Smashed Crabs Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Steel Cat XPA made for the crew. Brewed in Brisbane. 4.7 % - Can certainly taste the El Dorado hops. Not as hop forward as I thought it would be but still a nice drop. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltop hops Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 2 minutes ago, therealthing691 said: give me a run down Here’s a little bit of history of Big Shed Brewing, who we are and how we came to be. We began brewing in Jason’s shed in a rented property in the Barossa back in 2002. The shed was huge, a farmers shed with easily enough room for the brewing equipment, cars, the Scalextric track (yeah that’s right), hardware, tools, everything. It also had a mechanics pit which was perfect for keeping our brews at a constant fermenting temp. It was here we began our love affair with making beer. We loved the fact we could follow our curiosity, what happens when you added berries to your brew (good things actually), what does using a different yeast do to the flavours? We made some cracking beers that folks loved, we also made some abominations never to be seen again… That’s part of the journey and not something we would remove from our experience. It was while brewing that we would talk about making this a business. We got ourselves an ABN number and a business name, but it was a while before we did anything with it beyond getting a cheaper price on materials. We actually had three business names picked (the other two escape me) and BSBC won out as it was the only one cleared for business registration. We’d had it for a while and not really done anything other than dream. The trigger for action was when we got the renewal of the business name in the post. It was then we realised all the lost time talking and dreaming rather than doing. Sure in that time we’d made some good beers, had a great time doing it and sharing our wares, but we were no closer to our goal. It was put up or shut-up time! We rented a small warehouse in Royal Park, moved in and used our R and D setup to further design and refine our starting line-up. It has also been our business base and we have had many discussions with local brewing legend, Stephen Nelsen who helped with the design of our commercial setup. It all arrived and we put our first beer through the system in December 2013, FrankenBROWN. Since then we have added F-Yeah, Californicator and Kol Schisel to our core range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozdevil Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hey its been a while since i purchased a real beer Valhalla brewing Obsidian Black Ale 6.8% ABV IBU 65 Hops – Centennial, Tettnang, Mosaic what a little gem of an ipa very much bordering on the porter stout and was voted champion stout and porter for 2021 at the Australian international beer awards I really did enjoy this beer and would make a great winter Ipa as there is definately choclate and roated malts in this that is not overpowering however though i only had the 1 can of this and left me feeling 1 is enough and i dare say i would have struggled through a 2nd not becuase i didnt like or enjoy it , it just made me feel quite content in 1 and probably have it as a finishing drink of a winters evening i got a small hint of rasperberry not overly noticable but it was there. The creamy head from the 1st pour was brilliant and was alot tighter then what you see in the pic I had this at around 2 degrees but as it got warmer just from the hands around the glass and naturally warming up the beer even got better, i really do not think this beer has to be really enjoyed at low temps i would say 4-6 degrees would be perfect I wish i had another 1 of these as i only purchased the 1 can 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation old chap, no offence intended. Nice looking drink though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalDave Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 For those that don't know Mane Liquor in WA they sell over 1000 craft beers (apparently). Made my first long overdue visit there the other day as I had a delivery to do next door. Overwhelmed by all the colourful cans of craft beer - born again beer nut me thinks brewers should make it a bit more obvious what type of beer they're selling, because as 'clever' as some of the name are they give their brews - I have no idea what lies within the can. I did buy a few samples though, got a tasting too of something very nice, can't remember what it was though. Anyway currently imbibing Whitelakes Dark Lager, sorry drank it all before I remembered to take a photo - so here's a stolen pic - "Full malt dark beer that is both light and dry. White Lakes Dark is an excellent warmer with a complex eight-malt profile. A mahogany myriad of malt flavour, impressioned by chocolate and roasted coffee, spearmint and citrus." The first sentence is certainly correct - a full flavoured malt experience that is otherwise light and with a dry finish. The chocolate and coffee impressions don't really hit until the end of the can - but it has to be said there is a pleasing malt taste throughout with just a a touch of roastiness as one might expect from a schwarzbier. The spearmint is definitely there on the first few sips, but thankfully disappears the more you dive in - it reminded me of drinking beer just after brushing my teeth - thought this was not going to end well but it did - actually the whole beer gets more enjoyable the more you go. Don't get the citrus though - probably a good thing. I think I do like it overall, if I was at the pub right now would probably get another pint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
