bar person informed me both out of orchards ale and burleigh hef.

so i went next door and had a pint of big helga.

For those that don't know, there is a Mountain Goat beer night on tonight at Platform Bar - Steam, Fancy Pants and Hightail will be on tap. $20 for one of each and some food. Places are limited so drop Matt a line if you're keen - mcoorey (at) drinx.com.au

I have heard that tickets for tonight may be sold out, they are expecting a big turn out. So get in quick if you want to go.

 

[thirstycritter]

Wow, that's great. So reassuring to know that these kind of events are attracting a decent crowd these days!

There will be a lot of people there...not sure how decent they will be...

 

[bconnery]

My understanding is that the event is sold out.
You can get the beers on tap though, but the Fancy Pants will be available to those at the event first...

 

[Snowdog]

Won't make this one. Will be in the city tomorrow so I may stop by and see what's left, if anything.

Enjoy!

Having sampled AndrewQLD's brew at the Eagle Heights brewery recently, this is well worth trying. I was very impressed, as was everyone else there. The aroma from this beer is amazing and so is the taste. Jealous that I can't be there tonight, especially to try the other AHB beers.

I wonder what filtered out on tap afterwards. Never made it up there Saturday, instead opting to go to the Belgian Beer Cafe as my wife love the Bel-Vue Kriek and this is the only place to find that. Afterwards we stopped at the 5th Element for an Alpha and a Franziskaner Weissbier Dunkel on our way home. I have to say all those many walks up to the Platform only to be disappointed (closed, closed due to private function, ordinary beer tap list, etc.) has taken its toll on convincing my love to take the walk. This Saturday the rain didn't help much either. I'll have to head up there sometime during the week after work.

So I sampled too many beers at the Platform tonight to even remember what is on the tap but I can recall that it is the best variety of microbrews I have seen in a long time. No sign of a JS or Matilda Bay beer, a couple of Mountain Goats and a few other interesting drops. This week would be a good one to pay a visit and enjoy the variety.

I agree Will! They redeemed themselves in spades today. The tap list was rather hard to read as the chalk had been rubbed and all, but I had some nice beer!
Here is the list as best as I could read it in its condition:

1. Stone & Wood Daaught
2. Eagle Heights Settlers Ale
3. Mountain Goat Hightail
4. Dave Jarls (?) Belgian Ale (the chalk was marred so thats the best I could decipher)
5. Mountain Goat something something Amber (out)
6. Chris Moss APA
7. Matilda Bay Rogers
8. Mountain Goat Steam Ale

I had a 2, 6 & 8 after I had a Stone & Wood at the Pig & an Alpha at the 5th.
A very good beer day for me!

That 4 is Dave Clarke's Belgian Ale (Aka Pocket Beer's Belgian Blonde)
5 is Fancy Pants

I liked the numbers. That's how we were ordering on Friday. I'll have 2 2's and a 4 thanks!

 

[Will88]

The Fancy Pants and Chris Moss APA were the stand outs for me. I'll have to get back in there and try the Belgium ale.

I can see getting that from what was left on the chalkboard. I would have liked a Fancy Pants but it was empty.

I hear rumor that Eagle Heights is closing down?

Nope but it is up for sale!
