Whats On Tap At The Platform Bar - Brissy

[beersom]

Nope but it is up for sale!

No way???? Fookin hell! A very sad day indeed Hmmm doesn't make me wanna dance that's for sure. Craft brewing scene up here is struggling for variety as it is. Absolute shame!

Tell ya what I'll be the silent partner. Looked at it a while back and the figures would need to improve to be viable but it certainly is doable IMO.

Yeah I hear ya. Old KRAB 107.7 in Seattle was a subscriber shoestring operation its whole life. I do like the Zed & am a subscriber. Usually I find myself tuning over when Triple J is playin rap...

So yeah... How would a community brewery work?
Pot: One time donation
Schooner: Monthly donation.
Pint: Monthly donation of $50
Growler: Weekly donation of $50
Keg: $250 a week or $1000 a month
Etc.

Getting back to the Platform... I'm glad I got up there when I did. Of the current list... I could be happy with the Hightail. I like it better on tap as opposed to the bottles.

I flew down to brissy a fortnight ago specialy to go to the platform bar, Yep, you guessed it, closed on a Saturday night (website still said open) Cabbed it to the German club which closed when less then half way through the carte de Jour. Cabbed to the Belgian beer cafe which was empty - But was still refused entry? All in all a lousy firkin night!

 

[Snowdog]

That had to suck! I have to say that having the Platform doors closed at various times when I took the time to get up there has been the biggest frustration with the place.

Should have given the 5th Element in South Bank a go. They got a couple decent taps, some good bottles, and are usually open quite late on a Saturday night.

Last Saturday all the Mountain Goat brews were marked off. The two Stone & Wood brews, Draught & Lager, Hoegaarden, JG Golden, JS Pilsner and Duke Pale was the available brews. I had a Duke, and a Rogue Yellow Snow.

Delivering a couple of kegs up tomorrow:

Dave Clarke's Belgian Blonde
Chris Moss's Amarillo Pale Ale

Hopefully they'll go straight on tap

 

[winkle]

Goody, Stillscottish and I can drop in on the way to the Little Critters thingy (and probably after as well - Thursday may go on the too hard list).

 

[Snowdog]

The Chris Moss Pale was tops when I had some at the Platform before. I'll probably miss out this go ...

 

[Will88]

Taps as of last night:

S&W Ale
S&W Lager
Hoegaarden
JS Amber
JS Golden
Pipsqueak Cider
Duke Pale Ale
LC Rogers

Nothing too exciting. I did notice they now have the S&W Ale in the bottle so hopefully it will start popping up in some of the other bottle shops around Brissie.

I hope they put them on early in the afternoon...I've convinced the boss to err...hold a Friday afternoon "strategic planning" session there.

There's something pretty darn good waiting its turn in the cellar as well B) .
