These were typically the opening beer of each evening. The rest of each evening was split between Byron Bay Brewery's Premium Lager, Coopers Session Ale and Gage Roads' Single Fin, plus a few others thrown in. Good times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All up, supposedly 2.5 standard drinks worth of alcohol. But was shared by three people. It was a great selection of beers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 There’ll be no Christmas at the O’Sean household this year. Daddy has spent it all on craft beer. The manager at the independent bottle shop however .... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Some from the last few days. Just enough flavour to be interesting but remain highly drinkable. Would be a great beer to take along to a BBQ. Sea water is one of the ingredients. I (think) I can pick it up in the finish - nice and dry. I liked it. Not bad. Definitely a hefeweizen. Didn't pick up too much on the extra hops except for a fair bit of extra bitterness. Enjoyed it the further I got through the glass. This one was a cracker. Fresh, zippy and zingy are the best descriptors I have for it. Guava came through well as did the hops. A really good beer. I'd be stoked if I could make a pale this good. I'll have to try out some of their other stuff. Points for the name as well. Another solid beer. Subtle flavours of pineapple and chilli that come together really well. Happily surprised with this one. Exactly as it says on the can. Lemonade Sour. Was great on a hot day. I reckon it would appeal to non beer drinkers as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudley Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Been on long service for a couple of Months and travelled over to SA twice, So when in Hahndorf wot you do is try all the German Beer, not much of a fan of Wheat Beer and thought the Pilsner was the pick of tastings Schloss Hell, Pilsner, Zwicklbier , Weissbeir , Schloss Dunker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Nice brewery. Not a huge range of beers; just the standard range plus a few limited release beers. The Trial Ale and the Peanut Butter Choc stout were good. I didn’t do the tour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchBastard Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thought I’d give these bad boys a go. Bargain bin at Dans and a decent workout for the liver at 10%. Definitely warmed the insides up on this rainy Xmas eve. Without having a side by side comparison it reminds me of a super charged 2019 coopers vintage ale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the plethora of fancy can designs these days, aimed at attracting your attention, their design looks a bit uncomplicated. Maybe the simplicity is what attracted me to buy it.
