    Whats In The Glass (commercial)

    That ruination is an outstanding IPA, had one fresh in the states along side a lot of other world class IPAs and it was easily the most enjoyable. Bought a 6 of Whit Rabbit Dark Ale, having one now. What's waste of money, bland, no hops, no malt sweetness, the faintest touch of roast. Ordinary...

    Distilled Water - Brisbane

    Have a look here http://www.nabropure.com.au/locations.htm Should be one close to you. $5 for 19L of RO water. Have used them before when building up some Pilsners. Works well. Edit: looks like there's one at the Matilda servo in the Gap.

    Talking of cheap beer availability … this is a photo I took at Costco.

    high gravity, dillution prior to pitch

    Easier to boil then no chill some water in a cube then bring it down to 4°C in the fridge, then add it to the boiled wort. Much easier than handling big chinks of ice that are potentially unclean and unsealed. Have done it before when using the 19L pot. - boil then no chill water - let cool...

    AHB Biggest Loser Challenge!

    Left for the states on the 16th Dec weighing in at 92.7kg. Weighed in this morning and 93.4kg. I've got to be honest, I'm disappointed in myself I didn't put on more weight through over eating and copious drinking... which did happen. It's got me questioning my regular diet. At least it...

    AHB Strava Club

    Back on the bike again after some time off. Will be aiming for 10,000km and 100,000m of elevation this year. Should be able to get 200km a week with commuting + the regular Turbo Tuesday + a few other rides here and there. Had to replace a broken spoke as well as fit a new chain and a little...

    Had a couple of beers last night. Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale. Lovely little amber ale. A little reserved in relation to what I had been sampling. Easy beer to drink, excellent amber ale Then I had this Stone Ruination IPA. My reaction…

    Now sitting down to one of these. Very solid Dark Amber Ale. Not the aggressive hoppiness of the west coast style. To me leaning toward more malt driven flavours with strong bitterness and a subtle hoppiness. Well put together. Would be a staple if I was along time resident in the US.

    Standout beer. Not sure it was the pairing with a rack of Southern BBQ ribs or the sitting outside under the warmth of the burners watching the crowd go past at Downtown Disney after a long day, but this beer was fantastic. Firstly the beer menu at the House of the Blues was outstanding. Saw...

    Heading to the States over Christmas.

    First night at Disneyland. In the hotel by the fire. Had one of these followed by a couple of glasses of Glenlivet 12. Not a very remarkable beer. Interesting enough compared to the limited choice on offer. Also had a fully imported Stella, which was surprisingly refreshing, without the DMS I...

    Had this once we got home after the skiing. Not a great deal of oak flavour, a little in aroma. Gave a more complex dimension to the already great ABA.

    Went skiing up near Flagstaff. On the way back stopped in at a little dodgy servo on the outskirts of town. Went in to grab soft drink for the drive back. Saw this in the fridge. Just like back home.

    Those beers were last night. Went to dinner at a random burger joint in Sedona... Which about 2 hours out of Phoenix. Had a nano-brewery on site, so got sampler. Beers weren't much to write home about, but just awesome to come across a brewery in pretty much the middle of nowhere. 1...

    Shared this one. Great finisher. Full and complex, sweet and chocalatey, roasty coffee flavours with undertones of dark fruit. Another great complex beer with so many flavours coming out as it warmed. Paired especially well with this;

    Had this before at home and do love me a good rye beer. Thick and sweet with good bitterness. Great mouthfeel. Lovely example of a good RyePA.

    Such an awesome beer... Big and bold but extremely drinkable. Aromas of pine and tropical fruits, resins and grassiness all balance together with big bitterness and malt sweetness with a just a touch of bread through the malt. Fantastic beer.... Lagunitas beers have been a stand out thus far.

    Heading to the States over Christmas.

    In contrast I didn't hold high hopes for this one, but was pleasantly surprised. Had a few new belgiums before... Mostly Fat Tire due to it's wide availability. Thought that they were a little commercial, but this IIPA was great. Very fresh resiny green hoppiness and a good malty sweetness. Will...
