Bavarian Bier Cafe Brisbane

[Bribie G]

I see there's a Bavarian (that's Bavarian not Belgian) Bier Cafe just been snuck in on us at Eagle Street Pier.
Anyone been there yet? Is it new or has it just slipped in under my radar?

Almost as good as getting a JS in town in its own way.

Damn. I'm going for a walk to investigate. I've not seen it before, but that place has been a hive of contstruction activity for a few months now.

Will report back.

Signing off.

Cool. I might need to head over for a sample one afternoon.

I didn't pop in for a drink today, mainly due to the plyboard all over the place. There are signs up saying that it is open, so I will pop down when I have a little more time. Its up the esculator near where the Maccas used to be.

Will go for lunch tomorrow and see what they have on tap.

They have the usual German beers hofbrau dunkel which was my pick.

I went last Friday night, and it was packed. It took ages to get served, but I guess they were having some teething problems. It did get a bit better as night went on and the crowd got a bit smaller.

I'd been to the one in Manly (NSW) a couple of weeks ago, and from what I could remember, the menus were practically the same. The beers aren't cheap ~$11 for 500ml & $22-23 for a litre, but they tasted reasonably fresh and taken care of. Most of the mains on the menu were around the $25-30 mark and were decent sized portions.

I reckon they'll do well there up until xmas, but I found myself wondering about the sustainability in the long run. I'd personally go to the German Club for more variety given the choice, but I could also easily see myself stopping in for a pint & pretzel whenever I'm in the area.

Cheers,

$11 for less than a pint... No thanks. Funny how relative costs change once you've got 4 beers on tap at home!

Where the Maccas "used to be" ? do you mean it's gone. What about rowers? oh lord what is the world coming too!

Funny how if I was drunk I'd probably pay the $11 without thinking about it but if I'm buying ingredients for a brew I suddenly turn into a tight-arse.

How true.

I'm on Eagle Street everyday so i'll be dropping in soon

nb: the Pig & Whistle on Eagle St has a LC single batch tap which the barman claims has IPA in it!!! Presumably this fairly old. They also have S&W Kellebier for $10/pint at the mo.

I sense a cunning plan - take wife there , buy a pint, react with shock and horror, state that I can make 20 litres for $30.
I reckon I can re-start the "Think of the money I'm saving" argument for at least a few more laps.
$11 well spent :icon_cheers: .

Two years ago the prices at Manly were $18 a litre. Seems to have gone up way beyond the rate of inflation - bit of gouging going on here by the sounds.

Cor the cheek of it ... and Brisbane's way closer to Bavaria too!

Damn that area of the CBD is looking bloody tempting now! I was only there last week too but only went to the belgium.

Off topic but the Elephant & Wheelbarrow seem to be going out of all their foreign beers, just BUL available and the Tetleys, Old Spec, Bombardier fonts disabled. Maybe waiting for the next container to land. Hopefully.

There's half a dozen of them around Sydney now...

Probably he wasn't wearing gay enough shoes. I go in the daylight hours - no bouncers then. :lol:
