Walked up to the Macquarie about 6:15pm tonight with a workmate. chose the right door (the one under the brewery sign) and made our way thru a crowd to the bar. it was opening night and most were sampling the two brews on tap. a few of the female persuasion were sticking to white wines.
on tap was a pale ale & a wheat beer (plus the usual swill). most people were asking for the pale ale. it reminded tg (workmate) of squires golden ale with the slight peach taste. drinkable but at same time different to your standard coopers pale ale. perhaps not going to be a regular beer, but will try a few more visits to confirm.
the wheat beer was great. nice body & aftertaste, definately a winner. will be going back for this alone. tg thought it pretty good too. as we work nearby, will be back on thur for lunch or fri after work for another round
walking downstairs to the 'facilities', you can see the brewing tanks, which makes for an added bonus. it was open for selected visitors ie not us and thus was cleaned up. would be interesting to see when its actually in production, especially the plate filter.
after a couple of appetisers & a few more tasters, bar staff reminded us that we werent officially invited
hence left with out hassle but with a good impression.
cheers
