The Captain!! Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Kinda like Best Australian songs, by Crowded House and that new Australian singer, Lorde. Why do we always try to claim the good stuff. By the @BlackSands, you can keep Russel Crowe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And North of Nowhere Pale Ale is awful. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, plenty of Aussie beers won in other categories! Quote steinlager is awful too. Technically, it was Steinlager Pure that won this award, though you're probably right regardless. However, in Steinlager's defence, though I don't drink it myself, it did in fact win the Les Amis du Vin Award (Washington DC) 4 years running 1977 - 80 at which point they were asked (politely) not to reenter! It won the ‘Best Beer in the World’ title in the United States - also in 1980. Later, in 1988 it was judged the best from a line-up of 32 international brews in a competition in Melbourne. Just sayin' Edited May 24, 2019 by BlackSands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. you really need to start looking past what is "traditional" for a lager, & perhaps look at what you can DO with a lager yeast with an expanded mindset. The lager strains have some wonderful malt friendly/head related/consistency of bead & length of carbonation qualities that differ from ale strains for the most part from my limited experimentation with a handful of them against ale strains used on similar grists. They're not particularly kind to hops vs ale strains so some adjustments need to be made above traditional ale yeast hopping practices to achieve similar hop influenced outcomes if wishing to use a lager strain. I'm currently working through this process. I'm becoming more & more convinced through experimentation that my "grail" beer will most likely be a lager yeast strain fermented beer. Just my 2 cents, Lusty. Edited May 28, 2019 by Beerlust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
