Tried Beer Farm's plum sour this afternoon after getting in a 2 hour fight with my car over whether or not I could rip the old alternator out and then kicked and screamed when I put a shiny new one in.

Very tasty sour, would get it again.

I rate these guys a lot. All their beers are so balanced which I respect. Always very well priced too. Never seen that one in cans so hopefully it's not far off

Really? It's the Asam Boi you can't get at most BWS's and Dan Murphy's.

Ohhhhhhhh yep yep. Probably the one beer from them I don't like

Went back to my bottleshop and grabbed a 4 pack of the lemon sherbet sour for safe keeping. Don't want to miss out on it if it sells out.

I saw cape cellars in busso has a heap of rock juice.. I gather the new batch is ready.

 

[MIKE85]

I heard the new batch wasn’t very good. Used a different hop or something?

Yeah they did something different and rebrewed it to the orig formula. Apparently if you bring in the reciept for the previous batch they'll replace it for free.
I like Rocky ridge so wouldn't do it anyways, the other batch was still good in my opinion.

Tried the new King Rampant sour by Blasta last night, really good. It's the second sour of theirs I've had and both have been delicious.

PL Acai and Passionfruit sour - went down an absolute treat after working on my car yesterday in the heat

No matter your opinions of certain breweries and their beverages, it's almost mind-blowing at times seeing the explosion of craft beer in WA. It wasn't that long ago that the choice of beer at your average pub was either Emu or Swan.

I'm guessing somewhere after the Cheeky ECIPA which is 7.5% I'll be well on my way!

An absolute gem, in fact most of the Cheeky range are great, quickly becoming one of my favourites.

I saw a post on their Facebook page dated 4 March saying V8.5 would be released in "6 weeks or so"...maybe you saw the V8?

I remember going to cheeky monkey when they first opened the doors and being really disappointed.. now they are killing it.

It's great to see the craft beer explosion. My neighbor is gobsmacked about the price I pay for some of the craft beers I drink but I keep reminding him he's drinking the equivalent of polony sangas.
*bthe big companies and suport all these local guys who had the balls to start brewing...

Been a fan of that for years. Pretty stoked for it to be back if I’m honest. Probably go well for the dogs game this week

Their sours are all ****ed up kinda good. Had four so far and each as mind blowing as the last. Lucky to call it my local essentially

 

[Godfather32]

Anyone been to Baileys in the swan valley yet?
I'm not sure if I was having a bad day but I went on Sunday and I've got to say it's some of the blandest beer I've ever tried

Their normal IPL is one of my favourite beers and I didn't know of this variant until today.

It's damn good, but reckon if I did the whole 4 pack in one sitting I'd be on my ear.

Yeah they're top shelf. The 2 that I've had I've found myself savouring every sip it's so good. They really know how to do their sours for sure.

Depending on your definition of ages, but 20 years ago definitely nowhere near the variety we have now.

Otherside has become one of my favourites, namely their experimental range. Not a single miss amongst them so far.
