Just saw a post about recalling that Gweilo. Check that before you drink it! Not sure exactly what it’s about coz I’m too drunk to actually read it properly. On another note, picked up some mountain culture beers from mane before my weekend away. Been some truly sublime tasting ones so far. Best of the lot have been the milkshake IPA and status Quo

Drank it last night. Tasted great.

I just found the greatest non alcoholic beer on the planet and it just happens to have Petch on the label

Heard loads of good stuff about these guys - is it really that good?

It’s mind blowing. Never heard of them before today. Was at mane and they had 3 types. Bloke serving me told me that the pineapple one was average but this and the regular IPA are real good. Yet to try the regular but damn this is good

I went to an international beer festival a few years back. My goodness did that get very, very messy.

Same thing happened to me a few years back at Perth Craft Beerfest.

This time I’ve made a pact with myself that it will be more about tasting than getting absolutely plastered this time, but we will see how long that lasts!

Went to the one near Burswood late last year. Wasnt a massive selection but i sampled enough to be an extremely messy night and big hangover the next day.

I went to Froth Town in September last year (I think it used to be called the Perth Craft Beerfest).

A bit of fun and lots of new beers to try, but I'm not going again anytime soon. Lots of queues (beer/food/toilets) and none of it is cheap. I imagine it will only be busier this year. They seem to have more attactions this year, so that might be good.

I went for the Saturday night session and am probably too old for that these days; would probably hit up a day session if I went again.

Word of advice - if there are popoular brewers with beers you want to try then get there when it opens and have them first. They will run out.

I liked it, but it made me feel pretty seedy after 4. IMO those juicy beers aren't meant for big consumption, like 2-3 is the limit.

My Dan Murphy's in Cannington is overloaded. Too many people stocking up on Beam and goon that way.

 

[Chris_6678]

Haha yeah had a 4 pack on friday night when they came out. Hungover as *.

Imperial Biggies are back in stores yesterday and today. Probably won’t last too long, sold out pretty quickly last time around

Jut stumbled across a slab (24) of these at a vintage cellars in Melb CBD:

Deep Creek Misty Miyagi Hazy IPA

For whatever reason it was reduced to $60... and it is really really good drop

Had a few beers down at the Blackwood Brewing Co in Bridgetown today. Their pale ale varieties were a bit average but their Irish Red ale and stout porter were quite good. Wasn't game to buy their truffle or chestnut ales as they were far too pricey.

Grabbed a 6er of the Gage Roads All Day XPA. It's basically Captain Sensible in a different jacket - which isn't a bad thing.

Serious bargain. I’ve bought that beer for around $10 a can or something recently

Deep Creek make quality beers.

 

[omgfridge]

This is absolutely wonderful

Heading to Blasta on Saturday for the first time, any recommendations on what to try?

Beer!

Seriously though, no wrong options at Blasta, loosely speaking. I'm not a fan of that citrus Hefe they do. The stock Blastaweisen is elite, though, as is anything hoppy and sour they do.
