Whats On Tap At The Platform Bar - Brissy

[jlm]

Nah, going to Rosies for the metal-circle-jerk-fest. Drop in if you can, haven't seen you in a while

Gotta meet the missus in town before so gonna drop in for a bit, try to avoid whatever crap is on offer at the riverstage. And then there's the other metal-circle-jerk-fest on wednesday night......

BTW can anyone fill me in on the 'Big helga'?



What style, if any, is it?

Can't find anything on this beer on this interweb thingy ... anyone?

Hmmm, my googling gave me 'Big Helgas gyno exam' which I don't think is what you (or I ) were looking for :blink:.

I think I'm going to book Thursday in as a sickie, should probably grab tickets for that soon

Big Helga is a Helles style lager.
It has not been released yet..... this is a preview tasting..... it is so new that this keg is unfiltered!
My bet is that many Fosters/Matilda Bay reps don't even know that this beer exists yet.

Guessing it's a load of greasy heavy metal dudes stood round a bowl of weetbix. Last person to err... has to eat the results...

maybe not?

Maybe a disco for the terminally bewildered who like role playing games and re-enacting medieval scenarios, and hair products.

Meanwhile, back on the topic... I think I might even pop in on Friday for a couple, check out the tap list, and avoid SWMBO...

Im sick as. Could still probably drink h34r: , but wouldn't smell or taste a thing.

Have a great one,

PB

Can confirm that the beers are flowing went there for lunch.

Also had a burleigh Brewers Ale, which I think was pretty tasty. Hop Hog was good but didn't blow me away. Have fun if you are going there tonite

Enjoyed the Platform tonight. The Big Helga was a good 'first beer', & the Hop Hog was a tasty followup to it. The Feral wit was a nice smooth drink, but would have preferred the Stone & Wood I think. The Burleigh Brewers Ale was a good brew to finish with, but as with most of their brews, it doesn't quite get to the top notch with me. the exception is the hefe. A good start to "Craftoberfest".

Just wondering about the Brewer's Ale - what was the ABV on that? It tasted to me about 5 to 6% but I'm not sure. I thought it was a strong ale style wise...does anyone agree or disagree?

4.8% from memory. A pleasent beer, much nicer than the rather bland bottled "My Wifes Bitter".

cheers Ross

I thought the Brewers ale was in the amber ale camp but after drinking a few feral hop hogs the old taste buds might have been a bit ted. We had a good afternoon there yesterday - thanks to the staff for putting up with us. I really enjoyed the Hop Hog, Big Helga (without the jpgs this time) and the White while a few bottles of Murrays AA2 put the final nail in the coffin

Got an email last night that there is going to be a lunch on at the platform with the MasterChef beer guy and a heap or good beers - Nogne, Rogue, Flying Dog etc (from memory)

I think it is on this Sunday - sorry it was late and I deleted the email because I can't go!!!

 

[kevo]

How was the Murray's AA2?

Have a bottle hidden away and a special occasion approaching - a good time to crack it or give it some more time?

Delicious - drinking well still :icon_cheers: , I'll have to try some more (slightly more soberer) to be sure, but I suspect it may be at its peak.
