Just a test to see if I can post pics using my iPhone...

Nothing special, but not a bad drop either. Paled in comparison to the Tower 10 IPA I had afterwards though.

Thanks for that. I saw it and the tower (and the IPA with the big marlin on it) at Dan's.

I ended up getting the Vale IPA, because it was for a mate who isn't quite there yet with IPA (though his "main" beer has switched from CB to Fat Yak, so there is progress).

I wanted to try a beer with Wai-iti, but it's always the way - that's the biggest selling point on them.

After cleansing my palette with one of my own Hoppy Honey Bluckwits I had this ripper offering from Mountaingoat. Phukin delicious! Will grab a couple more next time I'm @ the bottle shop.

MountainGoat is an AMAZING brand so I will be looking for this next time I hit up the bottle shop

Nice. Havent seen many of these on the bottleshop shelf before. I think DM's used to stock the Bright, but not with this label. Also used to stock the Mudgee ones but no longer. The Mudgee Brewery is actually quite a nice setup from visitors point of view. Cafe/Brewery together, and in the heart of town which is nice (better than having to travel to an industrial estate).

Havent seen or tried the Steam Exchange beers.

This is a fricken awesome IPA. Hopefully fresh samples like this continue to get stocked by Dan's. I think the problem is that they buy a f**kload and it doesn't sell super quick so six months down the track we're getting beer from the first shipment that's been sitting around incorrectly treated. Mind you with the level of hop in this I can see it lasting well.

Mate the Steam Exchange beers are a top drop,especially the "Truffles"

Nothing out of the ordinary tonight, a bottle of Belgian wine for $15.
Chimay White 750l, should warm things up nicely.

Top work by your old man there Will..

I know DM cops alot of sh*t for mishandling beers but I bought a bottle of Hargreaves Hill Pale Ale from them this week and the problem ain't handling.

Pour was a bit lively, aroma was distinctive but it took me a while to think what it reminded me of.............

Horse Piss on Straw.........Barnyard...........Brett!

Had a look at the cap and its got all sorts of funky sh*t on the seal.

This is Australian Orval, pretty sure that was not what they were aiming for!

Bad news for the brewery but made me fell good that even bigger guys that brew beer for a day job have problems.

Thanks Stew - I don't feel so bad sitting here drinking my 'shoulda been pils' but is now a Strong Lager.

Nor that bad a mistake now,

This thread is an inspiration to try different beers. Might have to take a run down to Dans this week. Fancy trying some more IPAs
Dans seem to be expanding their range of beers all good for us the punters.

really worth seeking out in Dans it's a cracker of an IPA loads of bitterness with a slight hint of sweetness from the malt. 6.8 ABV loverly drop Columbus and Centennial used to hop. Had to buy the last 6 pack of Zweic Porter on the shelf.

Also worthy of a try is Vale IPA lots of citrusy hops quite nice on the lower side of bitterness.

Pint of pale at the little creatures dining hall. Still burping up hop flowers.

Last night

Found it to be pretty underwhelming. After having another Wai-iti beer at GABS I can't see what the fuss is about really. My idea of a Kiwi Pale Ale is Mash Up. This was rather tame and if anything the mild hop level was overpowered by the malt profile. Would like to chuck Wai-iti at my Pale Mild recipe as a big late addition to see if I can make it shine!


Right now

Bitten by a snakewoman at work today. Thought I'd treat myself to a refridgerated Rodenbach. Second time I've had it, last time was room temp and it was a little full on acetic.....this is REALLY nice, tip-toeing the line between beer and a good red wine........and balsamic vinegar...

 

[Malted]

All very well made beers. The Black IPA isn't really my thing but I still have to say it is a well made beer.
