Perth

[threepwood]

Hi all,
I've been posted to Perth for a month or so and do not know the city at all and am looking for a little local beer knowledge. With the exception of Little Creatures can anyone provide some recommendations on the best brewery/pub/bars in Perth where I could find some decent crafty beers on tap.
Many thanks

The Sail and Anchor, and the Mad Monk have some nice beer on offer. Both in Freo though...

Hope you bought plenty of cash to pay for the overpriced beers here in town.

Are you going to be in Perth or somewhere nearby?

Glad someone else noticed it.....I paid over $10 for a pint last night....why is it so expensive over here?

I'm staying in the city

It's the same here in Sydney, if not more at some places. Crazy.

One of the driving costs behind the price rise is the council/government/police trying to get rid of unruly behaviour. Removing happy hours and drink specials and all competition between the pubs go. "Trendy" bars pop up and expect the punters to pay a higher amount and unfortunately people do. I'll have a pint in town every once and a while and that's about it.

I work in the city - perhaps we could catch up for a pint of Hobgoblin at the Moon and Six.

There is also the Indian Ocean Brewing Company in Mindarie, ks north of Perth though. Wasn't impressed with their food but the beer was good.

L-Bomb forgot to mention the Belgian Beer Cafe on Murray Street and just over the other side of the street is Carnegies. Bit of a **** pub, but they do have some different things on tap. Worth stopping in for a pint if you're in the area, even if just to know never to go there again.

Bobby Dazzler's next to the Moon has Coopers Sparkling on tap. Sassella'a in City Arcade (2nd or 3rd level) has a reasonable range. They did have the LC Small Batch IPA on tap but that might be all gone now. The Northbridge has Cooper's Pale and JS GA.

I was in Perth last week and visited Little Creatures and the Old Swan Brewery (http://www.theoldbrewery.com.au/) which is now a micro. The brewer at the Old Swan Brewery was more than happy to provide samples and even provide an informal tour through the brewery. Not sure what the locals think of this place but for me, the beer was reasonable and the service was friendly (although the brewer thought somewhat highly of himself)... YMMV.

sap.

 

[mfeighan]

if you want to pay a pretty penny go to the red rock ( i think its called the claremont now) and you can pay $20 for a hoe!

. Cotts not to bad you have the OBH which I have not being to in years so have no idea whats on tap!

The OB has Little Creatures Pale, Coopers Sparkling, James Squires GA on tap which are probably the ones that stand out of the crowd.

Or you could go to the back bar and drink 15 pints of Swan Draught and relive your youth! :icon_vomit:

Don't forget gamblor lives at Burswood casino and no where else. There aren't any gambling machines in our pubs or clubs.

TAB outlets excluded.

There's plenty of nice micros around, particularly if you head into the swan valley or freo - Little Creatures is titally worth the trip, it's awesome! In the city/northbridge you've got the James Squire brewpub "The Generous Squire", and there's some pubs with good beers on like the Belgian Beer cafe, the Brass Monkey has a good selection of Matilda Bay beers, the Moon and Sixpence has a couple of different beers.

Mad Monks beers are excellent at the moment. But the prices have been bumped up to $10.40 a pint!
Swan valley is "ok". Feral is great.
Duckstein and Elmars have good beer but its $10 for 400ml.

A new one on the radar is the Principal in Midland (kind of on way to Swan Valley). The pilsner there is excellent. Actually the best aussie brewed pils I've had. And prices are fair. Must have non-carft beer managers though because they have about 20 other ordinary beers on tap, and the website doesnt say anything about the their beers!
