Thanks to the Reds making the finals, I'll be missing out on the Italian beer night on Saturday. kinda sad but also very happy :blink:

Cheers - Snow

Stopped in today to try Brewtal Brewing at The Scratch and loved both the beers get in to try them if you can.

Brisbane River Brown - Imperial Brown Ale 8.6%
Grind Core - Coffee Porter 7.2%

I don't like coffee and I still enjoyed the porter and the brown was great

Ha ha it's mandatory now !

Foot placed firmly down on that one (and to be fair I have a metric sh*t-load of work work to do tomorrow, which wouldn't happen if I got on the larikin soup with Joey and co tonight ). Be in at Archive later in the week, the grudging trade off today was to nip in for a couple at Scratch.

Brisbane River Brown - Imperial Brown Ale 8.6%
Grind Core - Coffee Porter 7.2%

Damm good beers those two, add Ross's XXXXXXX Ale+ the other taps and its going to get really loose in there quickly tonight. There are balloons all over the floor as a safety precaution, well done chaps!

Here's the blurb...

"In these days of craft beer and crazy brewers, beer festivals are normally dripping with crazy-arsed, one-of-a-kind beers, barrel-aged in this or collaborated with that. That's great. That's part of the excitement that keeps craft beer interesting and newsworthy. Still, while everyone else is celebrating the biggest and baddest, those contrarians at Australian brews news want to take things down a notch and celebrate the best of the everyday beers, the beers that remind us of the simple pleasure of everyday beers, that let us enjoy a good beer while letting us put the focus on where it should be when we're with friends' on the people we're with. Help celebrate international brewers day with Australian brews news and some really good but, well - let's face it, quite boring beers. After all, it's when these beers are on tap everywhere that we can say that the craft beer revolution has won."
Mr. Brews News himself, Matt Kirkegaard teams up with the scratch for a night of appreciation of some of our finest local staples. Expect a night of old school fun including raffles, games and other goodtime shenanigans as well as hearty discussion and debate.
Proceeds from the night to go towards the scratch's charity of choice.

Thoughts on the first night? Good? Bad? Ugly? :lol:

The Brewtal Brewers beers were very tasty, particularly the Brown.
In hindsight things might have been better the next day if I had gone home after Archive rather than going back to the Scratch but it was fun though...

 

[Snow]

International Brewers day at Scratch tonight, then Meat and Greet tomorrow at Kerbside. I'm gettin thirsty!!

Do you need to register for this? Been meaning to get down to the scratch at some point and today has been a shit day. I work in the valley and could really go a beer.
