2nd and maybe the final beer at hopheads yarraville 

 

Hawkers 

Final boss

Triple west coast ipa

10.5%

 

Wow sensational beer brought  out for ipa day on Thursday such a ripper 🍺 

The orange flavour aromas was nice and strong and the piney residual mouth feel just worked a treat.

If your got to pay $10 a beer these days it make perfect sense to have a beer that's 10% alcohol.

(Although I suspect it's probably dearer than that).

Was there about! Went to my local after work today and Pale is up to $8.80 a SA pint. The taxes are killing the small brewers and pubs are only living off the pokies.

Yeah, you expect to pay  a premium even at around 5%, but it you can get 10% for ,$10 you have done well.

The cheapest Pint at Big Shed is $10 & at Glenelg the newly renovated Colly Hotel (formerly Jetty Hotel) is more, some are getting up to $15.00.

while at hopheads last night  

Brewery = Goodlands  and Stewart Brewing collabaration
beer Name = 120 Shillings
beer Style = Scotch Ale
Beer ABV = 12.3%

this was a great beer  aged in Starward Distillary whisky barrels  giving a nice ruby colour with a great malt taste  with aroma's of Toffee ,Scotch whisky and baked Spices   and when you allowed the beer to warm  it gave  a great warm finish and perfect for  good cold night.

however this was not  cheap  beer   as the price for this at hopheads 

150ml tasting glass  = $11.50
pot  = $18.00
Schooner = $27.00
Pint = Not allowed  due to high ABV  content 

i rerally loved this beer   its really good if you can get a can of it120shillings.thumb.jpg.dbb5c959468f7baf5c62dbc5664cbbc8.jpg

This was a Japanese Black Lager from Heads of Noise. Wow, I really love that beer. The lightness and drinkability of a Japanese lager with a dark, malty backbone. Very tasty indeed. Something like this needs to make itself onto my brew schedule 😀

this one came in a stylish plastic cup to round up the experience 😂

What a day, not only is @ozdevil & his wife in town, a quiet drink at Phil's Bar & Grill turned into a party.

Some of my neighbours came over & then I enjoyed  some of the high octane beers he so generously shared with me, wow, so good & strong, check out the ABV.

A good night with good people,  thank you so much mate.
