Nice venue but pretty average beer.
So is it a pig and whistle pub?
Hi Paul,
Stay tuned - very early days and will let you know when the owners are ready to announce.
Cheers,

The little birdies are telling me it's a WA brewer that's behind this one.
Should be interesting.

Obviously the approach works for them (and I have no experience with that kind of thing) however I'd have thought that one would try to get the product as close to 100% before opening and to always try to present the best beer they can right from the start. I'm not sure I'm that 'inspired' to want to visit until they have at least a few batches down and have things working out as well as they obviously expect to in the future.... three beers on offer were the very first beers they brewed on the system - no trial brews no small batches just get in there brew a beer and serve it at the openning!

Matt Bebe the owner told me he is very happy with the beers and said they feel they are around 85 - 90% there. I cant wait until they hit the 100% mark as the beers are good already so with a bit of tweaking and balancing I reackon they will be great!!

It was as much an open question about the logic as anything else, and as I said I have no experience in that regard.I guess on a commercial level doing an 800 litre trial batch (that is the minimum the brew house will do) and throwing it away if it is not 100% or even 90% gets very costly and also begs the question - when is a beer 100% when do you not want to tinker with the beer, the recipe, the ingredients?? When is the beer good enough to serve/drink? The beers I had on Friday were certainly good enough and worthy to serve and for me to part with my dollars.
I am sorry my post has left you feeling less than inspired to go to the brewery and try the beers ...
Colonial plans to/wants to/is trying to build a brewery in Cape Schank. This is a different operation.
