Had some monteiths southern pale ale. As with most monteiths, was a very good beer. $55 a case too.

Just been for a successful outing to The Public Brewery for tea and a few pints. Had a chat to old mate Brendan about the Eastland branch...it all sounds very exciting.
And it seems I have now have the 'thirst'.

Brewcult Black IPA. Very nice, Simcoe/Mosaic/Chinook.
The Mosaic isn't really evident over all the resins, but still a good beer.

The Durham Brewery Temptation. Russian Imperial Stout.

Oh yeah baby. Hot alcohol notes for sure, roasted dark goodness all 'round and bucket loads of flavour. My first RIS, won't be the last.
 
And this beer, anyone heard of it? Shamefully never tried it before either. Very enjoyable.

Chimay's a good drop for sure. Not sure if I've had the red but the blue one is great.

Return of the Dread for me. Nice and toasty.

Dan Murphys member special this month. $10 per six pack, as well as their new pointer pale ale

I hate Monteiths....bland *****.
Only the Winter Ale (Dopplebock) is anywhere near drinkable, IMO.

Me too. Rubbish stuff.

On the upside I bought some Fortitude Pacer 2.8, which is a light beer from Fortitude Brewing company. For a light beer it was full of flavour.

Yep, I bought two sixers of the Pointers pale ale for $10 each, but would much rather drink my own. Problem is I needed something to drink while my kegs condition.
 
I tried the montieths southern pale ale a while ago to see if I liked southern cross hops they use I don't like that hop. It may be why you don't too.
 
My kids chipped in and bought me a sixer of each on the $10 special for dad's day, nothing special as a beer, certainly drinkable, the fact my kids got 'em for me...they'll do me alright.
 
Unpasteurized Pilsner Urquell straight from the tank, in The White Horse, Parsons Green.
They claim it is direct from the brewery to the tank. Certainly tastes fresh and has a lovely creamy mouthfeel.

Anytime IPA. Not bad. But more like a APA masquerading as an IPA. Bit thin on it and fizzy.
Whats on the label has a lot to do with priming your perception of whats in the bottle in my opinion so i was a little underwhelmed.
At $24.95 for a sixer at my local, at least it was priced like a genuine IPA guess.
