iBooz2 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I am not sure if this / these are suitable for a new 2024 thread as it was back in late 2023 when I tried these beers at their brewery in Broome. First up is Matso's Brewery in Broome WA. Drink on the left is their Mango beer and the one on the right is one of their lagers, cannot remember its name and their web site is crappy so cannot remind myself. Yes I had a Mango too and it did not impress me. The beer on the right (I think) this was actually a Kimberly something. I normally take a pic of the drinks menu so I can recall what I tried at a much later date. Edited January 2 by iBooz2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Whalebone Brewery in Exmouth WA. Gee what a breath of fresh air and atmosphere this place was. Pizza's we had were great too. Don't get fooled by the pics, we got there super early and by the time it came to eat the place was absolutely packed out. Glad we ordered our food when we did. Superb atmosphere, people, beers and food. Loved this place and wished we had found it earlier as two evenings spent here still not enough. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 (edited) Notice the different bar tap handles, Driftwood, Whale bones, Dog spike, old bolts, Dildo, hammer handle, axe head. One had a small spade. Sorry did not take a pick of them all. Edited January 2 by iBooz2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 As an aside. The size of the termite mounds near Exmouth WA. My TAJ is just over 3 metres high and most of the big mounds were taller. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Here we go again, ha ha. Kind of missed the New Year, bit of a blur. Great Weizen. Especially if you know where it’s being made. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brauhaus Fritz Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) People say Bintang is Bali’s most popular beer. I tried one and never will put it into my body again, horrible p..s. Now these two I would have any day. Nice straight forward classic Lager and Pilsner. Edited January 3 by Brauhaus Fritz 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I went to the Brew Factory (yes, I cheated) to get a keg filled as mine got a right belting over xmas/new year, but at least I have a nice Session Ale 4.8% to see me through until I can get a couple of AG brews going. I had a couple there while I waited, this is a nice IPA with Amarillo & Cascade. Cheers 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 First time have tried this one and it's not bad. Small dry finish along with fruity hops. Little under done but would not say terrible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Although it has its place, I am a bit worried about what might be in their beers based on the number and contents of the sacks behind the bar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they brew many types of beer, some of them don't appeal to me but there are a few good ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 (edited) At the Monkey Bar in (of course) Monkey Mia WA where I had several beers but this one got my attention. It is a Little Creatures Elsie (on tap) and of course I just had to have several to be sure that I liked it. Great beer to drink on a very hot 40 C day near shark bay. Uses a hop I have never heard of before called Crystal. Its a steam beer style ale and I quite like it so someday soon will to have a crack at a clone. The mesh netting in front of the eating area / outside bar is to stop the pesky sea gulls and WA ravens from stealing your food. Seagulls will just take a little bit but the big black ravens will try to take the whole bloody plate. Edited January 4 by iBooz2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Haymaker Pale Ale, well it’s definitely a Pale for sure, says it’s smells of apples but smells more like plum to me Not a real fruity taste to it but ok nonetheless, give it a 7/10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
