What are you doing with hahn premium light, at least get a decent beer!


Im currently drinking LC Bright Ale as my keg setup decided to leak out all its C02 while I wasnt looking...sigh for 4kg of gas gone.

the hahn was left overs from my 30th. i usually use it for my beer batter fish or cascade premium light.


bugger about the gas loss..

Its true when big compANIES take over mirco breweries the flavour changes as the rationalize to make same beer at a lower cost but sell it at the same cost. i understand some of the lc beer is made in tassie? for the eastern market?

I enjoyed this Tripel a week or so ago. Was very nice i must say!

Last night i cracked a bottle of Trois Pistoles that i have had maturing for a year or two. Best before was 14.01.2012 so i thought i would drink it before it went off
It was smoooooooooth! Flavours matured into a deep complexity and well worth the wait.

I still have a bottle of Terrible that has been sittitng for the same time, but it goes off early 2013 so i will have to drink it then.

cheers

Some souveniers from trip to Hobart. All from "Cool Wine". Really enjoying December so far.

Mikkeller Spontancranberry.
Hazy, with a tight, mousy head. Huge berry aroma backed up with massive acidic punch. I think this thing is just as sour as any Cantillion that I've ever had. Impressive.

Coopers vintage 2011. Needs more years, tastes like apples at the moment.

Have had some aged CV that were amazing and yes I realise they are designed to be aged. This one certainly needs it.

Interesting! I really liked this years when it was just released.

As sour as Cantillion you say...this I gotta try!

Saturday night had a Sierra Nevada Tumbler

Not really that interesting... was expecting a more robust malty ale... just got a darker pale ale with less hoppiness... pedestrian

Last night had one of these Kaimai Golden Rye Ale.

Gusher... had all sorts of black sediment in the bottle and some got in the glass. Fizzy and thin.

Also on Saturday night had a couple of Duvel's... haven't had one in a while. Luberly Belgian Strong :icon_drool2:

With you on that, 100%. Can't understand why its a seasonal, IMO its just a very, very pedestrian brown ale and I didn't bother finishing it.

I have been thinking of buying a carton of coopers vintage each year and putting them in the cool dark spot under the stairs for a couple years.

Might get started on that one and get a yearly line of cartons happening

Nothing better than an aged Old Ale!

 

[geoff_tewierik]

I started doing that this year Tony. Reckon one bottle a year should do the trick and do comparison tastings each year

Had a Tumbler last night and gotta say I agree with you and Argon completely. Very average beer. Same cannot be said for the Bootlegger's Rustic Rye and Green Flash Double Stout I had earlier in the evening. Very nice.

Had a 2002 Bigfoot with lunch today. Well past its prime but it's not often I get the chance to have such aged beers so it was still enjoyable, I guess.

Not in the glass and not just yet....

But looking forward to finishing work and going down to the local Craft Beer Pub to have a few glasses of Ballast Point Sculpin IPA...

Very looking forward to this after what I have read....anyone else tried?

Grabbed a Samuel Smith Nut Brown, and Taddy porter this arvo. Bit seedy from last night, but i'll manage these 2!!

 

[Pistol]

Just having a JS muslim beer, AKA Four Wives, def not the best pilsner but was all dad had.

Have a 4 pack of British ales from Dans for Later, Landlord, Old Peculier, Bombardia and St Peters Ruby.

 

[Spork]

Didn't expect a lot from this, cheesy label and story etc.

Pleasantly surprised.
Great hoppy aroma, flavours and bitterness. And I've been drinking AIPA's all afternoon, a SN torpedo preceded this.
Yum!

 

[geoff_tewierik]

Yeah, I had a Hop Wallop a couple of weeks ago and it was very nice, and the Canadians with Mr at the time liked it too.
