Great news from Dads Stuff HQ with our resident Cocktail expert Andy mixing up his first Cocktail of the Month – tell us what you think of this one, the Arches of Rome in the comment section below. Take it away Andy! Some time ago my girlfriend & I realised we were unintentionally building…
If you’ve read any of my other reviews of pale ales then you’ll be well aware that I rank them on fruitiness. Her Majesty’s Pale Ale from the Batch Brewing Co has little to no fruit flavours, and that’s one of the reasons I love it. It’s a lot different to other pales out there.…
Green Beach Brewing Co has produced this 3 Bolt Pale Session Ale and my first impression is that is darker than other pales. But that’s only in looks, and not in flavour. It’s verging on the taste of a golden ale, but maintains the tangyness of a good pale. The beer isn’t pasturised so they recommend…
Pouring this into my glass I was amazed at how dark it was, very dark for an Aussie ale, but this Balter Alt Brown Ale is incredible. To be honest it wasn’t what I was expecting. It’s smooth and easy drinking, with a slight taste of treacle and chocolate along with some nuttiness. Let’s be honest…
The Six String Brewing Co Pale Ale is another craft beer opting for a can over a bottle, and this one has a cool medieval style logo on it. Brewed on the central coast of NSW, this is a light and delicious pale ale, I poured it into a glass to see just how light…
When I first read that the Das Helles German style lager from Batch Brewing weighed in at a hefty 5.5% I was a little apprehensive that the alcohol content may dominate the flavour. That most certainly isn’t the case and this is one of my favourite beers going around. It’s so smooth and creamy without…
Cider can be sweet, very sweet. There’s no hiding away from the fact it’s delicious, especially over ice on a hot afternoon in the sunshine. But it’s sweet. Enter Pure Blonde Crisp Apple Cider… which is aiming to solve that sweet little problem. You may or may not know Pure Blonde as a low carb…
Feral Brewery – ‘Boris’ Russian Imperial Stout is a big bad beer. It will knock your socks off, in fact it will knock your shoes and socks off. It has the potential to knock your head off. Why? It’s 9.1% and tastes every bit as strong as it sounds. The stout flavour is delicious, dark treacle…
If I called Ironbridge Brewing Company’s A Fistful of Barley Pale Ale an entry level Pale Ale would you know what I mean? It’s pretty tame on flavour but gives you a stepping stone onto the hard stuff. That sounds like I’m trying to get you hooked on some serious gear, but it’s a pale ale,…
Have you ever noticed how small the opening is to the top of the bottle of Asahi? No? Just me? Next time you have a bottle, look! Asahi Super Dry is one of those beers that tastes delicious on tap in one of those posh glasses out of the fridge at the pub. But I…
