The "gulf Brewery"

[Gulf Brewery]

OK, replies to the last few messages

The gear was from the Parrot and Jigger and I did send that message to realbeer.

The winning Mash Paddle entry may make it as a seasonal next year (it could be this year, but I can't promise it). The same rules would need to apply as per Gerards comp - it needs to use ingredients that are readily available to the micro

Unfortunately, my pils while being an excellent example of style, even if I do say so myself , would not appeal to a lot of the commercial beer drinkers as it is too bitter.

I have a trial batch of a low alcohol beer waiting to be kegged. I will see how this appeals to some peoples pallette.

Cheers
Pedro

And now we have some stainless steel porn for your viewing pleasure

Scary ain't the word. The fermenters I didn't mind, because there are two of them. The kettle was a real worry as it is a one off.

Congrats Pedro
You must be stoked, and probably the most envied guy on AHB! Its a pity your pils will be too bitter for most palates, it sounds like it is pretty good. I have to go with most others, and say a porter (or a stout), a pale ale and probably a wheat beer (I dont really like wheat beers, but there are plenty out there that do, so ya have to cater to the majority). For a seasonal, maybe something akin to a raspberry ale, or one of the american Celebration Ales. Whatever way you go mate, all the best in your new endeavour, I hope it comes up trumps for you (ya lucky bastard!)

Pedro exported some to lagerland a few weeks ago, very very very good drinking on the verandah.

Smooth sailing Pedro, may the red tape be dissolved with phosphoric acid.

The Parrot and Jigger is still there. They are now only selling commercial beers. The pub is back a fair way from the road behind another bar and is a bit hard to see from the road.

Cheers

Good luck Pedro with the brewery. If possible I'll happily purchase a case or two if comes to QLD, maybe Andrew, yourself and Paul M could get together on the distibution side of things?

Top news Pedro, I wish you well and can't wait for the updates.

I might have to make a trip over to SA to see the joint and taste the liquids when it's running.

 

[Gough]

I'll add my congratulations as well Pedro. Great to see someone really living the dream. Good luck with the various authorities mate. Persistence pays off with that lot generally

The bar itself is to be refitted out. It is going to be the new Monteiths Ambassadors bar.
Hope to check it out when I should be back in NZ for the Lions tour in July.

Beers,
Doc

 

[bradmcm]

It's a very nice bar and yes, they just have Monteiths on draught.
About 6 different ones from memory.

Hi beer lovers

Just an update at what is happening at the Gulf Brewery.

We are pleased to welcome Michael Derer on board as a dedicated salesperson. Michael has had a past life in selling beer for a large brewery (let's not mention names, but it was in Oz) and is looking forward to selling our handcrafted beers. He will be the first point of contact for all sales enquiries and can be contacted either on the general brewery number or via email: [email protected]

Hopefully this will free some time up for me to do other things with the brewery and earn some money to sponsor things like ANAWBS

Cheers
Pedro

 

[Ross]

Welcome aboard Michael - Let's see how good you are, Gulf Brewery beers available in qld before xmas :chug:

We can but hope...

Cheers & every success...

Well done with the further expansion and development of the Gulf Brewery. Great news!!!!
