peekaboo_jones Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hello Gang, The Great Australasian Beer specTapular is fast approaching again this year! May 20-22 Melbourne then following weeks in Sydney and Auckland. I'm sure some of you will be aware of this and may have already attended in previous years but for those that don't know about it basically it is a beer festival put together by a couple of craft pub owners in Melbourne to invite and showcase any craft beer in Australia and NZ. And it's bloody awesome. One thing I did hear on the grapevine is that Coopers may/may not have produced a limited run beer that will be showcased on tap at the festival. Only. Brew 'A' IPA 6% 60 IBU Hops apparently are Enigma and Cascade (Ellerslie hops Australia) If you can get along do so! I'll be going and will report back with tasting notes and photo's of the special brew. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I will be attending the Sydney event (Saturday afternoon session - 28 May). I'm happy to catch up with anyone that wants to meet. The GABS guide book has been released and there are 120 festival beers to try. I might get some tasting paddles and not go as hard this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a limited release of 1,500 kegs and to be on tap only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yep... http://www.brewsnews.com.au/2016/05/coopers-releasing-india-pale-ale/ From what I understand a roster of tap only beers are coming. As is a Coopers malthouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Did anyone on here go to GABS in Melbourne? I would be interested to hear the recommendation of beers to try or avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
