It's all about the Beer
From the latest Wheaty Email.......Shame I will be enjoying a schnitty and Coopers Aged Best Extra Stout on handpump :icon_drool2: at The Alehouse tonight... maybe get down after 8.30pm.
Aaaaaahhhh.....Springtime.......
The almond blossom is out, new local beers are pouring; the birds are singing; lots of live music is happening; it's still bloody raining; Mikkeller and Ngne are on tap; footy season is almost over; the Roller Derby Grand Final is on......
Come and celebrate all of these things by popping in to The Wheaty this September - we'll have a Stout for you on the chilly days, and a Steam Ale for the warm ones - see you at the bar!
DRINK @ LOCAL - Steam Exchange vs. Brew Boys
WED 1ST - 6-8PM
Steam Exchanges flagship Steam Ale (4.8%ABV), made in the fine tradition of the Californian goldfield classic, has been cranked up a few notches; the latest batch is considerably hoppier than its predecessors thanks to dry hopping with US Amarillo hops. In the words of Steam Exchanges Gareth Andrews: Brewed in small open fermenters, Steam Exchange Steam Ale is a special blend of Pale, Crystal and Carapils malt with German noble hops for bittering and Nelson (NZ) and Yakima (US) hops for flavour and aroma (29 IBUs). We then dry hopped the brew with Amarillo hops. The yeast employed originates from San Francisco and is best described as a pseudo lager/ale strain of approximately 150 years of age. (www.steamexchange.com.au )
Brewboys Seeing Double (8% ABV) is a luscious little lipsmacker, with a rich ruby hue, and the strength of a highland bull. A died-in-the-wool ale of old with its heart in the Northernmost distilling districts of the Highlands and Islands.
Seeing Double, so named because its originator is a twin, is a complex and hearty Wee Heavy; Tawny in colour, with an inviting fume and a feint reek from the use of peated malt (Bairds 6%) normally reserved for whisky making. You may also detect banana or lolly-like esters amongst the caramel and toffee laced vapours. The syrupy palate is thick and coating and releases wisps of flavours termed congeners by whisky connoisseurs. The East Kent Goldings and Willamette hops are restrained in-keeping with the traditional style and the Scots loathing of expensive Southern Fantoosh.
Following on from Seeing Double the Ace makes a welcome return to tap! In the words of brewers Stephen & Simon Ace of Spades (5.9% ABV) is a fine Extra Stout with rich, complex and dark roasted characters. With abounding coffee-like aroma and strong cocoa bean bouquet, the aromatics are as striking as the appearance. You cant get any blacker. Roasted barley, Roasted malted wheat, Choc chit malt and black malt are all called upon to intensify the blackest beer we could possibly make. www.brewboys.biz
