Classic Brewing Co Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Yuk, Great Northern & in a VB glass it tastes even worse! One of my 'tightbottom' mates popped in for a drink & brought one lousy can of the rubbish & ended up drinking 3 of mine. This beer is tasteless, boring & very ho-hum. I thought I would drink it in case he remembered he left it here. I don't make many lagers but this one is the pits. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Northern is the beer for people that dont drink real beer, it really is watery shite. Its amazing how many of my mates love it. At least VB has some maltiness to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just opened a Goat can get the taste out of my mouth & I got a burst of hops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s on the same level like Byron Bay Lager, had some on a party, one sip and the rest went down the drain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true Jenny once you start brewing with malts and steeping grains you start to realise how watery commercial beers actually are 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some stage temperature control was introduced & that improved everything beyond doubt. Now with AG brewing that changed everything again & every aspect of the beer is far superior to any extract brews from appearance, body, mouthfeel, head retention, taste etc. Adding kegging was the icing on the cake, it is so much better than bottling & I couldn't be happier. Of course, we are still learning & strive to eliminate faux pas & improving wherever possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Charlie Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Brouhaha Lager from Maleny, Sunshine Coast. Very clean, malty with not too much hops on the backend. Very tasty. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started out wanting to make a brew as much like Tooheys New as possible. Now he is into brew enhancers and likes beers with a bit of body - but not too keen on hops. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where he is coming from - a good Aussie lager or European lager always goes down well. It's my personal mission this year is to get a good all round daily driver that even my mates will enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
