The Microbrew showcase is on next Wednesday and Thursday at Fed Square in Melbourne. Anyone planning on attending?

sap.
 
Yeah I'm pretty interested. Ill most likely go the Wednesday.
 
$35 (book) + 25 (ticket) = $60
Book and ticket combo = $40

Thats the way i read it anyway...
 
It just so happens I will be in Melbourne next week :beerbang:

PS where else is good to visit for beer in Melbourne / Vic? I went to the Local Taphouse last time which was great!
 
Bright Brewery will be unleashing their brand new "Raspberry Lambic" - which had a lambic blend thrown at it just a couple of weeks ago.

I would love if some of you out there could taste it & then tell them if it tastes like a Lambic or not.

Thanks in advance!

Does the Lambic blend thrown at it just a couple of weeks ago suggest it may not be all that Lambic like? ;)
Here is a review from the last time they did it; http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12534...2/?ba=brendan13

As you say Vic, not just Melbourne if you can get out to Woodend it's definitely worth a trip to Holgate brewery/pub. They have a brilliant selection of beer. You have to try the temptress and the EBS on handpump. A few weeks ago they also had the temptress porter on the handpump going through a coffee bean randall :icon_drool2:

Woodend is about an hour and a half north west of the CBD

I guess I'm missing something or that is a typo on their website.
I had to read it twice, then I realised what it was saying.

I'll be there. Hope to meet up with some of you if you are around.
A trip to Coldstream (not bad at all) and Hargreaves Hill (very close by and very very tasty) should be made. A worthwhile trip either way.
Red Hill is 60 mins away too.

Were you thinking of just sitting back in a bar or taking a drive?

I have only lived in Melbourne for a year but here are my favourites:

My Local Stomping Ground (Richmond)

The Cherry Tree

Its hidden but can be found from Richmond Station - very good beer here and a bit of an outside area:

http://www.melbournepubs.com/venue/150/


If you get the train to East Richmond there is the Great Britain:

http://www.melbournepubs.com/venue/326/

About 14 beers on tap - all great quality

If you are around on a Friday, its worth going to the Mountain Goat Brewery, then if there the Royston has great food and drinks as well:

http://roystonhotel.com.au/

I could go on, I love living in Melbourne, I remember worrying when I left the UK that I would be drinking VB for the rest of my life but clearly not!

Long time lurker, first time poster... Welcome! A very informative first post!

Edit - Speeling
 
I'd definitely be interested in heading in. Would love to meet some more brewers from the site and pick some of your brains.

I think you should edit the post to "PICKLING your brains".......or have we already all done that for ourselves?
 
Mine are well and truly pickled, I assumed the same from everyone else. That's the sign of a good home brewer isn't it?
