BohemianMohican Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 +1 for the Siera Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale . Strong flavour & alcohol content like Byron Bay's Rumweizen but from Chico California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I had one of those last weekend - really bloody nice! I had to go out and buy another one [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've had a few Sierra Nevada Stouts recently. This is a great beer. It is roasty and bitter but also very smooth which balances it out. When I drink them, I tend to drink Australian stouts with my favourites being Coopers Best Extra and Grand Ridge Hatlifter and I actually don't mind Sheaf stout. So apart from the Irish stouts I haven't tried many foreign ones but the Sierra Nevada Stout is terrific. [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hey Hairy. By chance have you tried Sierra Nevada's "Hoptimum"? 10.4%ABV 100 IBU Magnum, Simcoe, Citra & Chinook. A hophead's dream I would think? [tongue] P.S. Yob must of heard of this? Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilboBaggins Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I had a feeling that would be the case. [cool] Can you guys in the other states get the Vale Ale or Vale IPA from SA? Not international, I know, but the IPA is awesome. Nice heavy bottles to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yep. I had a couple of Vale Ales today on tap. I can also get them from my local bottle shops. But I prefer the Vale IPA [love] I have also just found Feral Hop Hog in my local 1st Choice bottlo [love] [love] [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think my beer tastes have changed since I started brewing. I am sitting back with a Sierra Nevada Torpedo IIPA and enjoying it. When I first tasted this a long time ago I found it way too full on for me. Now I find it quite pleasant and could easily polish off a few of them [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Now I find it quite pleasant and could easily polish off a few of them [love] I love it! And my VB loving Dad tried one and loved it [surprised I had a Tuatara Pilsner the other night at dinner and it was awesome, so I had to have another. Then I bought a 6er [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanM5 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey all. My first post on here so go easy haha !! I've tried and love beers from all over the world. Being originally from Scotland (moved to Perth WA a year ago), I was fortunate enough to have ready access to a load of european beers/lagers. I like Deuchars IPA, Beamish red (which I can't get any more :( ) and a load of other Ale types, Wells Banana Bread Beer is also nice for a bit of a change. I also enjoy Stella Artois, Chimay (especially red label), Becks, Corona, Singha (one of my faves) and a host of others. To be honest I am not really that fussy when it comes to beers, and have only ever tried a handful that I really don't like - Skull Splitter from Orkney being one of them, and Tenents Super and Carlsberg Special Brew being others - but they're not real beers anyway lol.

BlakeD Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Alexander Keiths IPA from Nova Scotia Canada Hey Blake, What do you think about the Keith's? It's great, my fave beer to drink in Canada. I just bought a 28 box in Toronto!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sierra Nevada "Ruthless Rye". This is a hell of a nice brew! Very spicey/citrusy with great colour and as usually for this brewery awesome head retention and fresh bold flavours. I also love the label. The madien in the picture reminds me of SWMBO[love] .

Hairy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I would love to give this a go but haven't seen it in any Australian shops. We get a lot more SN beer than we used to, including the Southern & Northern Hop Harvest beers so hopefully this one does make its way down here.

Canadian Eh!L Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hairy, I'm not suprised you haven't seen this one. It's a seasonal beer and my man at the local bottle shop is bringing some great craft beers as of late. Almost every week there is something new and interesting to try (mostly AIPA's).

Khellendros13 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I had a feeling that would be the case. [cool] Can you guys in the other states get the Vale Ale or Vale IPA from SA? Not international, I know, but the IPA is awesome. Nice heavy bottles to boot! Dan Murphey's in Vic sotcks them. Got half a carton left here at work (my homebrew is not keeping up). I actually prefer the Tower 10 IPA out of Vale IPA, SN Torpedo and Tower 10. Then again, I am a newbie when it comes to IPA and beers in general...

PhilboBaggins Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I actually prefer the Tower 10 IPA I've tried this since my above post, and would have to agree. The Ballast Point Big-Eye is also delish. [happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ1525228685 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've spruiked Theakstons Old Peculier here before, but I'll put it out there again. I really wish Australia had an interest in bitters and real ales. Guess we don't have the cellaring temperatures for it, though. I haven't tried the main varieties, but bought a 4pk (what is that all about!) of Vale Dry a while back. Just about poured it down the sink, sour lemony dreck. Hope it was a bad batch, can't imagine they could sell that stuff for money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ1525228685 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Spitfire Kentish Ale is another great drop, very easy to get through. But it's from a very reliable brewery, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love an ESB, but I don't like to drink them all year round. My latest Styrian ESB is a cracker, but it's a shame I had to store it in the garage. Has lost way too much character in such a short time due to the heat. [crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenA8 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I was in England recently for two months and tried so many exceptional ales it was inspiring. Eventually I developed a code. I hunted down any beer which either had an animal on the label or a part of the anatomy. Bulls Bollocks was a big have, as was Hobgoblin. Had some beautiful draft beer in Prague as well. And none of these beers had huge price tags, it was all very affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
