So, as a special treat, Mrs GL is driving, and we are going to OSB for dinner, where they have 5 brewed on premises beers for me to try.
I am working from light to dark, so I ask for the Pilsner. "" Oh we have the James Squire Pilsener instead".
OK I'll have the wit. "Oh we have the James Squire Amber Ale instead"
One sided discussion with the waiter about barley vs wheat, hops vs spices, different species of yeast, with blank looks in return. Turns out the brewer has left, they dont have any OSB beers at all. This is at a restaurant in an old brewery, pictures of brewing equipment all over the walls, advertised on the web as having their own beers, have a hard copy menu on the table with a list of their beers.
Take it up with the guy on the desk who suggested that having James Squire on tap made them a microbrewery, it was too hard to take the menus apart and change them, JS Amber is the same as a wit, and I should piss off.
So I did, went next door to the Italian restaurant where they have Nastro Azzurro, and had a jolly nice dinner.
But if you are looking for craft brewed beer, dont go anywhere near the Old Swan Brewery in Perth.
