I didnt like the Oakbank at all. Thaught it was flavourless.

Cheers Vice.
 
Anyone tried the Ironhouse beer? Is that from Tassie by any chance?

I've tried their Lager and Pale.

The Lager was pretty reasonable, nice light maltiness and well balanced bitterness.

The Pale was nothing out of the ordinary but no faults as such.


From that list I would be going:

Paulaner Lager
Triple Karmeliet
Pilsener Urquell

C&B
TDA
 
NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE BTL 330ML

I love it on tap but there's something wrong with it in bottles that I can't quite put my finger on...

I've had the james squire sundowner, thought it was fairly uninspiring. If it was my choice I'd go for the pilsner urquell or the duvel. Both very easy to drink (dangerous for the duvel).

I would go MICHELOB ULTRA BEER BTL 355ML for sure!

Its like making love on the beach ;)
 
I'll put in a punt for these - the best sort of beer for this kinda weather in my opinion.

AMSTEL PREM LGR BTL 330ML

Also, if you want something a bit more interestingly unconventional...try one of these:

LA TRAPPE BLONDE BTL 330ML

A right good drop IMO. Something a bit different, but nicely pleasing nonetheless, with lovely esters floating around and a light, bright body with a decent whack of alcohol (6.5abv). If you have trouble finding them I found them at the local Coles Liquor. Go figure on that one!

RED OAK HONEY ALE BTL 250/330ML.

Aussie micro, beautiful products. This is my fave ATM.

Cheers - boingk
 
I would go for any of the Chimay. But a case is going to be bloody expensive.

Moo Brew is a bit hard to find, but WELL worth the effort IMHO.

O'Brien Gluten Free Pale and Lager can both be found at any Dan Murphys. The Brown is my fav, but hard to find unless you order it direct from the brewer (which ends up saving you a few bucks if you are looking at buying a slab anyway!
 
I'd go for either of the Kozels personally.
extremely underwhealmed wih the Kozel lager. Kozel Dark kicked arse IMO. both are $60 slab at Dan's. which isnt bad considering you get 10L as opposed to 9L in a normal carton.

actually this is perfect weather for saisons! hmmm saisons.

Pilsner Urquell (fresh - $50 @ Dans), any belgian, any wheat or a good IPA for those stinking hot days like a Deuchars IPA if your not used to IPAs. its got a nice hop kick.
 
The Crackenback Pale Ale is a good quaffer. Could easily manage a case of that...oh and Boddingtons

I bought 4 different 500ml lagers from dan murphys a few months back and one of them was a kozel lager, I think anyway. I could be thinking of another of the 4.

I don't rate Pilsner Urquell much.

I've tried all of the above and you're far better off spending your money on something else. They're all more-or-less underwhelming megalagers.
 
And don't go wasting your money on the gage roads ipa. pretty much an under-hopped apa imo

This is good news indeed. My missus just rang me about half an hour ago from the Spotted Cow asking what Id like :)

Moo Brew! I replied. :D
