Places To Go Melbourne

[Spiesy]

that's a pretty decent list to get through already, I'd reckon!

another notable additions, on the north side of town: The Terminus in Clifton Hill. BEST burgers I've had outside of the USA, got about 6 or so taps of good beer... on Friday they had Mountain Goat Summer Ale, Feral Hop Hog, Feral Black IPA, Temple Ale (can't remember which one) and a few others... this place is going to be AMAZING in February when it opens its beer garden and extends the bar to 16 taps (from memory).

Oh, and Re: Temple. They had a change in head chef a few months back, the menu doesn't look to be quite so good anymore, especially seeing as though the Chilli is no longer on it...

the little laneways in aNd around the CBD have some amazing Breakfasts at a good price. I love going down to Melb for that reason

Had the Metal Head there last Thursday, wasn't too shabby.

Also the Punk IPA, was too shabby.

 

[Cocko]

The Holgate Road trip was pretty special too :icon_drool2:

 

[bum]

Wasn't on when I was there. Would have had that over the Punk for sure.

 

[bullsneck]

At Penny Blue now. Hand pumps down for cleaning. Hmm. Should have gone to Biero.

When is the new Beiro opening up?
It's well and truely past Winter 2012.

Deja Vu is great but the tap selection and rotation is nothing like what it used to be, under the Beiro flag.

Actually, an update from Beiro Melbourne Facebook page. Dec 14th 2012
"Dear all, firstly we would like to apologize for the lack of updates on the new location we have been working hard to give you good news. Unfortunately, we are still facing 2 major problems. 1. Council has still not approved our awesome rooftop plans - but latest update is that we are close. 2. The builders have come back to us with quotations for the estimated building works that are out of our budget so we are looking for financing - and finding money is difficult ! If there are any interested parties out there who are passionate about beer and business and would consider to do a JV please contact us ! Hopefully we can address these issues soon. Till then, Thank you all so much for your patience and support"

Also the Punk IPA, was too shabby.

OT, but I would have thought that a good drop... is in the bottle form, at least, in my opinion.

 

[bum]

I hate both versions but for different reasons.

The bottle is rough as guts. On tap it is (and I hate this as a descriptor for beer) really smooth. Smooth to the point of being utterly inoffensive. An inoffensive AIPA? I was offended! It is much easier going than even local APAs. This is not a recommendation. Beer is timmid as ****.

 

[WarmBeer]

timmid

Holy crap!

Who are you, and what have you done with bum?

 

[bum]

Buger!

Recently I went on a great bike/train/craft crawl in the inner north suburbs.
Mostly on bike paths and back streets.
We made it as far as the Tramway. It was 40C day, outside! ;-)
But depending on time and enebriation state, you could do the whole thing.

From the city.
Take the South Morang/Epping line out to Rushall Station (Fitzroy North).

Head east on the bike path for 50m to the

Terminus Hotel - 8-10 Taps of goodness to open the account.

East along Pigdon Street for 600m. Turn right at Rae St and go south for 700m. (Total 1.3km)

Head back to Rushall Station (1.5km) or the Terminus.
