This is open to anyone to join in..... Head to duncans and buy a few 'different' beers...
Few months ago I went to Duncans and saw that they have bout 100 different beers.. so thought I'd buy a few, as I cant drink VB, Carlton, or Melbourne anymore.
The bloke recommended to me Ottinger - and its NICE! 8 bottle tops out of 10
I took that slab to Knockwood - it was cheap as VB, but unlike VB it was drinkable, AND in 500ml cans!
(http://www.oettinger-xinkai.com/products/Qing%20shuangxing.jpg)
Tonight while there, I thought I'd buy a few more and try them... 1 per night.
(http://www.gupatrol.com/myswag/bottles.jpg)
Tonight's example that I'm tasting is OLD FART BEER - in a 500ml bottle.
(http://www.worldofbeers.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/600x600/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/o/l/oldfart_8.jpg)
It's a very smooth beer, 5% from the UK. Now its probably meant to be drunk warm being from the UK, but mine is cold.
Its very smooth, very clean and refreshing... Sorta pilsener style.
On the Bird scale I'd give it a 7 tops out of 10

Has anyone tried Banana Bread beer (serious, they had slabs of it there)? or Chocolate Beer?
They have some strange Shit at Duncans..
-
Personally I usually can't drink beer unless it's ICE cold and 40 degrees outside....
But there is a micro brewery here in Wodonga, I went on a group tour there and tried a few different brews.
One in particular was awesome. No idea what it was though. ;D
But definitely worth a visit next time you are up this way.

My current favourite is Becks in cans for travelling $56 from Dan's or the 330 ml bottles for $40. Make sure that they are imported not the made in Australia versions

Bird,
Give the Banana Bread beer a go icy cold. It smells like banana lollies. I can drink about 2 of them before moving on to something else as they are a bit sweet for me after that. They are great on a hot day. The chocolate beer is awesome for cool night fire side sipping as well.
Tony

Good thread bird.
Noel, Big head is also good, from the same brewery.

i'm with you, evo. not normally a beer drinker at all. prefer bundy red.
but 'barecove radler' was one beer that i found more enjoyable when cold on a hot day.
anyone got any other suggestions for beers like this one? would be happy to add my findings to this experiment... :)
-
I was put on to Ottinger a few years ago by a bloke who only drunk VB, until he got onto that. Wasn't all that fussed on it. I still drank it though.
Local grog shop had a deal going, spend over $30 and get a six pack of whatever it was on the counter for cheap. So I did. NEVER again. Hammer and Tongs it was called. Absolute utter garbage. You need a real strong stomach to swallow that crap. Beer doesn't live long in my fridge, but that crap did.
A mouthful of toothpaste before you take a swig of that crap is about the only way to kill the taste of it.
Shane.

Gotta agree with you they are both great beers.
VB is usually my poison but over summer I'm known to slam a few Corona's down. Toohey's extra dry is a good drop or Go the Platinum but they get to your head quickly, I like em >:D
8/10 caps

This is my current selection. My preference lately is pale ales. I like all the James Squires beers. Will probably tend towards the pilsners over summer, or the Asian beers, Tiger, Chang and the like
The pepper jack on the right is a mix of beer and Barossa Valley Shiraz. Bought 6. WOW beer and wine together, why hasn't this been done before!! One taste and you know why. Gets "1 cap" which will probably stay on that bottle.
When you try your beers pour them in a glass to get the full benefit.
I love to try small breweries
Nillumbik Cellars in Diamond Creek has a very good selection.
Next time you go to Knockwood if you come in from the top, Mansfield IGA have Mansfield breweries pale ale which is nice. A stop at Jamieson Brewery would be worth a stop.
-
I usually reserve a couple of Fat Yaks for Fat Yak Friday but lashed out last night for the young fellas birthday
-
When I was younger I had a house which had a bar downstairs and on all the walls it had a shelf about 30cms down from the ceiling on all walls. Basically the right size to put stubbies on. So myself and my best mate decided to fill this shelf with different type of stubbies.
After about 3 years we filled that shelf with 250 different stubbies and we also rated each beer with a rating between 1 to 5. On the final count I think 10% of those beers were fantastic and would definitely drink again, 40% were okay but wouldn’t buy a carton of the stuff and 50% were sh*t.
Mind you this was over 20 years ago and the number of boutique beers have increased dramatically.

