Uraidla Brewery & Bridge Road colab Galactic Vortex DIPA.

Uraidla Brewery Horned God Wet hopped IPA - Chinook & Centennial  

Both great beers from a local brewery worth visiting and having a meal at the pub. I always gab a few of the wet hopped beers as a comparison to mine as the hops are sourced not far from where we are.  Damn tasty but boozy.

 

Hey Maurice, I have been there, not for a while but it is a great place & I love their Artwork on the cans. Pretty high ABV's !! 

Last time I was there the food was good.

Lovely Hazy IPA from Big Shed to start the long weekend.

Was at a wedding across the road from the hotel/brewery and was drinkinhg the pale ale. Great drop. Then progressed to the hotel and the old time set up (exposed sandstone, timber beams etc ) is awesome.

I see your juice train and raise it Great hop/fruitiness, slight shade of booze (not unexpected at 9%), but a great beer.

COCONSPIRITORS

The Matriach   NEW England IPA

Not overly sold on this one,  just something does not balance right for me

for a neipa it seems to be a bit watered down to meet the 6.5% they was after and to try and hide the alcahol in it

it certainly  gives a nice bittering taste which is hiding alot of the tropical notes and the stone fruit 

Loved the Aroma from this  and thought wow i hope the aroma is going to give that flavour

I certainly after a few more  mouth ful i ventually got the stone fruit to shine

however though it is drinkable and i would rate it a 6/10

Had 2 of these off tap yesterday at "Bogurks" in Edithvale (vic). New bar selling only Craft stuff, takeways and will be doing pizzas soon.

Great place, great blokes to chat to.

 

Back to the beer...

Holy Sheet! What a beer. (didnt get any photos)

But super sour, tart, and wouldnt even know it was 9%. Perfect beer for the sour lovers!

Well not really sure what to make of sour beers

tried a 3 rivers acid sour beer  this afternoon

it certainly does  what it says,  not sure i am a huge fan as this was my first real try of a sour beer

it kind of reminds me of a brut wine to be honest  from  cask wine mother had siting in the fridge from the early 80's


there is very little head or retention as i like a bit of lacing down the side


i think icy cold these beers will work great in Summer

but didnt do alot for me

I like a Whisky Sour but not a fan of extra sour beers.

Orange Imperial Sour - does what it says on the tin. 7% sour, dry, fizzy, orange.

YUMMY!!!

You have to have an acquired taste as a beer drinker to like sours. I certainly don't it reminds me of vinegar. That's just me. Each to their own.

I agree, beer should be malty, hoppy, bitter but not sour but as you say everyone to their own.

i wasnt totally against it  to be honest it wasnt distasteful or anything

to be truthful it was not my 1st sour beer but just cant rember when my 1st one was..

i want to try more , i have a raspberry sour in fridge to try  soi might shove it in main fridge at the back just to chill it a bit more 
and see how it goes

i wouldnt crave the beer again   

i think sour beer does has it place, i dont think  i would be wanting to brew a sour beer in my brewery
but time will tell

Local NEIPA, should have checked the date. Not as fresh as it should be.

I have seen that at the Highway ( Thirsty Camel Bottle shop ) as they quite often have Craft Beer Specials but never tried it, as you say that is probably the reason to clear old stock.

In fact I didn't know there was a Brewery at Happy Valley.

I've tried it previously and it was a great NEIPA. So many little craft breweries around now.

Lovely Yorke Peninsula Red Ale, suitable beer for this cooler Adelaide weather.

OK I am the same.

[Shamus O'Sean]

Colonial Brewing Co - South West Sour

Fruity/Piney aroma

Sour flavour that grows.  Bitterness masked by sourness.

Nice example of a basic sour.

[Hairy]

I’m currently in Dubbo and sampled some local beers. This was a really great pale ale. Pleasantly surprised.

I drove past the brewery on the way in and it looked pretty cool.
