My favourite in the Shepherd Neame range remains their IPA, it is such a great traditional English IPA. It is sort of against our Aussie upbringing, but this Kentish Strong needs to be consumed at English cellar temps of about 12°C to get its full taste experience. Us Mexicans are just a little green with envy looking at this pic....it's wintery weather here and we're 2/3rds the way through Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I scored the last 6 x pack on special at BWS, normally $24.00 - out for $15.00, worth every cent, I really like this one. It is well balanced & the hop choice is brilliant. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Another Monastery, another great beer. This one is slightly more bitter than the last ones but I am very happy that I included this one in my beer pack. Easy drinking after a hard day at work. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The whole reason why I got the pack in the first place was the Korbinian, as I couldn’t get it anywhere else. Reading about it I just got really curious. And it didn’t disappoint. It’s a thick, sweet, dark and complex DoppelBock, with the 7.4% slowly creeping up on you. A exceptional drop to chill out in the late afternoon in the backyard. Luckily I’ve ordered two, so I can do it all again tomorrow. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Wow, 8.2% of wowness, this one is just another level. Never heard of a Hopfenweisse Weizendoppelbock before, but I will never forget it. Better have some dinner soon: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 This is my first taste of this IPA, but I have sampled most of their range but this one is especially good, nice & hoppy, spicy & well balanced. My only whine is I could get 3 for $20.00 last week - now 3 for $18.00. What do you do 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I thought I would go searching for fence posts for a couple of different shots, this is the first one I came up with just down the road, I call this my backyard, the XPA looks a bit murky in the sunlight, but it is a nice drop & it's too damn cold with the breeze. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Now for the front yard, the Patawalonga River, lovely in the sun but a bit windy & dark in the shade. Back to Phil's Bar & Grill. I still reckon there a lots of IPA's better than this but it is not bad. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Great Beer, Interesting facts Forbidden as it was to brew in summer, a stronger beer – the Märzen – was brewed earlier in March. It would finally be served at the Oktoberfest, under the “Heaven of Bavaria”. We have returned once again to the age-old recipe and recreated that gloriously smooth, honey-coloured piece of history from times gone by. And all is brewed with due reverence to the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.During the first years of the Oktoberfest, the Bavarian brewing law from 1539 stipulated that beer could only be brewed between the “Michaeli” or St. Michael’s day on September 29 and St. George’s feast day, April 23. It was forbidden to brew in the summer because the boiling process was considered a fire hazard. Moreover, bottom-fermented beer needs a temperature between 4–6°C for fermentation. Of course, no one wanted to forgo the pleasures of beer drinking in the summer, so a surplus quantity was brewed. And such are the origins of the beer known as Märzen. The last beer brewed at the end of the brewing season was given a higher gravity to increase its shelf life, since Märzen beer was to be sold throughout the summer and during the fall’s folks festivals. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Another delicious Doppelbock ABV 7.3% Bottom-fermented, bock beer, pearl hops, Dark barley malt, caramel malt, colored malt. Malty-aromatic, sweet, intense fragrance, strong taste, reminiscent of a light note of coffee 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I just had the last bottle of Shepherd Neame IPA & I have come to the conclusion that I didn't really enjoy it, IMO it a bit syrupy & leaves an awful taste in your mouth, that's why I am having something nicer to get the taste out of my mouth. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Now for a Classic Brewing Pale Ale, I think is better but of course we are all going to say that aren't we. Cheers & Happy Sunday, 27c down the Bay, how good is that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Dan Murphy's member special - 4 for $16.00 that's a good buy for a 650ml bottle & a great beer as well. These glasses will be saved for bottling, almost a longneck. I have had this before & I will be having it again. prosit 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 It was yesterdays tasting, a Maisel's Dunkel. Nice beer, but the Original is much better. For a Dunkel Weizen I would rather go for a Weihenstephaner or Franziskaner. But saying this not a bad beer at all 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 It doesn't happen often that I can't finish half a glass of beer, but this one did it to me. It is utterly delicious, just a bit strong. Schneider Aventinus Eisbock Magic and a black soul - the mahogany coloured, almost black "Eisbock" for sensuous indulgence, best served in a balloon glas. Matured in a special freezing process following a special recipe, with a soft, elegant body, but still intensive. Spicy flavours of plum, banana and clove reveal themselves along with a hint of bitter almond and marzipan. Tempting as digestif, to crepes, dark chocolate, Tiramisu and fully ripe parmesan cheese. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree it looks nice, probably tastes nice but you wonder is 12% really necessary? I am no wowser & I can handle high ABV beers, but you have to draw the line somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The taste and mouthfeel is very nice, it’s like a port, thick, sweet, exactly as it did get described, intense and concentrated. It’s not a day to day beer, but for special occasions. It is an interesting process to produce it. Found an interesting anecdote about its discovery https://learn.kegerator.com/eisbock/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame @Aussiekrautfor posting all the delicious German Beers, so I had to get myself a little present of beers I haven’t tried before. And the first one is just sensational. The Frankonian Benediktiner monks just knew what to do. During times of fasting liquid was allowed, so they created this beautiful liquid food. 8% of malt, hops and their own spring water goodness. I would have got vision as well drinking this beautiful brew all day. Holy Cow! 8% beer on an empty stomach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminal2k Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I reached a milestone today that I don't know if I should celebrate. In one of the bars I used to frequent a lot when I worked in the city, the manager was checking the security cameras from home and saw I was here so told the bar staff he'd sort out the next round. I can't decide if being shouted a beer from a manager that isn't even at the pub is an achievement or an indication that I drink too much. Anyway, the "Maybe one more PSI" from verdant brewing in England was the most expensive beer on tap so that's what I chose for my freebie. Was really quite nice. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
