The Friday Night 6 Pack Session

Recommended Posts

I am having/had a Kaiju Krush and Balter XPA. Love the hops coming from the Krush so far, but I have made comparable, in my not so humble opinion. Always like the XPA and will top it off with the Munich lme ale I have.  In between a chorizo and pepperoni pizza. I think it belongs to my wife but I am eating it. It could be the calm before the storm, fellas. 2 pieces left 😎.

Cheers

P.S I did use a glass, I didn't just chug it from the can...Or did I?

As a guy directly involved in the industry, I just don't get the whole appeal of Great Northern & Iron Jack. It is purely marketing because the beers themselves are still crap.

The two big boy breweries that produce these beers really need to have a good hard look at themselves & what they are about. These two beers just replace the same crap at the same level as their predecessors with just minute alterations in the bottle, colour, taste & sales pitch.

One thing I would like to know is when did QLD orientated beer become the fit model for the whole of Australian mass produced beer? 🤔

Cheers,

Lusty.

Arc valley lager for me, don't feel like spending a crap load on beer this week and at $33 a carton it's not too bad for its price, better than local megaswill. Right up @The Captain!!'s alley I reckon. 🤣

You’re disgusting ha ha ha

It has a 4.2 star rating out of five. Who the bloody hell rates these beers.......... clearly people who are dyslexic

Grabbed a mixed 6 pack from Dan’s on the way home last night. Only ended up having a couple.

 One was the Red Trolley Ale for Karl Strauss. Fantastic beer. Malty but not sweet.

The other was Old Peculier which I really enjoyed as well. Nice dark malt with a good measurement of bitterness. The roasted malt is there but in nowhere near the volumes of a porter and very in the style of an English brown, in my opinion anyway. Another enjoyable beer.

Thursday night was a good one too after work. Went for a few and tried the new limited release IIPA from Balter Brewing. An exceptional beer and not at all what I expected. Good bitterness but really well balanced in a big beer. I kind of expected it to be over the top bitter but was really surprised that it didn’t taste it. If all IPAs were like that I’d definitely drink more of them.

So now on the lookout for a partial mash recipe for the Red Trolley, so if you have one...
