Classic Brewing Co Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 H'mmm I rest my case about all of these breakfast cereal/fruit salad/cheese cake/dead ant beers they keep making. Just give me beer ... with hops of course. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me beer ... with hops of course. I don't mind drinking unusual beers. I like to experiment tasting and also brewing unusual or non-conservative beers. It's all about exploring the possibilities and they're indeed endless. However I do think some breweries are pushing the boundaries a little too far. Let us get used to some level of experimentation first, then go further. Otherwise it's just going to be lost within all the weirdness out there. But I agree, give me a bog standard beer any day and I'm happy...well, maybe not XXXX or VD...oops...VB kind of bog standard 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take for example I recently had some Margarita Gose, it was lovely, a very refreshing vibrant drink but it tasted nothing like beer !! Then there was the Ballistic Beer Co - Hawaiian Haze Pale Ale ... get out of here ... bloody awful. I can drink any beer Pales/IPA/Draught/Bitter/Stout/Porter/German Wheat Beer/Pilsner etc ... & I love all of the hops out there that deliver different flavours/aromas but surely that's enough without going through your pantry to see what else you can add. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 From a local brewery near where I am staying at Tremezzo in Lake Como. In a world of Peroni, this lager was great. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Kasteel Rouge - a type of Kriek but with more oomph. The glass might be the original but it looks like one you might serve your Granny a sweet sherry in at Christmas. Admittedly a large one 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Local liquor barn had these on special for $15 for a 4 pack, so bugger it, bought 2 packs, I’m on R&R. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I found these on Special today normally $24.50 but they were $14.50, that is a bargain, I have seen these before at Liquor Land but always thought they would be a bit ho-hum. I was wrong a very pleasant surprise, well balanced, hop driven, citrus & malty, apparently dry hopped. I found out it should be good, see below. Tinnies Pale Ale, which is brewed in Victoria by craft brewers Brick Lane Brewery, was named World’s Best Pale Bitter in the 4.5% to 5.5% category. The beer was picked out of more than 3,500 beers from 56 countries over a series of blind tastings. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know must of them put more energy in to their label design more than the beer !! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 2nd beer purchase - Royal Dutch Lager - 4.3% Extra Smooth, soft, light, subtly sweet and malty with a clean, dry hop finish. Not bad either when you consider 4 x 500ml cans for $12.00. I have had this before & it is very pleasant & so clear !! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
