New Craft Beer Bar In Brisbane - The Scratch

[Yob]

I loved my little visit there, didnt take notes but Lobed some of the following.

easy to find from Milton Station

Felt Like I was in Amsterdam strangly

^









Really wanted the Armageddon but didnt get the chance sadly

Got into the Scratch last night. Very enjoyable atmosphere and the guys there definitely know their beer. The only downside was we had to stand in line for about 15min to get inside. That was easily made up for after the first glass of Bacchus raspberry oatmeal stout. Fantastic drop.

 

[winkle]

Theres an American Brown Ale on tap called "Brown Eyed Girl" ATM (made by some upstart bunch south of the river ).
I'll see if I can sneak in a few glasses after work tomorrow.

Heading straight there from the airport tomorrow arvo. Place opened a few weeks after I left Bris so I'll have to put up with any friday night crowds and not do what I'd ususally do and say "**** it I'm going to the Clarence" like I used in those situations.

Standing in line for 15 mins? Eff that noise. I think I'll do a mid-week visit.

Yep good idea Clutch or sneak out early for one or two.
Had the barmens ears last week, nice blokes. Very quiet around lunch time or just after but they warned me about packed house in the evening.
Good on them, there is alot of small bisuinesses there that come and go pretty quick Ive heard. Hope they can survive. Some top drops on offer and a few free tasters to entice at that time of day. Just what Brisbane needs I reckon.

Yeh, I was tempted to bugger off but I'd made the journey over to Milton specifically to check the place out.

I definitely won't try 8pm on a Friday night again though. Either get whilst people are still at dinner or waiting till after 9.

 

[Snowdog]

Saturday afternoon last week was a perfect time to Scratch! I'll avoid the weekend evenings I think.

Hi All,
If you're looking for a top shelf local, or a new venue for a crafty beer them come down to Vroom Bistro & Bar on James St in the Valley...
I'm up to roughly 37 beers, both local and international and I'd love to see you there. Currently running St Arnou on the taps and I'm always rotating the beer list too so a hell of a lot of variety. Love to have you in for a brew, a chat and some feedback!!

Hey Greg,

To save Hijacking the Scratch thread, I started a new one for you mate.

(Some people take offence at hijacks, but I'm sure they will forgive you as you are new to the site)

Plug your stuff in there.

Cheers mate

Hey Greg, good to hear mate. Perhaps you should start your own thread for your bar and give us a run down on your bar. I'm sure you'll get a bit more interest in a thread under your own name.

Cheers Brad

Edit, beaten by KBB.

 

[Kingbrownbrewing]

I will always beat you brad....

OT: You going to be at Nicks for a beer mate?

Yeah mate. As long as the rain stays and ruins the family plans that is

 

[argon]

Will be heading here on Friday around 5.30 for my first visit. Then having the mrs pick me up whenever. Looking forward to it.

 

[Batz]

I was going to be there today :angry:

 

[The Giant]

Assuming it's the Red Bellied Black - It's all Simcoe to 130 IBU's - a kilo of hops in every keg & a secret spice to give it a sour twist.

cheers Ross

Jesus! haha Shows how good my pallet is

I've used Simcoe before but never got that intensity of flavour. Was a good beer but can't have to many of them! haha

Stout milkshake on the way home today??
Ever so tempting....

[argon]

Book in March 25th for the 4 Hearts Brewing Tap Takeover.

The 4 beers will be:

4 Degrees Pale Ale and 3 new beers:

4 Degrees I.P.A - The big brother of 4 Degrees Pale Ale. The Pale Ale on steriods. Big and malty with a huge hit of hops on the nose. There is a slight reisny after taste due to the amount of hops. The big malt backbone is slightly over powered by the Cascade and the Nelson Sauvin hops. This beer will smooth out as it ages but when tasted was pretty full on. The abv. is approx. 6.8%.

4 Degrees Wein Lager - A lager made from 100% Vienna Malt and moderately hopped with Hallertau German hops. This beer is a solid lager, slightly biscuity/roasty, clean and easy to drink. It's pretty simple but then good beer doesn't always have to be complicated.

4 Degrees Coal Miners Stout - Coal mining has been going on in Ipswich for well over 100 years...this beer was brewed about 4 weeks... ago using English Ale Malt, German Smoked Malt, Crystal, Choc Rye and Roasted Barley, a touch of English hops and English ale yeast. Its choclately, roasty and slightly smokey aroma is backed up by a rich big body and just enough bitterness to offset the sweet malt flavours. Perfect after a day in the mines, with an abv of 4% you can have a few too.

Hope to see a few of you guys there.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

hopefully there will be some left a week later for the pub crawl!
