Heads Up For Those Who Follow James Squires Limited Releases...

[vicelore]

its def out... mate just msged me told me he was drinking it atm.

 

[nate2g]

Yeah I had the Sundown a few weeks back at the GF&W Festival. I wasn't really overly impressed but could see it as a popular choice over summer. I prefer their other beers, but interested to hear what you guys think of it.

 

[dr K]

I had a "sampler" a few weeks ago.
Suspect that the finished product was more driven by the marketing branch than the Mad Brewers branch of JS.
Faultless, easy drinking, well balanced but nothing to write home about !!

Well, I now have some here...

It's easy drinking, has a slight hoppy tone but as said, is nothing too exciting...

 

[schooey]

I bought a six pack today, I wish I hadn't. Toohey's New has more flavour...

 

[Rustyc30]

Had a six pack last weekend whilst it was a nice beer and fitted in with what they wanted to do a nice easy drinking summer beer not rushing out to grab a case of it but good to try

I wish they'd have another crack at the strong ale - that was fine!

I still have a 6pack of this cellared

Still tastes amazing, only 3 years past its "best before"


btw, i thought "Specialist Michael Jackson" passed away? or is there another Michael Jackson?

Well, that's going to make for an interesting session then, isn't it. Shows what I know. Apparently you are correct (Michael Jackson, 27/3/1942 - 30/8/2007) - I can only imagine that the e-mail was horribly outdated and reused. Could be too, since this thread has shown that it is surely not being 'released' on the 24th.

Make of this what you will... (finally got around to posting the image)

 

[jonocarroll]

I heard its a corona clone <_<

Even more perplexing then... (from Wikipedia)

Michael Jackson also said once, on the Late Night with Conan O'Brien talk show, that his least favorite drink is Corona.

popped into Dirty Dans on the way home... none in stock :angry:

Had to console myself with four-packs of Wicked Elf Pale and Murrays Nirvana Pale Ale :icon_drunk:

Based on some of the comments in this topic, I think I have done pretty well out of the bargain.

Will still have to chase down a bottle or two to try it though.

This Michael Jackson is not a zombie!
He works for Lion Nathan and apparently had never heard of Michael Jackson (Deceased)

Anyway, I am going to head to the Holdy to see what the fuss is about.
If the JS beers are no good i can always have a Rochefort 10

What sort of "beer specialist" has never heard of Michael Jackson (Deceased)?

oh right, a lion nathan one, lmfao

 

[jonocarroll]

So... this isn't happening then? Dang.

 

[sinkas]

I was pretty sure he knew at least the other other michael Jackson existed, but could be wrong, this one is a seriously unhealthy looking dude

 

[Dave86]

A mate of mine grabbed a sixer and told me it was bland, when I tried one of his, I had to agree. I had been drinking my last tallie of warren's SSB with all NZ styrians though... The next day I had one after switching from white wine and it actually tasted hoppy! I grabbed a case for our end of uni holiday next week, I think it'll be fine summer drinking if I make sure I only have it before my bottled porter, not after!

 

[dpadden]

Camperdown Cellars has sold out already and hoping to get another lot early this week. I picked up a case at Northmead Cellars this afternoon. Six cases left for anybody who is interested...

Chilling now and should be tasting in about an hour... :chug:

Hey guys,

This is not available at any other Vintage Cellars. If you are in Newtown (as i notice one of the members is), require specific beer, or need help please let me know.

If it's beer you need, then it's me you need to talk to. Anything you like, i am the beer guy. Australia to Ukraine (recent beer tour), U.K. To Congo (2010) i can help you out.

If i'm not there, leave info with our staff and i will call you back. Otherwise give me an email at [email protected] or [email protected] (MSN). I can find that brew for you! By the way the White Shield IPA (BC) is outstanding...drinking now....!

Let me know.

Cheers, Willl

G'Day Will. Are all the Vintage Cellars as connected as you? I'm in the wrong state (SA ... mental state is another issue) to visit, but we have a bunch of Vintage Cellars here too. I'm involved in with a Uni beer club that looks for importers (formerly sponsored by JS/MS), and we are always keen on new beers.

P.S. - that White Shield IPA is quite nice indeed.

Back on topic - did anyone go to the event in Adelaide (Holdfast)?

In short...No. I am the beer guy (non head office ;O). If you need help in anyway from VC i will try my very best to help you (in ANY state). If need be, i will drop down in person!

Let me know what kind of help you need and i will point you in the right direction...
