Agree.

You're supposed to be selling beer Chris! Not drinking it!

Or is this what they call, "quality control"?

 

[yum beer]

'product knowledge'

 

[Tahoose]

Any chance of a long shot looking down the bar?

I want to be envious...

 

[chris.taylor.98]

Sorry Tahouse, went into the big black hole of the hospitality weekend and only just surfaced. Will get a picture tonight.

We have the Hawthorn Amber and Holgate Little Heifer in the pipeline.

Really hanging out for our function with Blackheart Brewery - Descent into the Underworld. The five beers lined up are:

Bohemian Pilsner
Brown Ale
Strong Scottish Ale
Wiezen Eisbock (last keg left)
Russian Imperial Stout

Last day to get the earlybird ticket prices.

Was in Kyneton today so dropped into the Royal George for a coupe of pints.
Nice country pub with an interesting tap list and a nice warm fire.
Worth a stop.

 

[chris.taylor.98]

Ok guys, anymore takers for our AHB tap poll.

Here is what we have so far:

Boatrocker Hop Bomb
8 Wired Wet Hop IPA
Mornington Brown
Hargreaves Hill ESB
Mountain Goat Surefoot Stout
Hargreaves Hill Stout
Holgate Temptress
Kooinda APA
Kooinda Milk Porter
Anything from Brookes

We have the Hargreaves Hill Barrique Stout (barrel aged for 12 months) at the moment. Had the Mornington Brown in and it sold really well. Will get it back soon. We have ordered a White IPA from Brookes, should be on in the next couple of weeks.

I am after some suggestions for a good sour to put on (the Rodenbach is almost gone).

We are starting to fly through the kegs so the list is changing every week.

One last plug for the Blackheart Brewery - Descent into the Underworld. Last day for the pre-sales price.

Bohemian Pilsner - Pan seared skate, jerusalem artichoke veloute, fresh sorrel

American Brown - Roast vegetable terrine, tomato compote, rocket

Strong Scottish Ale - Pork belly, parsnip puree, radish salad, crackling

Weizen Eisbock - Lamb neck, carrot tian, dehydrated mushy peas

Russian Imperial Stout - Rich chocolate cake, orange puree, milk coffee jelly, crystallised chocolate, chocolate espresso


Cheers

Chris

Awesome selection one of the Pubs of the future. Hope you do well. Will try to drop in next time I'm in the area.

G'day Chris

Just thought I'd pops quick note. 2 weeks in a row I've been lucky enough to find myself in Kyneton. Good food, good atmosphere and great beer. The take away RIS was awesome. The waitress said that the royal George draught was basically Carlton Draught which was a bit of a put off but otherwise great.

Thanks

Trev

 

[chris.taylor.98]

Thanks Trev

The Royal George Draught is Southern Bay's Draught rebadged.

Its still a hell of a lot better than Carlton Draught, but we do point out to peeps that it is basically a standard american lager.

We have it on for those that are not so craft beer orientated.

I will remind my staff not to tarnish its name so by mentioning it in the same sentence as the CUB swill

Cheers
Chris

 

[Crouch]

What a great adventure! Congratulations ... my old man lives in Kyneton on Piper Street, get up there often. Will stop past and check the place out, last time I ducked in was probably over a year ago.

Cheers

 

[Toper]
