Hey Hockadays, Thanks for the feedback - I was waiting to see if anyone tasted it and had anything to say... I reckon it was spot on for a Special Bitter, but whether or not that gets anyone excited is another question... Sometimes if these things are like our other beers we get "it's like...

Hey Guys, Was just reading this one and I can probably clarify our process. We do ferment with an ale yeast and then filter bright and re-innoculate with a pilsner yeast (the same strain that we use in our Pilsner in fact). There are a number of microbiological reasons for doing so - lager...

Hi guys, Hope some of you out there have been able to give it a crack. I think the entire brewing team has been having this for knock-off drinks for the past two weeks. Currently it can be dispensed from either the main bar or brewhouse bar/cellar door (which can be an easier place to duck in...

Hmmmm.... not sure about this one. The beers I have tried have been great, but I haven't been to the various the locations - only had the beer at different brewer functions. Had a hefe at the last Beer and Brewer Magazine night in Perth (upstairs at the Queens late last year) and it was bloody...

Hi, You will get rocks in malt - it is unavoidable. Even after all the cleaning the little guys get in there. I remember going to New Belgium a couple of years ago and they showed me all around their now very large brewery. The brewer told me - "you'll be suprised what you find in your...

Hey, I have bought about 4 x 4 packs of 500ml bottles in the past couple of months from the International Beer Shop in Perth. And I have to say I was pretty stoked with what I tasted. Clean, slightly fruity, good subtle hops. All around nice beer. Get it if you can. Cheers, Alex

Hey, Yes, we still have heap. I am at the brewery tomorrow so I'll see if we can jimmy up the keg lines to be able to pour it. Cheers, Alex

Yes, I was abused on Saturday by a very irate bar manager that couldn't understand why we went to the trouble of putting it on Friday, and then running out. But I can understand his point with many customers asking for it and then they having to say "the taps say nooooo...."

Hey, There are actually two different varieties of Tassie Saaz - "Southern" and "Summer" from memory. Southern is much more like traditional Cz Saaz, and Summer is quite a bit more lemony from my memory. But hey, both a cracker... Alex

Hey All, We have finally kegged some of our final brew out of the old brewhouse. We did a one-off beer, and it was christened "The Decommissionator". No, not a bock for all of you brewing hardcore, but actually an Oktoberfest style lager. We used both domestic and german pils malt, combined...

Hey, wasn't having a go, but to be honest heaps of brewers I have spoken to (both pro and amateur) in the past couple of years have assumed that Aussie hops are all about Pride of Ringwood and that's it. The guys in Tassie are doing a lot of work to change that perception, and I'm on board...

Hey all, Thanks for the of the input. Dr K - I often wonder about talking heads reference or the yeast as well.... but the official answer is the yeast! Tony - thanks for the comments. It is good there is this forum for all to push a bit back and forth on the beers we like and don't like...

Hi guys, I had this forum posted to me and thought I would join in. Coming from originally a homebrewing background (Westgate Brewers in Melb), and now commercially involved in brewing as Chief Brewer of Little Creatures, I am interested in your comments. I have been at the brewery since 2004...