Just a few breweries to cross off the list
http://www.beerandbrewer.com.au/Brewery (http://www.beerandbrewer.com.au/Brewery)
I can thinks of a few that on there as well.
I subscribe to the magazine as I used to make home brew. More a brewing industry magazine but a 3 year subscription for about $80 gets a voucher for free slab or two
-
Oettinger to the Germans is like Fosters Lager to Australians.
-
Since I have been down in Tassie on HolidaysI have been trying
the different types of Boags and Cascade that you cant get on the
mainland.The cascade Blonde,Pale Ale and Draught taste really
clean and crisp.Moo Beer was good too.
Cheers :cheers:
-
My favourite beer of all time was Boags St George but I don't think they make it anymore as I haven't seen it in the bottleos for years.
At the moment the one beer I find hard to avoid is Miller with lime. Brilliant super chilled on a hot day.
2 beers that have surprised me in recent times. XXXX Summer. Had to buy it ones as it was all that was available and we both enjoyed it. The other is VB. Not the VB of old but the new (old) recipe. I could never drink it as it always left a metallic taste in my mouth, but since they went back to the original recipe, its improved dramatically.
Another one worth a try if you can find it is Mornington Pale Ale. Very different taste and quite refreshing. I call it a good table beer as it seems to compliment food flavours rather than compete with them.
For a light beer I like Boags Premium light, Hahn Light and Fosters Light Ice.

I support this - Go BECKS!!
Being German I might be biased, though... >:D

prior to buying grog I check the attached as around Shepparton there would be around 15-20 bottle shops

I missed that last night
Interesting not being a big beer drinker but I only just noticed how few beers come in cans these days
That was another winner for Ottinger + 500ml cans = less trips to the fridge. :)
-

I'll second that, this is a great drop.

Not to mention it has a pearler of a name. "My Wife's Bitter" Even SWMBO had a giggle about it

drank that for a while, wasn't bad... but **** you put on the KG's with it..
Also don't mind this = but on tap

The James Squire one fifty lashes pale ale ain't a bad drop, drink it every now and then when it comes up on special, Oettinger or Becks I've been drinking for a while very easy to drink

I have been in to the Kosciuszko Pale Ale.
8/10. :cheers:
-
I have been doing this for a while, will grab a single bottle to try when I grab my weekly beer run, favourite would be lowenbrau but vest bottle goes to lucky beer with the swing top grolsch also interesting
-
This stuff is pretty hard to drink >:D super smooth, and at 9% alcohol it is actually good on a cold day :cheers: Pity about the price in Aus tho >:(

-
Gone with the VIKING from Iceland today - its a Pilsner 4.4 and a tiny 330ml bottle... Very cold compared to the last one.
Again tidy beer, doesn't leave that dead ass taste in your mouth that VB/Melb/Carlton/Peasant beer does. After you've drank it you don't know you have... good for having in the car at lunch at work :D
gets 8/10 would get more if they were in large cans...

I don't like drinking those standard CUB beers unless I really really have too eg: VB, Carlton Draught, Melbourne.
Back in 2009 we travelled to Port Douglas and while watching the footy at a pub one night I tried a beer called "Fat Yak" and I have never looked back.
My preferred beers in no particular order are Fat Yak, Little Creatures Pale Ale, Vale Pale Ale, James Squire 50 lashes, I really enjoy hoppy Pale Ales.
Recently James Squire started bottling "The Hop Thief," it has too be tasted to be believed. They had it on tap at James Squire Bounty in Tassie last year but when we were in The Kimberley they were selling it everywhere. Haven't been able to get it since I have been back.
I brew my own Fat Yak when I can and while it's not as good as the original it's better than VB.

Hop theif is a great beer, I have been swayed from my staple " Coopers Sparkling Ale" by hoppy pales and IPA's for the last year or so and Hop thief is one of the best Vale Ale IPA is another good brew..Michael

I used to have me one of them Irish fridges. Heated up with a light globe and a heating thermostat. Fantastic for making home brew of consistent quality. And you can do the secondary fermentation with another batch at the same time.
A local pub close to home on Commercial Road in Salisbury was the ducks guts for home brew kits. They had a German Lager kit with hops that was to die for.
Pity I don't drink anymore. :'(
Adelaide residents who like their beer might want to visit the Bombay Bicycle Club. The front bar has a beer club with a list of around 100 beers. My son is working his way through the list for the second time. He forgot where he was upto the first time and started again. ;D

Yep it's a nice drop but pretty sure it isn't actually brewed here! A story in the local rag said that while they're based in Melbourne, the family own a property around here but from what I can make out they've moved into larger premises but it's still not here...sort of misleading I reckon, but still a nice drop!

At one of the "Bitter and Twisted" beer festivals held in the old Maitland Gaol, they had a bacon flavoured beer. Seeing as it was fairly early in the day we thought yeah, perfect for brekky..

Bloody good drop
-
Minimum chips has a salty/sweaty taste which isn't quite right
Tried this on $16 for a six pack from liquor land (brewed for Coles judging by the label address)
Quite a nice drop 4.5% with a grain taste and went down real well in the heat at Shepparton. 7 bottle caps
-
Tonight's brew
The ORGINAL STOKE BOMBER
A kiwi Pale Ale...
Comes in at 5.5%!!! And they are almost long necks 660ml.
First sip was a strange taste, not bad not good, just different - maybe not what I expected.. then went and poured it into a glass and much betterer... 8)
http://www.stokebeer.co.nz/our-ranges/#rng-bomber (http://www.stokebeer.co.nz/our-ranges/#rng-bomber)
No dead hopps taste after drinking, very nice, this was oober chilled (Chulld for kiwis) and not a twist top.. I forgot bout bottles like that!
Worth trying, not a bad drop by any shot of the imagination.

