on friday?

Do you have to sign up for the $20 deal or just rock up? Finally the platform bar gets it right...in a BIG way!!

you hit the nail on the head mate

Nice idea...BTW hows the situation with the platform bar and your beers progressing?

c'mon thats not much of a list...how bout some aussie micros on tap geez no wonder brisbane won't go ahead when people will accept pap like this PS Do not take this as an attack on any forum members just a frustrated beer drinker venting

Well I still stand by my assumption that - Double *******>AB>Oaked AB So unfortunately we got the least interesting one. DB and AB are hoppy mothers time on the oak doesn't do this beer a service. Maybe I sampled a bad bottle but this particular Oaked had no hop flavour and was very malty...

Had tasted them all before - they are in pretty good condition except for the AB and DFH 60 and to a leser extent 90. For me the Firestone Walker IPA is the pick followed by hop stoopid and lagunitas IPA. Sampled them next to a Jamieson Beast last night and you realise how little oomph that...

Hope it can be a regular thing - MT are the best commercial brewery in QLD. Hope they get round to making that American IPA!

"Sick Of turning up at Platform Bar and finding Jack Shit on tap." me too mate, me too. The only thing the platform bar is good for is helping me lose weight! Here is my blog about it.... http://jonno79.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/ch...mas-story-2009/

Sure but a lot of the beers the tap house offer are draft only...like the feral beers etc

Anyone got any updates on the local taphouse coming to brissie? Unfortunately the platform bar has it's hands tied by fosters and lion nathan so it would be nice to see an independent place come in to really promote craft beer.. ie this - IN ST KILDA (the newest are listed first): Stone &...

yeah hop hog on

'I don't think there was a JS on the menu...but if you miss them go to the bar next door.........' My thoughts exactly! ...or a number of other places around town

Just wondering about the Brewer's Ale - what was the ABV on that? It tasted to me about 5 to 6% but I'm not sure. I thought it was a strong ale style wise...does anyone agree or disagree?
