St Pats eve Guinness on the menu tonight

I completely forgot! I’ve got a fridge full of high strength IPAs. Could get messy.

Happy St Pats day fellow beer lovers.

Time to celebrate the first Friday of the week with some sort of alcoholic beverage made from water, hops, grain and yeast.

Suggestions?

Hop Nation Market Neipa. Clean and gives a very hoppy little buzz.

I would've settled for beer as the answer but that'll do

Mornington Squid Rising NEIPA. Best Aussie beer I've had in a longgggg time.

I’ve got a nice beer buzz going. Might have a couple more before going to a scotch. Have to keep myself nice for the big game tomorrow.

There are plenty of fakes around. It will be good when the independent label is introduced.

Yes. As long as the public understand what it means.
Unfortunately I’m sure that the big brewers won’t let the label stop them from trying to capture the market.

Let the plebs drink crap beer.

No doubt.
But that only hurts the craft producers.
The industry needs public awareness that the big boys are conning them.
May take some of the tax break money they have been given to fund a campaign.

Just spend sunday arvo with a friend at a little boutique pub.
Had Brewdog Punk IPA, which I quite enjoyed but am no expert so would like to hear what others think of it.
Also had Tripel Karmeliet which is a Belgium wheat beer and was also very enjoyable.

Feel like something hoppy tonight

The Kooinda IPA isn't bad. Reasonably priced too. They've brought out 2 new cans.

Collingwood should partner with a local brewery to brew a beer served in a black and white can to sell at VFL games like the Dogs have done with Two Birds

I think it went well for the brewery. Particularly after 16'.
Well done last night btw.


At tallboy and Moose today in Preston. Some great beers left over from good beer week.
Their NEIPA is decent.

buying IPA to go with curry the other day - saw this - looked like price was 99c - thought "that's worth a go"
Turns out was $9.99 - should have gone to Specsavers!!! Trouble is I did go to Specsavers couple of weeks ago - now I'm going to start wearing them!!!


should have taken some to the MCG - handed them out to Melb supporters

The fire is lit. Time to settle into some Moon Dog Cake Hole Stout. At 6.5% I should sleep well.

Have you had the Hop Nation Market Neipa? Named after the Footscray market.

Yep, not bad. Not as good as the Jedi but still very good.

Try the Mornington Squid Rising. Excellent beer.

I had it last week, very nice. I’m getting into the darker beers at the moment.

Good time for it. Tried the venom black IPA and Mr. Banks Coconut Porter the other day. Neither was all that impressive.