G'Day All,
I'v read this topic with interest and find my self wondering......is it just me?......After years of really enjoying a cleansing ale or 2 or 12 just to wash the dust down i'v never had the desire to change my beer of choice being " Quote....XXXX Bitter Unquote"...The only time i change brands is when i can't buy XXXX i mean it's a personal thingy i know but ...i'm rarely tempted to try many others. I'v tried the international packs and found most were drinkable but always remained true to XXXX Bitter. I'v got mates that buy different beers all the time and i'v listened to one of them say Ewwwww.i didn't like that one which makes me think why spend money on beer you didn't enjoy !!!!!
Well thats my 2 bobs worth....My after work beer tomorrow will be XXXX Bitter
Cheers Tracker..... :cheers:

-
Youse blokes with your "ah I only ever drink ..........." Make me chuckle. I guess you always camp in the same place all the time too as it's better than anywhere else!
-
I like my outteys. 500ml cans are great because they take up the same room in the engel as a stubby but provide 50% more drinking.
Wheat beers are nice as well. Especially hoegaarten.

It's the digital generation Tracker and they're wired differently to us and previous generations mate as they have the concentration span of toddlers nowadays. Have you seen the milk cabinet or the bread shelves at the super lately? It's why they invented ADHD to describe the growing phenomenon.
Truth is if you lined all these beer labels up in a double blind test 99% of these so called afficionados couldn't tell an ale from a lager after the first cold schooner goes down if you've ever worked in a slops bar on a Saturday night. This sort of beer crapola used to be restricted to wine wankers although to be fair real wine tasters spit it out rather than get pissed and rabbit on about how only plebs drink XXXX , VB or Fosters. One thing you can rely on Tracker, if any of it was devoid of alchohol not a drop of it would pass their elite taste test :cheers:
-
Yep our right tracker, it is a personal thing, and for me, the only time I would buy xxxx is when there was absolutly no other beer available, anywhere, and the cat litter was bone dry.
But personal choice. :cheers: ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
To be fair, xxxx bitter is a decent beer

Hey Tracker this is what beer brand crapola is good for-

It's not a bad drop for a white wheat beer but you could not drink heaps of it without a brake to something else, imo.

I agree Crappsy, you could have a few but not to many.

Talking about " Old Mates " Harvey Wallbanger :cup: :cheers:
-
I joined a mates page on Facebook that he created a few years ago. He, his brother & their mates called it beer365 & the idea was to have a different beer every day for a year, take a photo of it poured into a glass beside the bottle, can or take so you could see what it was, then give it your description of taste & rating out of ten.
I only made it to day 68 as it was costing too much at the time.
When I started, I was a Hahn 3.5 drinker only & refused to drink anything with flavor. I gave terrible ratings between two & four out of ten for quite a lot of them... Most of these beers I now love after getting used to them. I love going to craft breweries & love the brew house in Brisbane, that'd be my favorite pub. We also loved the the craft pub in Lorne, just a shame we couldn't get a site in town for the night.
For me, my two favorites are 150 lashes & peroni nastro azzurro & my opinion of Hahn 3.5 is that it's poofters mouthwash...
Amazing how tastes can change if you work on them
-
Not sure if this one's been put up. I don't think I could bring myself to tasting this...

BEARD BEER
Awards: 2015 World Beer Championships, Gold
History:
Beard Beer is brewed with a yeast created from Brewmaster John Maier’s beard. No need to freak out, brewers have used wild yeasts in beer making for centuries.
John has had the same old growth beard since 1978 and for over 18,000 brews, so it is no great surprise that a natural yeast ideal for brewing was discovered in his beard.
What does Beard Beer taste like? Try it, we think you’ll be surprised....

When you try your beers pour them in a glass to get the full benefit.
Firm believer in this ;D :cheers:
And, if you can find it on tap, improves pretty much every can/stubby beer you'll ever try.

We all like Beer and popcorn................. separately
but there are some strange people in this world.
(http://www.sunkingbrewing.com/images/popcornpilsner.png)
Popcorn Pilsner puts a local spin on brewing tradition with the addition of Indiana-grown Riehle’s Select popcorn, popped by our friends at Just Pop In, to our German-Style pilsner recipe. The result is a crisp, balanced, and refreshing beer with a dry finish and just enough hop character to keep things interesting.
Popcorn Pilsner was the winner of the Silver Medal in the International-Style Pilsener Category at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival®.
