What, is that the SCB Summer Ale or that other thing?

Monteith's Summer Ale.

 

[bconnery]

tap list as of Friday afternoon was:
Stone and Wood Draught
Little Creatures Special Brew
Sunshine Coast Best Bitter
Monteiths Summer Ale
Hoegaarden
Duke Hefe
JS Amber, I think, I can't remember for certain...
Something else that escapes me...

So a mix at the moment anyway but I'll forgive any venue that has Stone and Wood Draught. I really like that beer.
The Littles Creatures Special Brew was good too.

 

[Will88]

I don't like the Duke beers at all but the Burleigh Hefe stands out from that brewery.

Tis a tasty drop and I'm quite partial to SCBs Best Bitter as well, must be time for a visit .

White Rabbit Ben?

 

[Snowdog]

Something else that escapes me...

Fat Yak? Big Helga maybe?

So a mix at the moment anyway but I'll forgive any venue that has Stone and Wood Draught. I really like that beer.

Yeah me too. Stone & Wood is the redeeming factor for the Queen Street Pig n Whistle.
And why did Milano's on Queen Street replace Little Creatures Pale with that house contract brew Spitfire IPA?

 

[WSC]

It's Fat Yak.

I went last night and the FY was off, but they had LCPA on instead. The current word hot off the lips off some LC reps who were in earlier today was that there will be a seasonal. limited run (ie 100 cases) of an LC IPA coming out in the coming weeks. Should be an interesting brew... :icon_drool2:

It would probably be the Stimulus wouldn't it? Unless they've come up with a new recipe.
Have to keep an eye out anyway...

 

[Bribie G]

BribieG and RdeVuyn (Ralph from Toowoomba down here on a work trip) will be ensconced at the Platform Bar from 4.30 on Thursday (this week, 11th February).

I'm using pu-bic transport so will be in a position to get tanked. Likewise Rde who will be staying in local digs.

I'll be wearing the new AHB shirt.

Sounds perfect to me Bribie! I just haven't quite got my uniform sorted yet...

If Platform has still got Stone & Wood then there's maybe no need to head down to Riverside. I'm not too bothered if Yak is off either as the remaining casks sound quite appetising! For now, I'm not even going to think about what happens on Friday... :beerbang:

Nah mate, its a newish brew with some linkage back to stimulus according to my inside sources
The specs

5.6% ABV
Colour: 29EBC (pretty much in the middle of Pale Ale and Rogers')
55IBU
AE: 3.2 Plato
Pale Ale, munich, caramalt and dark crystal - grist is fairly similar to the Stimulus IPA but with a slightly higher dark crystal addition to richen up the malt slightly.100% Cascade from the 2009 crop - bittering hop addition to the kettle, huge addition to the whirlpool, standard addition to the hopback.

 

[WSC]

The latest updates is that Orchard Ale will be on in the next week or so.

Also MG Steam Ale is planned for March, that should be very nice.

Taps as of Thursday night:
Sunny Coast Best Bitter
James Squire Amber
Burleigh Hefeweizen
Stone & Wood Ale
? Hoegaarden
Monteith's Summer Ale

...and one other the name of which escapes me. Didn't try them all, I preferred the Sunny Coast Best Bitter to be honest, maybe that's because I like the style, still some great beers to be had and also jolly grand to catch up with BribieG! :beer:

On to the German Club for lunch today and seeing as I had to drive, only sampled the Erdinger...

International Hotel at Spring Hill next time. Anyone know if Union Jack's in Charlotte St is still open and worth a visit? I mentioned it to a colleague, he thought it had closed, didn't know if they served anything special other than Guiness and bottled imports (can't search anything much out, so my hopes aren't high). I'd never heard of it but I happened to walk past yesterday and it seemed to be open but seeing as I was late en route to the Platform, I didn't stop in to suss it out.

 

[Will88]

Don't know if UJ's is still open but I wouldn't hold your breath for anything special. Last time I was there the most adventurous beer they had was Kilkenny.

 

[RdeVjun]

Thanks Will, I'd guessed that it was just British- themed. Scratched!

 

[Snowdog]

The Union Jack would make a great taphouse if they pulled their finger out and put a few decent microbrews on tap. Kilkenny and Guinness was the best taps they had. Not worth going out of the way for.

Sunny Coast Best Bitter & Burleigh Hefe is worth a trip up to the Platform.....
