All three beers by White Rabbit Brewing were ace, but the sour was the standout. That's a well thought out theme Shamus, Beers sound pretty good to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 On the way back rom the shops I noticed a Distillery has just opened up down the Highway - https://threefolddistilling.com.au/ Mainly Gin from what I can see but it might be worth a visit & have a taste. It's a pity it wasn't a Brewery !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I managed to hide a few of these from the Easter weekend onslaught of visitors, I must say I am glad I did, it really is a smooth drinking Ale with a lovely creamy head. I will buy this again. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll post a pic shortly Phil, as soon as it’s a socially acceptable time to go to the pub Smithwicks is just so much better than Kilkenny. Apparently becuse it would be hard to properly pronounce the name Smithwicks (it's like Smitticks) and because the taste of Kilkenny is more to international taste buds, they decided to not export it. I think the real reason is that they want to keep the good stuff for themselves. Smithwicks Red is a lovely drop. I practically lived on it when we toured Ireland 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Local brewery near the other house, decent beers. Dark Ale and a lager not earth shattering but good. Edited April 21, 2022 by interceptor 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 And the journey continues… Tanned Fruit from Backet Brewing. It’s an Imperial Fruited Sour and at 10.2% abv, it does pack a serious punch. The alcohol is well masked but so is the fruit flavour. It is sour and all but the fruit don’t seem to be too recognizable. It more like a compote. And did I mention it packs a punch? This one is more like it. Summer of Sour from Aether Brewing. It is a Forest Berry Sour and at 8.2% abv, not much more tame than the above. Again, the alcohol taste is well masked, maybe it is the sourness doing it. I can identify some berries in it but am not sure if raspberries or black betties really are forest berries tbh. It is nice but. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them just have this sharp taste that IMHO ruins the beer. If I want to taste alcohol, I have a shot of Vodka. Others mask the alc a lot better. I guess it depends on the style and the brewer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean, I am a huge fan of Vodka, among my favourites are Russian Standard or Finnish but your talking about 40% ABV however it is not the same experience in beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hawaiian Pale Ale - Ballistic Beer Co Hmm' not sure what I am drinking here, a big hop presence, murky, watery this is insipid, I think they have used water from the Brisbane Mud Springs. I won't buy this again it doesn't taste like beer & crap head retention 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
