One Man Banned Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Got a few free sips of this today on tap, amazing, will def keep my eye out for it in the store although I have never seen it in my local stores before. Bonus for The Simpsons reference, and bonus for my regular bartender who has an amazing ass in yoga pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Disappointing, sour taste in it. Seems unlikely to get a skunked batch when it was so recently produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Another craft brewed Mexican style. Definitely beats Modelo, Tecate, Corona, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Nice to see people doing some different styles of beer. Really don't get the hefeweizen notes they claim to be present. Still drank a bunch of these though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 My beer drinking is way down, mostly buying scotches and bourbons of late. But bought a few bombers for Thanksgiving. Will try to remember to take a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I've been going absolutely nuts for these lately: A red ale. Not sure I'll drink anything else again, ever. I don't normally drink during the week but all I can think of is having one of these. One's even enough, most of the time. They just taste so dang good. That Modus can up top is 3 standard drinks per can. Had one with dinner tonight, wow. HEll of a taste, quite a kick and at AUD$12 - USD$9 a can, hell of a cost as well.

One Man Banned Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 If that's craft beer that's basically like a $9 quart. A lot of craft brewers in the US are doing 22oz "bombers" for anywhere from $6 on up to $20-30 if they've used some rare or expensive ingredients (can't bring myself to pay much more than $12 and rarely do that). How much is a 6 pack in Aus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 That's actually a 500ml can, which means it's actually USD$18 a quart (I think a quarter gallon is just under one litre and this can is half a litre). That stuff is craft beer (not meant to sound snobbish but that's all I drink these days, standard beer is too watery for me now), nobody does any reds in bulk production for the major brewers in Australia. Your super-stock-standard Millers, Coors, Bud equivalents (VB, Carlton, XXXX, Tooheys) are from USD$10-13, your higher standard common beers (Coopers, Fat Yak, etc.) USD$14-17 and your craft beers (Lord Nelson Three Sheets, etc.) are around USD$18 and upwards from there. Tried one of these today: Was pretty damned fine as well. Not a high alc. content at 4.8% but the flavour was just maaaasive. Really enjoyed it. Also very much like the American Pale Ales, this one is called Crankshaft from the Bent Spoke Brewery (pardon the wankiness of the pic, was for sending to a colleague stuck at work) But this is my current all-time fav, A red IPA called Red Nut from Bent Spoke - just fucking phenomenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Those brews look great, seems like you guys are getting hosed on the 6 packs though. Not sure if we still get Coopers in the US as I was drinking the AUS/NZ beers years ago but it was definitely under $10 at that time. Seem to remember that we also used to get West End. And of course you find Fosters around, I assume that is like the Bud of Australia. All the more reason to head to the brewery like you have done.

Brink Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Anyone here into Mead at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I've probably tried a dozen different meads over the years. I think its fine. Not bad, not necessarily good either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Iv just recently started trying Meads, due to the fact my brother brews them.... I have conflicting feelings about it, was wondering if anyone has suggestions on meads I could try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Like Fist said, have had many over the years, some great, some not so. There's really a lot of people doing them locally with limited distribution so you may want to look inot that, although with a brother making them I'd hop onto that train. Sorry can't recall names but had a few at a bar weeks ago that were quite good, one was flavored with chili and apple or cherry I think, the other maybe had some blueberry to it. Good stuff to fuck with, you can also keep an eye out for braggots, kind of like crossing mead and beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I've tried a few meads, not bad but nothing that's rocked my world as yet. Having a couple tonight that I picked up from a local specialty shop. This one was fantastic - an Australian brewer: THis one was sensational, from the UK (was thirsty and forgot to take a pic of the beer itself): THis one is ok but a bit light on the heaviness. From Scotland, not a deep flavour like I prefer in a red ale but would do nicely for a hot afternoon/BBQ: [ATTACH=full]215135[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hua Guofang Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 An Australian Brew, excellent: A beer from London, the best of the evening: Have no reds left, so I'm falling back on a tried and true pale: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Can't make these suckers straighten up. First one was surprisingly awesome, looked like your standard tryhard mainstream company's version of a craft brew. But, it's awesome, a super full flavored amber..., pretty much a red. The IPA was a good IPA, would have again. The Irish red ale was decent, needed another 2-3 to really get a handle on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
