More Murrays Beers

[Gough]

Shawn, is there likely to be another tasting at a local bottlo?
Should I bring my money?
Discount if bought on the day of tasting?

Keen to visit my place for a sample of the Coopers Vintage range, or maybe on of my strong ales?

Great to hear that the brewery is coming on well. Who knows; maybe one day soon there might be another job available for an assistant brewer. I hear that Trent has his resume on file.

Have to chase another Anniversary ale this weekend. If the bottlo still has one, or two, shall I collect one for you Warren?

As Big Kev used to say, "I'm excited"...in so many ways.

I may have some interesting beer on tap by then, too. Hoping for a winter warmer or a nice Schneider weisse clone (with W3638 yeast)... or a Belgian golden ale. Is a golden ale on tap considered to be an extravagance?
My Klsch will be gone by then , even if it's bad (drain filler). Maybe another Klsch, attempting one for the mash paddle.

I may even have a spare bottle of the NSW July case Gse for tasting. or a passionfruit lager? Hmm, I need to post about that one.

Tried the Sassy and Nirvana last night.

Absolutely loved the Nirvana. That's one special Pale Ale, Apricots and citrus abound and the aroma is to die for. :super:

Sassy is a nice session beer with a subdued Belgian yeast character, stewed fruits and clove. Not as awesome as the Nirvana but nice all the same.

Wait till you try the IPA... :beerbang:

The hop flavour is that strong and fresh that you would swear that you had a mouthfull of fresh instead of beer.

They must of put 100's of Kg's in at flamout....it is awsome... :super:

For the Sydney Folks:

I dropped into the bottle shop at the top of Kent St (underneath the old IBM Building close to the Bridge) and they still have some of the Annerversary Ale. I was tempted, but I've already gt a couple stashed away.

If you want to try it - there's your chance.

Just returned to Sydney from Coffs. I had dropped into "The Pub With No Beer" on the way home for a quick 2IPA (got my cousin to drive the car afterwards). Its an awesome beer and I can't wait for it to hit the shelves at the bottleshops.

It would've been nice to try the Grand Cru, but my passenger was keen to get home. Besides, one beer would've led to another and that would mean too many toilet breaks on the way home.

I caught the end of the tour and the dude mentioned something about rooms being about $45 per night (can't remember exact price), although sometimes they offer the rooms for free if you have dinner/drinks there. It was also mentioned that if you do pay for the room then quite often the money is given to charity so don't feel to bad if you have to pay.

I grabbed a bottle of the Anniversary Ale whilst I was there in case of a special occassion. I thought that a special event might be few and far between, however I have just discovered that tomorrow is the date of the Royal Ploughing Ceremony in Thailand, Hari Hol Pahang in Malaysia and it is also the Buddihst obeservance of Vesakha Puja. Sounds like a good reason to crack the bottle!

Will definitely be returning to support such a great brewery. Go Australia!

I tried the Anniversary Ale last night, and it beats the crap out of similar locals in the price range (Redoak St Nicholas - not even remotely a triple BTW, Hahn Millenium etc). That said, I haven't tried the Redoak Special Reserve barleywine, so can't give it "top dog" just yet B)

2 bottles of the Aniversary Ale left in the fridge at North Shore liquor, Cammeray for the Sydney types here. Can't wait to try the 2IPA!

Hi guys,
Went to the pub with now beer (home of murrays) about a week ago now and stayed over midweek. It was amazing. Went with my wife while travelling up the coast from newcastle and she not being a beer drinker really enjoyed the time also. Shaun one of the brewers was very very hospitable and once discovered I was a all grain brewer then allowed me to help out a bit in the brew day. They are very busy up there and I definately should of let him know I was coming. The resteraunt is good there. The accomodation is quiet and clean and cheap. The grounds of the pub well kept. My wife and I spent a couple of hours out on the grass drinking and eating. And then there is the beer. Tried all 7 loved them all. I had previously had the pale ale and blonde out the bottle and as you would expect these were much nicer on tap. The pale was the beer that impressed me the most up there. I'm a bit of a apa man and this beer crapped all over any other aussie pale I've tried, creaures and alpha included.

2ipa was nice, not quite at the ruination level but close. Grand Crue very nice and interesting and for those with a spare $30 definately try the anniversary ale. Leaves barking duck by matilda bay for dead.

I was at a pre opening night at a new Newcastle restaurant (Jaggedreef) and they had the 2IPA on their beer list (as well as a lot of other Aus micro beers). At the time no alcohol was served but I would have thought that now it was open that they would be selling it? Still not available Gough?

G'day Nooch. Hope things are going well down in flooded out Newie...

Tim at Jagged Reef has just ordered some beer from us and should have the Nirvana Pale Ale and Sassy Blonde by now. The Icon 2IPA and Grand Cru will both be in the bottle by mid August - we are bottling them in 750ml bottles with corks, and Jagged Reef has an order in for some already... Draught Icon and Grand Cru is also a possibility...
