$58 at Dan Murphys. Scotch does not continue to age once its in the bottle so it is not a 22 yr old now, unfortunately for you

 

[RookiePick]

It's worth drinking but I don't reckon it's worth $58.

These growler refills, do you need the correct brand of growler to refill it? And is there anywhere in perth that do the eaglebay brewery refills?

Most places just want a clear bottle that can be sealed with a flip top or screw cap. I've got a few different types and don't have any problems.

Do you mean you want more Eagle Bay beer or want an Eagle Bay growler refilled? If it's just the latter it can be used anywhere.

Only Feral brewpub insist on filling their own brand and nothing else. Some shops fill off the taps, others using a pegas system. The pegas is still flexible to most common growler types but I'm unsure if it fills the stainless ones.

That's a bit w@nky.

What i meant was if you need a branded growler I'd need to find a place with eagle bay beer. But as you said they mostly dont care if the growler matches the beer so it doesnt matter.

I’ll have it

Yeah I’m disappoint to hear that. I was such a Feral fanboy previously

Yeah me too, big time. Used to love going there when they first opened up - this was well before the variety of beers available in Perth was as vast as now. Bit sad that they decided to sell, but if I was in their shoes I'd probably do the same.

Their vessels are cheap. I didnt need another vessel but grabbed one anyway so I could buy Biggie Juice. Feral produce enough quirky beers not available elsewhere that its worth it for me.

Just seems a bit unreasonable.

* man Biggie Juice is fantastic. Only tried it from the bottle a few months back but it didn't disappoint.

Once upon a time international beer shop would only do their own, but not sure whether that's still the case. Haven't picked up a growler from there for years.

Yeah they did back in west Leedy.

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

IBS is going to be under new ownership soon, expecting a solid improvement with new investment.

Feral Da Vinci Pig red ale. Boy oh boy wowee one of the best beers I’ve had in a long time.

Not sure if it’s available outside of Melbourne because it was a one off Good Beer Week beer but if you can get hold of it definitely try it

 

[Suma Magic]

Recently brewed the red ale at Billabong. Absolutely delicious.

Good to see the boys up and brewing again after the fire.

Didn’t realise this was a Royston collab as well. Such a great pub - was there last night for dinner.
