Whats On Tap At The Platform Bar - Brissy

[Snowdog]

Hmm... I hope there's a beer left by this evening....
*starts plottong on how to get out of work early*

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:

Does this mean you are going to be there in a supervisory capacity as well?

Cheers

I wish Mossy! But SWMBO has other plans for me tonight... I might even get lucky

C U around 4.30-5.00 Mossy, I've got to build a climbing frame for the Hallertau first.

Just got back from lunch at the Platform Bar and sad to say the Stout and the Doppelbock are all gone . The Dunkel is tasting fine, though. There is a special beer tasting thing on tonight from 5.30 i think. $15 from memory. You may have to RSVP, so give them a call.

Cheers - Snow

Greedy bugger .

Yeah the Wallabies performance drove me to drink more than my fair share on Saturday night :icon_drunk:

They had their 'back alley beer club' tasting Friday night. Today the list is back to the usual JS3, Fat Yak, Hoegaarden, etc. The best was SC Dunkel and S&W.

Yes they do! It was one I would have now and again at ye olde Brewhouse.

Hey guys - I just got back from Japan a while ago and have been to the platform bar twice now. Seems like a good set up. Any information you could enlighten me with - ie when they have tastings, how to get an updated list of taps etc. The website is pretty useless.



Saw the bottle shop had a few interesting beers - like murrays anniversary and double dead guy. But I think Nectar is my go to place in Brissie so far

 

[WSC]

The platform bottlle shop is not as good as nectar. although the range of Meantime and Rogue ATM is great in the platform bottlo. I still rate the bar as the best in Brissy.

 

[jonno79]

...which obviously isn't saying a lot unfortunately

 

[Snowdog]

Yes, unfortunately. Their offering was in a sorry state Tuesday night as they only had 6 taps working. The SC Dunkel blew out and they said they had a flat keg. Best of the litter was #1... Stone & Wood. The rest were Fat Yak, James Squire Amber, Golden, & Pilsner, and Hoegaarden. Was told Alpha Pale was coming, as was a Burleigh beer.

You can get full pints of S&W at the Pig for a buck-fiddy more, Hoegaarden at the Belgian Beer Cafe, Fat Yak just about about anywhere, & James Squire at several other places. I'm sure these are what pays the bills, but here's to hoping they up their game with more of the locals (Brisbane Brewing. Eagle Heights, Mt Tamborine)

 

[jonno79]

Was there last night but didnt stay because the tap list was awful

2 squires

stone and wood

hoegaarden

fat yak



Thats it...not much of a 'beer bar'

 

[WSC]

Yep tap beers are average at the moment.

Forced me to get some different bottled beers. Meantime, Goat Steam, Hop Rocker etc etc, forgot about all those beers after all the good taps they have had up until recently.

Hopefully the taps come good again. Soon!

 

[Snowdog]

My whole thing is if I'm going to a pub for beer, I want it out of a tap. Bottles are for home.
Haven't been by in a week because if I want what they had last time I get it in the Queen Street area.
Was thinking of stopping on Saturday afternoon. If its the same ol' I'll take the walk to the Belgian.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention this:

We (BeerMasons) are coming to Brisbane! Chris and the rest of The BeerMasons crew are heading north to raise money for the Royal Childrens' Hospital Music Therapy Unit. We are hosting an event at The Grand Central Hotel on Sunday 11 October.

Did the Platform last night with a couple of boys from work for a couple of quickies.

Has the S&W and a Fat Yak because I only had an hour and had to drive. S&W was very honey like on the nose. Hadn;t had a FY on tap, so went it over the other offers on the tap list from Burleigh, JS and Hoe. S&W empotied while we were there too.

Saw Mossy and BenC having a couple too.

 

[Bribie G]

I spent a couple of hours there today looking in on the State Comp judging, and drank water <_< <_<

I'm now at work waiting to start shift. From memory current list is:

S&W
Fat Yak
JS Gold, Pilsener and Amber
Hoegarden

I'll get there for a BEER eventually :icon_cheers:
