Couple of new beers for me today. Funny enough, they taste very similar to the beer I brew. My new one coming out next year is called Ruby Red too, haha. Anyway, great tasting beers, highly recommend getting your hands on these.

It's pretty close to the bottle version which is 5.2%. The can is 4.7%. It looks like it's based on Orfey's clone recipe which seems to be the flag bearer for Hobgoblin clones.

Which yeast are you going to use?

Apologies for all the questions, it's one of my favourite all time beers. There's a recipe in the Recipe section here that I'm going to have a crack at next year.

I am planning to use Mangrove Jacks M36 Liberty Bell, mostly because I have some in the fridge, saved from a previous brew.

Day 1 of the advent calendar. Hops Don’t Lie by Rocky Ridge  Brewing. This is a DDDDDDHWCIPA, so I take it they mean a doubledoubledoubledoubledoubledouble hopped West Coast IPA. It has some light hop aromas and on the flavour front, I can pick up bitter, bitter, bitter and bitter. Oh yes, there is also a little bitterness. No other hop flavours. I taste a little oats but that is all. Maybe they should drop a few d’s or change their meaning from double to dry. Not sure who is supposed to like this but I sure as hell don’t. Gimme a beer anytime. Rocky Ridge doesn’t tell us the IBU and what I can find on them Interwebs varies from 33.5 to 65.

Advent Calendar, day 2. Insane Uncle by Dainton Beer. A run if the mill IPA. Hoppy as expected, nice aromas and fruity flavours, well balanced with a good bitterness and some light malt flavours. This is a lot more pleasant on the palate than yesterday’s offering.

It was a big day/night at the Merri Mashers Christmas Party yesterday. There were at least 18, maybe 20 beers on tap plus plenty of bottles doing the rounds. There was also heaps of delicious food. The weather wasn't great but the club's big marquee plus a few smaller ones kept out the rain.

There was a door prize of a 25kg bag of Australian Ale Malt and the first 50 people got a 100g packet of Citra hop pellets. I didn't win the door prize and when I left (last to leave) I forgot to grab my bag of hops.

It didn't matter as I went back today to help pack up, the party was held just two streets away from my house, and I came away with two bags of hops, some food, and a couple of cans of beer.

Overnight Adelaide trip with the daughter, stopped in to Uncle Dan's, walked out with these, couple of new ones in the mix. About to take the daughter for a swim in the Hotel pool while these beauties cool down in the state of the art mini fridge/freezer.....looks like it's 20yrs old (hopefully they are cold in an hour or so) 

Cheers all 🍻

A few nice ones in there Hoppy, the Double Stout is really good.

Well, what can I say about this one....not much, just a great, simple Pale Ale. I'm definitely a fan of U.K beers, not over the top and covered up with 12kg of hops, bravo.

Another easy drinker. I've definitely realised my brewing is brewed around the U.K market without knowing until late. I'm not a Brewer thats over the top with hops, I prefer a clean brewed beer where the malt shines, must be the Pom in me haha.

Come on mate, that's only 3 so far, get into it. 🤣

I must say I have tried a lot of those but didn't like that one very much. I seem to favour hop-forward beers.
