Sheaf Stout Is The Best Value Aussie Brew

[Swinging Beef]

Is it the best beer Australia produces, $ for $?

I am still blown away every time I have one of these, that it is brewed by the 'F' word.
Just goes to show, they know HOW to brew amazing beer, they just choose not to.
I love Coopers stout, but it's a bit more oily or something.

You lucky bast&rd living in Mexico. Whenever I'm down your way I glut myself on Sheaf. The sister in law (a little old Chinese Lady) whenever she comes up for a visit she politely asks in advance "is there anything I can bring up for you?" :lol: you guessed it. She is almost bowed to her knees under the weight as she gets off the plane :beerbang:

Despite the F word I also reckon it must be the best drop produced by the megas in Australia. Thirsty boy please please say that it will always be so.

Had one of these tonight, and I couldn't agree more. Fantastic, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Dr Smurto gave me one of these...

goes to show that I can't really appreciate stouts that much...

Agreeeeed, sheaf is killer, from one of the 'big' boys

Mantis, you are excused, being alien and all

Never had sheaf... but I've have Southwark stout... that stuff is meaty and delightful.

Gets a pretty respectable B rating over at Beer Advocate.

Invalid Stout is another decent one from CUB.

 

[InCider]

It's a braw drop. And do they still have Invalid Stout down there in Mexico?

 

[Bribie G]

I guess it's a NSW only brew in the same way that in Queensland only we have Carbine Stout and XXXX draught red label, Gulf Lager etc.
Reschs Draught isn't a bad drop either, I always drink that in megabrew pubs when I'm in NSW.

Pity that Sheaf isn't available nationwide, I'm sure they could sell heaps but it's probably a limited run brew when they aren't making megaswill and no capability of expanding production.

 

[Cortez The Killer]

I rate Southwark Stout a notch above Sheaf - and I regard sheaf pretty highly

Cheers

 

[Mantis]

Southwark make a good beer , WoW
Southwark lager or whatever it was way back then, on tap, in SA is without a doubt the worst beer I have tasted. :icon_vomit:

Nope. Only Old Engine Oil beats Sheaf so far in a blind A/B.
Take the pepsi taste challenge! :icon_drunk:

 

[Adamt]

Southwark Old Stout seems to win hands-down on Ratebeer. 91st percentile (3.63/5) vs. 59th percentile (3.17), both in the Foreign Stout category.

EDIT: Beef... Engine oil ain't Aussie brewed!

I had carbine stout after the xxxx brewery tour the last time i was in brisbane. Its pretty good. If you're saying sheaf is better, I need to get myself a bottle.

I'd put Sheaf towards the bottom rung of the list of Aussie stouts. Not bad, but not up there with others.

Coopers (do they still make Vintage stout?) and Southwark are probably up the top there as far as large scale brews go.
Southwark in longies use to be great value for money (around $4 a longie). Not sure how much they are these days, but would definately be willing to drink it again.

Technically Guinness Extra stout is brew under license down here, that's quite enjoyable. I recall getting cans (out of date) of this for $2 each from my local pub one night...wound up buying them out of the stuff.
