that's funny...I was just explaining that very issue to someone after the point was made in the KI thread.I picked up a bottle of this today... very yeasty, poo brown/cut apple colour, well over-carbonated and with a strong 'wet cardboard' oxidation flavour. Down the sink.
Also tried a Kooinda pale ale, another new Vic micro. Liked this beer a lot: lovely glowing orange hue, fresh hoppy nose and some big tasty American hops to round out a full malt mouthful. A big example of the style, but a good one.
Interesting side note, I was just looking at the two empties on the bench and they are both in the 330ml OI (ACI) stock bottle and a quick peruse of the beer fridge reveals Jameison, Feral, Goat and Nail in the same bottle.... I wonder how many times OI have been asked "Geez mate, got anything else?"
Cheers Al. Like the look of those big open fermenters?that's funny...I was just explaining that very issue to someone after the point was made in the KI thread.
hey, nice pic of you in "The West" today Dig!
For a bit extra we can have the "crown lageresque" sloping sides (like Murray's I think), there's plenty of choice!Interesting side note, I was just looking at the two empties on the bench and they are both in the 330ml OI (ACI) stock bottle and a quick peruse of the beer fridge reveals Jameison, Feral, Goat and Nail in the same bottle....

are they the famous "Jake" and "Elwood"?Cheers Al. Like the look of those big open fermenters?
Yeah, the picture is of Factor and I looking into 'Elwood' (Jake is the one on the inside).
When I first saw that pic it looked like a pic of two lego men looking into a couple of opened cans of peeled tomatoes???? :lol:
not that I dont like the big shiny tanks - but a little closer to the topic
Arctic (haven't tried it) is one of a few newer breweries with stalls at the upcoming Vic Microbreweries Showcase at Fed square.. the ones that I don't recall being there before are
Arctic
Sweetwater Brewing Company
Three Troopers
and I cant remember Bellarine Brewing Co - but I'm not sure
Disappointingly, no Kooinda.
I've got other activities booked for the days its on (March 17 & 18) or I would be going down, I have missed the last couple because there was nothing I hadn't tasted - different now
