Is that a holiday house or just a favourite spot when you visit Italy? Yes, it’s a holiday gaff that I share with my brother and half brother. We each get to use it about 3 weeks a year. Shame it’s such a long drive for me - 10 hours + : they can fly with a cheapo RyanAir flight to Ancona, otherwise it’s a 3 day drive from the UK. I’d come down for a long weekend if it was a 5 hour drive or so. Anyway, here’s a rareish steak for you mate You wouldn’t know it but the Italians are into their t-bones, it’s not all pizza and pasta. This meat here cost me about 40% of what I pay, but in Switzerland farmers don’t get subsidies like they do in the EU (which Switzerland isn’t part of thank ***k, notwithstanding the cheaper meat) 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't eat them like that, also I hate fat with a passion, so I guess I will have to bring my own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hops should mellow heaps Well, it is ROTM and they are calling it Ale, IPA. But, as you say, that might just be to give people some idea of the style. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Tried to get some Coopers Lager last night for the Matilda’s game. Went to two “big” shops, no luck, Ended up with a more local dry and crisp Japanese style Lager. After a weekend of dark and strong brews this one goes down like lemonade. Nice to christen my new glass so 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do various demonstrations in store every other Saturday morning (the next one is making a yeast starter and then something else) and if the demo involves a brew it normally winds up on the wall. The oatmeal stout I sampled is from one of their FWKs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 At Thirsty Camel they have a sign in the Bottle Shop window advertising 8 x Cans or Stubbies of Pale Ale &/or Pacific Ale for $20.00. I have a Dan Murphy's just over the bridge at Glenelg & they reluctantly price matched it, so I ended up with 4 x Cans of Pale Ale & 4 x cans of Pacific Ale for $19.50. Not a bad deal I thought. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I was trying to decide if it was an IIPA or a Strong Ale. I landed on Strong Ale, but Old Ale would also seem to be darn close. I won't be arguing with anyone's palate that falls anywhere around these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltop hops Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 A few new crafties to try this arvo. Had the old trusty PL Pale on tap at lunch. Just cracked the Bowden Brewing Pale, tastes more like a hazy but its good. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I had to go to Port Adelaide (spit, spit) sorry @Pale Man this morning to have some new tyres fitted & much to my delight Big Shed Brewing was next door, I had a couple of drinks & purchased some merch I didn't need, shown is the Jetty Jumper Ale (nice) Then I called in to Pirate Life Brewing & had a couple (Stout shown) & of course back home as I had a lunch appointment with a few mates. Quite a pleasant morning apart from the tyre bill 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I found this at Aldi today had never heard of it before. You SA forum members might know it. Not a bad drop at 7% but sadly like most so called boutique beers now lacks the body of a big beer. Cant pick the hops after a few sips I don't think the can says exactly what. It's hard to read small print and grey writing on a black can. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltop hops Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Another overpriced hoppy number from Dans. Its good but I gotta slow down on the crafties. Picked up a FWK today. 2 fermenters going, another AG in 2 weeks. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I have been putting wood chips in the front garden, hard work so I thought I deserved this. I may have to have another to get my breath back. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 You are looking at $22.50 worth of one of the best stouts you will get anywhere, always reliable & consistently magnificent. I am over these 13c days down by the sea, bring on the summer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re' 13c, you go through more of it when it's also blowing 80-90km/hr outside on the Fleurieu Coast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
