Whats On Tap At The Platform Bar - Brissy

[WSC]

Also Burleigh Hefe

 

[Snowdog]

As much as I liked the old Brewhouse with its one stop shopping of Little Creatures, Engine Pale, Kilt Lifter, and 4th Reich Schwarzbeir, I have to say making the trek to Milanos for a Little Creatures, then getting a pint of Stone & Wood at Pig & Whistle, then going to the Platform for a SC Dunkel, Burliegh Hefe, and a JS Hopthief, before returning to Queen St for a Stone & Wood finisher is a good sub. Damm I'm hammered....

 

[WSC]

Not sure if they will have samples? I might go down a bit earlier I think.

From the Grand Central Email:
Ross from Stone & Wood will be in Platform Bar at Grand Central this afternoon from 5pm to talk everything Stone & Wood.

Ross is one of three guys from Stone & Wood who share a love of beer, music & surf; they came together in one of the greatest places on earth (Byron Bay) to brew good beer.

Feel free to pop in for a chat and find out what Stone & Wood is all about.

 

[Snowdog]

That Stone & Wood is quite a good drop! I may be stopping by the Platform around 5 tonight for a couple beers. It will depend on timing and when my wife isdue back from the Gold Coast. Wonder if they still have the Dunkel & Hop Thief pouring...

 

[WSC]

They had dunkel and hop thief yesterday.

A Rogue Dead Guy Ale and a beer champagne called Lust as well as the murrays grand cru and anniversary ale............very good range at the moment

SCB Dunkel just ran out ....Hop thief still pouring.

More bottles yet to come including a couple from Cantillon, Nigerian Guinness Foreign Extra, Schlenkerla and a few other treats

 

[Snowdog]

Has the Hop Thief run out yet? How about the Duke Pale or Duke Hefe? Should get some JS Porter for the cool time of year.
Plan on stopping in tomorrow arvo after a trek to Next Byte & was curious what was on.

 

[WSC]

Hop Theif is out.

Cooper Vintage is on but think it is close to running out. Had one and there was lots of yeast/bits in it. Tasted good and nice an chewy.

Duke Plae on too as is Sunshine Coast Summer Ale.

New bottles in too. A few Rogues.

Nogne-0 #100 is an awesome barley wine but for $25 for 500ml it would want to be, it's 10% too.

3 JS are on tap too......yawn!!

 

[Snowdog]

Three JS's eh? Let me guess... Golden, Amber, Pilsener. *yawn* Why not try IPA & Porter in these cooler months?

That indicates a new keg to me. They normally just get nice and clear then....spit spit splutter splutter ....all gone!

Yeah I noticed that about the Cooper's Pale at the Pig Whistle. My pint was a cloudy brown, & the guy saw me looking at it and he said they just tapped a fresh keg. For comparison I went to Mick O'Malley's, where their turnover of Cooper's Pale is low, had a pot, & it was yellow/golden and quite clear. Both tasted good.

Back on topic... the Cooper's Vintage '08 is still pouring cloudy at the Platform as of last night.
Lovely stuff that.

 

[WSC]

Coopers Vintage is gone

SCB Dunkel back on

Brisbane Doppelbock on

Eagle Heights Stout...11.5% on

SCB Summer Ale on

Think there is only JS Amber Ale oh and Golden Ale (aka New with extra hops!!)

 

[Snowdog]

Wow! Some of the greats from Brewers Night!

After a pint of Stone & Wood Draught 4.4% at the Pig n Whistle on Queen Street, I spent the afternoon drinking the darks...
SC Dunkel 5%, Brisbane Brewing Dopplebock 7.2%, & Eagle Heights Stout 11.5%!
It was a tops line-up! Made for a fun bus-navigation home too.
The SC Summer was out by the way..

Hi Guys

I'm in Brisbane for work Wednesday and Thursday night and staying at the Stamford and just found out that the Platform is just down the road so just want to find out whats on tap and what people recommend. Cheers

 

[WSC]

Recommend the 3 above and any Stone and Wood, MT or Sunshine Coast beers in bottles they have. After all you are in QLD.

I was in there today and they just got a delivery of Meantime and Rogue so I would check them out too.

 

[Snowdog]

WSC, I take it the taplist is still the same?

 

[WSC]

The tap line up was still the same on Tuesday.

Be very careful there Winks. Mossy is an uncontrolable beer disposal unit when in full flight. You will get mesmorised by the shear power of the beast smashing pint after pint after relentless pint... then suddenly you realise that wooden wall is actually the floor :huh: and some very nice Mouri chaps are helping to find the footpath outside with your face. Best wear your sturdy drinkin' shoes. :beerbang:
