So who's getting an invite to this "tastings" for the final episode?

Last nights episode was super. Seems to be getting better with each show. Really liked the Bridge Road segment and the info provided on beer conditioning. Also nice to see more detailed tasting opinions given in the voice over. Reading this forum I think its clear the presenters are open for...

I thought the show was good for a first episode. Think the 2 hosts were more relaxed as the moved on to next brewery (maybe due to beer they had consumed). Also interesting to see the tour of Two Brothers and the brewing process semi explained. I actually liked the True South segment too -...

I'm very thankful that they have something like this near home. Great venue, great beer and even better food. Well done to the guys who set it up.

I'll second a few things people have said... - Augustiner Brew House is great. Make sure you go to the one near the train station, rather than the one in the old city as its less tourist orientated. - The beer garden in the middle of the markets (markets called the Viktualienmarkt) is a super...

I've had this beer a few times. Very nice. I have also been told by a nice guy at the brewery that the main reason why they don't ship to mainland is so they don't compete with James Squires range of beers, which are both owned by Lion Nathan. They did do a limited ship to mainland in...

Whats wrong with McBeer with McBacon McMuffin at 8am? Malaysia has my vote - just ahead of the MCG. Lucky for me I support Geelong and can get FatYak at the bar at Skilled Stadium.

I used to umpire football and we did a similar thing for our last training night. 5km run with 5 pubs. The pubs were at different distances apart - like 2 were next door to each other. The rules were 1 beer per pub, but those who were umpiring the Grand Finals had to drink 2 pots of coke...

Which Mecure in Munich are you staying at? There are 4 in Munich... I've stayed in the 'Mecure City Centre' - Highly recommended. Really nice hotel, with lots of space in the rooms and they are very clean. Plus its close to everything - 2 minutes from the main train station and 10 minutes walk...

I agree - I think the Premium is a bit thin/watery. If I have a choice between the two, I always go the Draught. And if I had a choice between Carlton Draught and Boags Draught, Boags wins any day.

Thanks for the info. I'm up there in a couple of weeks - might drop in there and have a taste.

How much did the 6 tastings at that Mac set you back? What size glasses were they?

Got an email from True South - they have a new beer on tap this Friday - Red Truck Lager. The email says - "first seasonal brew a Mrzenbier (Mrzen is the German word for the month of March). Its traditionally a celebration beer lagered (stored) at cooler temperatures." Its burnt reddish...

I purchased one of the GR Box Sets from my local IGA last week for $20. I couldn't find a "best by date" on the box or bottles either. I think GR does some ok beers, the moonlite being a great light alcohol beer and the Yarra Valley gold rates well with me. But the rest are pretty ordinary. And...

White Rabbit is in basically all Dan Murphy's in Melbourne. Seen it a bit in bottle shops down in the southern suburbs.
