“Doss Blockos”. That’s the name of the beer we’re reviewing today, not some new phrase that the Spanish have invented for themselves…. East 9th Brewing Company, based out of Melbourne, are the dudes responsible for this drop of Pale Lager and checking out their website, I reckon you’d have to say they are a bit…
ABEL QUINTESSENCE GIN REVIEW
If you’re one of those people who think gin is only a summer drink, it’s time for a rethink! The latest boom in craft gin is precisely because gin is arguably the most versatile spirit out there. Drink it neat, with mixers (not just tonic) or in a multitude of cocktails, there really is a…
CRICKETERS ARMS SESSION ALE REVIEW
After browsing through the local bottle shop for some beer to drink while on holidays, I came across the six pack of the Cricketers Arms Session Ale. Having never had a Cricketers Arm beer, I thought I’d give them a go. Plus, the bottle shop I was in had them on sale, so why not?…
PATIENT WOLF GIN REVIEW

Happy 4th of July to all our American readers. It’s only right that we celebrate with you, by reviewing a beer from the U S of A… it would be rude not to wouldn’t it? Speakeasy beers come from the West Coast of the America, in fact they were founded 20 years ago in San Francisco.…

MAKING YOUR OWN BEER – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Beer… it’s great isn’t it? There’s so much on offer these days too with local breweries popping up left, right and centre. We’re taking an interest in home brew too, as a great hobby with an even better end result (fingers crossed). So we’ve asked the guys at Country Brewer in Petersham to help us…
CASTLE MILK STOUT REVIEW
Forgive me whilst I deliver a life story to begin this review (why change the habit of a lifetime I hear you shout). South Africa is very dear to me. My wife is from Johannesburg, I’ve spent some wonderful times there, met some wonderful people and seen some amazing things. The tradition we have on…
