So I went and played a round of golf at the local course this afternoon. I don't play that often so of course the score was high, plenty of shots into the woods, but a nice walk all the same. On the topic of beer the golf club (and we are talking a town of 10,000 people on the Mid-North Coast) the bar had:
1. Anchor Steam in the bottle - The beer that started the craft brew thing 40 years ago! In Wauchope! At a club thats all pokies! Better than the selection at Castle Hill RSL after the NSWAHC.
2. Anchor Liberty in the bottle - A nice woody/herbal IPA. My first choice, barman thought it was a bit pricey at $7. Didn't have the heart to say Carlton Draught is a bit pricey at anything above 20c a schooner
3. JS Squires Ace of Spades Porter on Tap
Now this last beer is the topic of this post. It smelt great, chocolate/coffee/roast but clean. It tasted pretty good, mostly clean bitterness with a hint of choc/coffee. This is a very well made beer, probably a bit corporate/clean but still very well made.
The megaswill hop bombs get a hammering for going cheap on the hops but the dark beers tend to hold their own.
