Well spent Easter long Weekend up at Port Stephens, have been to Murrays previously and it was part of the reason for returning to Port Stephens along with a bloke that runs a bloody good wine tour.
Well the reason for cursing Murrays is two fold, first they certainly lightened my wallet, as I basically bought some of all the beers they had, I was a little disappointed as I thought the Wild Thing and Heart of Darkness were available but they still have some bottle conditioning to do.
The Easter Ale was quite something and really did taste like a hot cross bun, I couldn't drink lots of them but one or two went down well and the wife also liked it.
The retro rocket is quite an accomplishment for a light beer, it has a lot of flavour and is very full bodied for a light beer, I liked it so much I had two growlers filled of it, one still awaits me in the fridge.
Secondlly and the most annoying thing, after buying take away and drinking a lot at Murrays, the pubs, bars and restaurants in Port Stephens were very disappointing. I managed to find Murrays Whale Ale in a couple but that was it, the little bottle shop near Coles had a few beers worth buying but not much.
Also don't know whats the go, but Punch and Judy's for some reason seems to have an over carbonation issue at the moment, I've had a fair few gushers recentlly, it didn't stop me from buying a cube though.
Preaching to the converted I know but if your anywhere near Murrays is a must visit.
