Here at Dads Stuff we love to get opinions from as many people as possible, as expected, it’s not hard to get opinions about beers. So, we’ve got two new faces reviewing beers for us… Andy and Dan. Andy picked an unusual tipple for his first review, and here it is! For my first beer…
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…
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…
I love seeing a new beer on the shelf, particularly when it’s from a place I haven’t seen beer from before. Badlands Brewery is from Orange in NSW, a place I visited for the first time during my family road trip to Dubbo last year (you can read all about that trip here). This beer…
The first thing you notice about this can is it’s wonderful retro design. The white can with green writing looks like it should be drunk in the changing rooms of a 1970s cricket match. Then comes the ring pull… it’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink with the full peel off ring…
This premium Jack Ryan Irish whiskey is a 15 year old single malt which has been aged in bourbon barrels and then finished in sherry casks – Bourbon and Bodega – Bourdega! The Ryan family have long associations with Irish Whiskey going back to a time when they bottled their own Ryan’s Malt which they…
Our Whisky expert is at it again, here’s his latest review for your enjoyment! The Glengyle Distillery in the Campbeltown region of Scotland was founded in 1872, and closed in 1925. In late 2000 the company of Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd. was formed with the express purpose of renovating and rebuilding the Glengyle distillery. Over the…
Unlike many beer and wine drinkers, I’m not usually a sucker for a label based purchase. Nor does the story behind the beer or wine make me want to drink it any more than another option. But I have to admit that this theory went out of the window somewhat with the Norton Lager. You…
The BenRiach distillery sits in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside region, just 5km south of the coastal town of Elgin. Once owned by Glenlivet and used exclusively in their blends, it was bought by Master Distiller Billy Walker in 2004. The Cask Strength expression was released in early 2016, and is a combination of American…
As a rule, Australian craft gins are produced to a seriously high standard. That’s why it’s always a pleasure to find one that stands out from the crowd. Poltergeist is without doubt one of these gins. There are two versions, the ‘Unfiltered’ and the ‘True Spirit.’ Our preference is for this unfiltered. Because it hasn’t…
