Being new to this forum and most of what is talked about here this is a topic I can comment on with ease.

Most of the beer I drink is my own but I regularly enjoy everything which is on offer here at our local at the Wig n Pen.  Unfortunately it's not in bottles but when any of you visit by Canberra name sure you visit - then message me and stop by my bar...

Back to nice craft beers and I'm really enjoying Coopers,  Thomas Coopers Selection Celebration Ale.

Another nice drop is Young's Double Chocolate Stout,  very nice.

Perhaps I should have worded that better.  My own home bar. :)

Five kegs on tap and always ready to share, if this past time is anything like my others then I'm always willing to meet others and have them share my beers over a chat!

Take a cruise in Belle up to Holgates brewery in Woodend @ Keatings hotel, try a few samplers and take a six pack home, don't mind a pale ale or pilsner. If you need someone to support you in the process of trying them out, pick me up on the way through :)

A hint I picked up tonight to chill down warm beer or wine bottles quickly was to wrap them in a wet towel or dish cloth and then put them in the freezer, worked fine for me.

The local had Sail and Anchor Dry Dock at $39 a carton so I grabbed one this arvo, not a bad drop.

I remember going to the sail and anchor pub/micro brewery in Freemantle many years ago and trying a few (a lot) of their brews, the chilli beer pulled me up though!

Only just found this thread. I'm partial to british style amber ales and I really like Mountain Goat Hightail Ale.
But then, I'm partial to any beer that isn't "megaswill". I love Blue Sky Brewery's Pilsner for an esy session beer (and it's pretty cheap for a craftbeer), Signha with Asian, Youngs double choc stout, most of the Aussie up and coming draft brewers etc.

My brewing aim is to reproduce a reasonable Irish cream ale like Kilkenny.  Have got the taste right, still working on head and carbonation issues.
Mace, do you brew all grain or extract beers and do you bottle or keg?
For head, try adding up to 500g of wheat malt to an all grain grist or about 250g of wheat malt extract to a kit or extract beer.
For carbonation, with bottles you probably won't get quite as close to the real thing but you can "cheat" with a "pocket sparkler". A guy on aussiehomebrewer.com uses a 10mL syringe, sucks up some of the beer and shoots it back into the glass to make a big thick head.
With kegs, use a carbon dioxide and nitrogen blend and viola!

Cheers!
Jono.

There are some very nice beers coming out of the South Australian wine districts. Vale, Knappstein, Pepperjack are three I can recall.

Also had a drop at the Boags Brewery when in Tassie a few years ago called Wizard Smith. Incredible but have never been able to find it on the mainland.


Its good living 10mins away from Mclaren vale 8) Yes Vale ale is good, there is also http://swellbeer.com.au/ which ain't bad and are all 500ml bottles.

http://www.goodiesonbrewery.com.au/ I'm rather partial to their Pale ale, and they usually have a stall at the farmers market at Willunga on a saturday morning which is handy when grabbing your vegatables Hehe. :cheers:

Have heard these are good, haven't tried yet though. http://ekhidnawines.com.au/ekhidna-mclaren-vale-beer/

Yep this is my fallback for quick chilling if the co2 fire extinguisher isn't handy. Actually went camping with no ice but just big co2 extinguisher for beer, and just ate fresh fish and crabs

Was in Sydney for work the other week and found a pub which had free house beer before 7.  Ws quite nice beer as well

This morning I was in luck and was able to buy two cartons of Victoria Bitter beer cheap at the local supermarket.

I placed the boxes on the front seat and headed back home.  I stopped at a service station for fuel where a drop-dead gorgeous blonde in a short skirt was filling up her car at the next pump.

She glanced at the two boxes of ammo, bent over and leaned in my passenger window, and said in a sexy voice:

"I'm a big believer in barter, old fella. Would you be interested in trading sex for beer?"

 

I thought for a few seconds and asked:
"What kind of beer 'ya got?"

Not really boutique but Boags Classic Blonde. Just love it which can be a problem.
Castlemaine used to do a "Dry" years ago, but it had to be ice cold.

Is it 5 o'clock yet......close enough  :cheers:
