Ah! forgot about the thickness of the glass on those things. Love some of those Dainton beers - the green ones and the orange ones especially...

Trying a couple of kiwi lagers while in nz

Cracker. Get it if you can. 

G'day @The Fez

I like the taste of Coopers XPA. I have gone through a few boxes...

But; the look of it in the glass does my head in.

there's a pilsner, a pale ale and a hazy IPA available at Dan Murphy's, anyone tried them!

 

https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_ER_2000004940_003/barahsinghe-hazy-ipa-330ml

< Barahsinghe Hazy IPA is crafted with maris otter malt, malted wheat, oats and natural spring water for a hazy apperance and creamy soft mouthfeel.Remarkably fruit forward and juicy, the addition of nine hope varieties impart flavours and aromas of berries, tropical and citrus fruits.
The dry-hopping technique, late addition of hops during the brewing process, further enhances the fruit-forward hops flavours and aromas, and also contributes to haze formation.The use of natural spring water that has higher mineral content highlights the malts and hops character, while contributing to the full flavour of the beer. >

First beer from this newish brewery and it’s very solid.

And if you know your local Aldi people, it can often be available before then!

Always reliable.

 

 

Kaiju’s 10th birthday this weekend. Happy to knock off a pint or three of Metamorphosis at the Lincoln to celebrate. . 

‘Tis the Season. 🎅🏻

My favourite Melbourne bar The Catfish turned 10 yesterday. I managed to down a

few beers and a Sparrows Cheesesteak before family duties intervened.

More of an American Pale Ale than an India Pale Ale, but they do make an IPA too..

I've tried the Addis Pale Ale, but not the Posso's IPA. Wasn't fussed on the Addis though, I much prefer 4 Pines Pale Ale, or Sierra Nevada American Pale Ale, as a summer drink. I keep the IPAs for cooler weather.
