Went on the tour yesterday and it was a good way to spend a couple of hours. Being a Kits & Bits brewer & at my first brewery tour I enjoyed the insight into brewing from scratch. Brennan was good value, fielding some questions I am sure he didn't expect from a usual crowd of Saturday afternoon punters. Peta (sp?) was also a great host at the end of the tour and had good information about the business side of operations. The beer was, to my (uneducated) palate, fresh and tasty but not too 'outside the square' in terms of recipe. This, IMHO, is not unexpected from a brewery just one month into production. The Premium Lager didn't really stand out for me, but I enjoyed the Mid-strength, and the Pale Ale had a nice hop taste. I look forward to the seasonal or one-off special brews that could be coming from this brewery in the future. The bad (or good) news is the distribution is and will always be
limited by geography.
I enjoyed meeting some of you from AHB in person and hopefully I can join a brew-day or swap sometime soon. Thanks to Zizzle for bringing this to our attention.
Cheers,

Edit - take the tasting comments with more than a grain of salt. I probably don't know what I'm talking about
