I've got mine.

Cue the Crocodile Dundee script:

Yes, they are nice, I have had them before, I don't officially collect cans but there are a few on display, or is it clutter? 😀

To be honest, I'm not that enamoured with the beer itself. I bought them by mistake, confusing them with Heineken, which I'd had before and enjoyed. It wasn't until I started drinking them I realised my error.

Yes, I would rather have the Heineken.

Last one. Have thoroughly enjoyed these.

Coming back from Bali we had a long stopover in Adelaide, went to the Central Markets and to the  “Earl of Aberdeen”, the Coopers Ale House (sorry, no photos). Got a Sparkling Ale from the tap, which was very nice and refreshing. Followed by a ‘23 Vintage Ale and to top it all of a 2020 Vintage Ale. (All from the tap). Oh my god it was so good. Aromas of plum and port and it was soooo smooth.

Nice! I'd like to try that. I've only ever had the green from tap.

 

Looks like you had a nice time @Brauhaus Fritz. Thanks for the updates and photos. I've enjoyed your travel photos and stories over the last year or so immensely 👍🏽

That is one of my favourite pubs in the city. Every Coopers beer on tap.

oh yes, we had two tasting paddles and another two middies. Would have liked to try some more, but the Vintage Ales did it to me, 🤣.Luckily I had two Sparkling Ales. In Sydney I only find Pale Ale on tap.

A few recent IPAs

New Dawn, a low carb that slipped through undetected.

The hops almost, but not quite, saved it.

Zytho Brewing

Dan's shelves are packed with these. I'm not sure why.

Golden Path Hazy

Better.

Best of this lot.

They are a lot of them are made exclusively for Woolworths & Coles - The Endeavour Group & Pinnacle Drinks are largely responsible; I usually find about one in ten makes it for me.

I'm not keen on the artwork on most of these cans. The Golden Path looks like Passiona; the Zytho and New Dawn look too plain and unfinished. The Bent Spoke can looks good.

A box of the good stuff, 👍 BBQ tommorow so my beer fridge needed a backup. 

This has always been one of my favourite beers.20240125_135438.thumb.jpg.4d03a0650025a5af1a80abafa2492cea.jpg20240125_135746.thumb.jpg.607bcd7c869074e70ebf5a6cabf38bea.jpg

You beauty, Paley, just remember they are 5.8% ABV, which is a good thing.

It doesn't matter anyway, if the beer doesn't do it the red wine with the food will, have a good day mate. 🇦🇺🍺

I might stay away from the Red Grape stuff. Ive been known to have spent a few nights in the lock up after drinking that in my younger days. Ive seen my share of the inside of a Paddy Wagon 🤣

I agree but if only they'd put as much effort into the beer as the artwork.

Saw this at the bottleo today, a bit strong for me!

A mate of mine used to work at the Hope brewery/winery and brought a mixed case of several different options of those super strong varieties that were gonna get chucked because the cans were dented or labels damaged etc (and couldn’t sell) to my bucks event before I got married. That was a good weekend 😂 they are punchy as HECK!

Yeah, I know the drill, I could tell some stories about the times spent in an overnight cell in some of my escapades in the early days, I smacked an off duty copper once in Longreach over a dart game.

It ended up with me being  escorted out of town by the local constabulary, I look back on it now & just laugh.

I drink now for enjoyment. 🤣

Technically not 2024 tastings so please forgive me.  

Just a short time ago I was in @Triple B Brewing's front yard and sampled some beers and tucker at Shelter Brewing.  I was the designated driver (out of the two of us 😂) so I had to be careful with my tastings volume.  Salt and Pepper Chilli Squid was good as was the Prawn, Garlic and Chilli pizza washed down with a couple of Pale Ales.  HSSH had a Rosé or three and she also loved the place.

Was a perfect summers day and we walked the length of the very long pier both out to the very end and back so were in need of some refreshments once back on the shore.

Now down at Margaret River Brewing, where else but .......

I drank many pints of their Kolsch and thought at the time I should brew one these style beers.

Almost forgot. Cevantes WA and the lobster shack.

Loster meals were very, very small-ish and way overpriced.  Their lobster lager was to me, a bit of an amateur beer and very plain, don't know where they get it from, but they need to re-think supplier or get a new brewer (just my opinion).  Would have killed for a couple of glasses of my home brewed lager.  Glad I was driving further south as the beers did nothing for me so drank very little.  I think people who dine, and drink here do it "just" for the experience and coastal atmosphere, and of course to say they have been here, me included.
