Look awesome. Duvel is my favourite, Chimay Blue is up there too. Hope your Duvel works out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Another of the same backdrop - Sicilian non-filtered Ichnusa. Not bad. If I’d not come here by plane I’d have taken a cuppla slabs home for the bottles as they are 500ml. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In high summer it must be busier though. We often take a holiday when it’s the kids’ holiday in October, have a last go for the sun. This year the holiday is in the second half of the month( normally a week earlier) and the season’s over here in the south of Italy . In fact it almost looks like the place was abandoned in a hurry, Zombie Apocalypse or what! Good job we got a place with cooking facilities, a lot of the restaurants are closed, and what there is offers a limited menu. So cooking duties for me in the evening, but I’m ok with that To be honest I’m happy to have lunch out but am quite happy to eat in at night, especially when you have a place like this. The sea’s a bit chilly (19.4, I brought my inkbird thermometer with me) but deffo worth a morning swim to blow away the grappa fumes from the night before 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been sitting in the fridge waiting for a special reason to open it. I figure the birth of my son the other day is a pretty good reason. Cheers!

Aussiekraut Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Got one of these at Uncle Dan’s. It surely is a beast at 10rpm. Rather brunette for a blonde but who am I to judge Nice beer but way too high ABV for my liking. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am into Duvel at 8.5 and their triple hop at 9.5 for some reason some Trappist style ones are a bit too OTT, can be sickly. As they say about brunettes and blondes, wouldn’t chuck either out of bed. I mean fridge. Whatever… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdevil Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Todays TastingBrewery = Blackmans Brewery, VictoriaName of beer = Mr West Coast Style = COLDER IPA ABV = 6.5% This sensational beer is collaboration brew with the Team at MR West (bar and Bottleshop) in Footscray Victoria This beer is sensational using centennial Simcoe and citra hops brewed in a larger ops lager yeast. Blackmans never fail to surprise me with there beers and this beer is no exception and quietly the ABV creeps up on you at 6.5% The hops are no better as they really a punchy hop flavour and really well balanced and the yeast even though it’s a lager yeast they brewed this one at a warmer temp. I love the dry finish this one gives and is rather clean. I am nearly tempted on Saturday to head to Torquay or Geelong to see how this beer rock and rolls on tap which I think will even be better. If you can find this in your bottleshop or simply get on blackmans brewery website and buy a 4 pack you wont be disappointed Edited October 27, 2021 by ozdevil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Ok, sticking with the Belgians. Another one I picked up yesterday. I like Le Chouffe, despite the price tag. The ABV of this one is a little more manageable at 8%. And this Blonde is actually more blonde than the Quadruple I had yesterday. Distinctly wheat, which makes me happy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda strange because I find Duvel, La Chouffe, Karmeliter and Chimey blue fine but some of the other ones a bit much. Although I like Westmalle dubble (7°) a lot, the triple at 10° is a bit much and it conks me out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 First tasting of Brew A. It was bottled on 12th September. Nicely carbonated already (didn’t over do the secondary carbonation sugar because I want to age it a bit). Got great potential but would use a bit of bottle conditioning. Looking forward to it around Christmas 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malter White Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Currently on a sightseeing trip of Tasmania and I stumbled across this craft brewery along the wharfs in Hobart. They had a large range of beers but the first one I tried was so good I stuck with it and didn't try any others. I think it was called Iron Pot Rye Porter and 4.8%, nitrogen carbonated. Smooth as silk. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't actively sought out the breweries because there's a lot to see here but had a couple of quiet ones at the pictured HBC and also had an excellent meal and pale ale at a brew pub on Salamanca Parade called The Whaler's Return. Dining quality here is as good as Adelaide, if not better. Even a pub meal I had last night (Doctor Syntax Hotel) was the freshest squid I've ever eaten from a restaurant or pub anywhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a pub meal I had last night (Doctor Syntax Hotel) was the freshest squid I've ever eaten from a restaurant or pub anywhere. is a very old pub that was named by Reverend Robert Knopwood and was given whalers Returned As Salamance was where the whalers would come in and dock and would head to for a Beer or or 2 after catching whales. Then the Whalers returned had a name change by the former owner (she ran a great pub for alot of years that attracted all kinds of life as it was an easy place to meet for people in Hobart wanting to head out for a bit of nightlife wether that was clubbing in the city or heading to few night clubs down Sandy Bay and Battery point (formerly St IVes) and to the Casino) To most of our Generations until recent owner took over it was either Known as Knoppies Retreat or just Knoppies. The Lady i cant think what her name was now but she battling and couldnt keep the doors open and was looking like a great pub was going to shut the doors until the current owner Ben Hickey took over and changed the Name Back to Whalers Return Now Dr Syntax Hotel on Sandy Bay Road back in its time this place had a bad reputation as it was mainly a nightlife pub and attracted the sort of people that liked a bit of Biffo... However though in more recent times new owners new chefs etc This place picked up and has attracted the right clientle and is great little pub now with great food.. There is a pub basicly on the corner of Elizebeth street mall and Collins street it was called back when i lived there the Ship hotel (now the central hotel). After Work i would occasionly pop in here for a couple of ales or 2 while waiting for a bus home. You could sit at the open windows and have a beer... what i would do is glue a few 50 cent pieces to the footpath and would have a wallet sitting in the gutter with a bit of cat gut.. it was heaps funny watching the passers by fall for this trick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
