If, like me, you’re in your late thirties, have a child, and aren’t exactly ‘pub fit’ then you can definitely be forgiven for feeling a little light headed after a bottle of this Young Henry’s Hope Ale. It’s delicious, packed full of flavour but at 6% made me notice the strength as soon as I…
There’s so many options for weekend road trips out of Sydney, most people head to the coast, north or south, and it’s quite understandable. The beaches are great, there’s so many of them, and the roads are (usually) pretty good. Heading west is usually restricted to the Blue Mountains, but once you cross them and…
For a beer that brand itself as being a ‘knock out cold’ it’s surprisingly mild in flavour. Saying that, Murray’s Angry Man Pale Ale isn’t unpleasant, it’s just not one of those face slappingly fruity pale ales which are prevalent these days. It’s tasty and light on the palette, would match well with most foods…
I’m not usually one to categorise beers on when you should drink them because of the weather, mainly because I don’t want to miss out on my favourite brew because it’s just clicked over 20 degrees. I will however make an exception for this Prancing Pony Amber Ale. That’s because it’s deliciously warming and tasty,…
I used to drink Estrella Barcelona on tap on my many trips to Spain in my youth. It wasn’t just in tourist bars on package holidays either. I loved a glass of this on a hot day, when it was like the nectar of the gods. Uber refreshing but not only that, packed with flavour. This…
There’s so many options for food delivery these days. Direct from the shop, or by using one of many food delivery sites that give you options of all different types of food. Not all of them manage to deliver you something to drink with you dinner, but that is changing! If you live in Melbourne,…
You will have seen the headlines, read the articles, perhaps even voiced an opinion yourself. Even if you’re not really a car person the new Drift Mode on the Ford Focus RS will have no doubt featured somewhere on a news feed of yours over the past few weeks. I myself was interested to learn…
The kiwis make some great beers, but not many of them are easily found on our shores. Monteiths is one you can usually find and some of their offerings are really enjoyable. I love my pale ales, but sadly the Montheith Pointer Pale Ale isn’t one I’d rave about. It’s a lovely beer but misses the…
When you’re looking for a family car, there’s some key areas that you can’t overlook. Space and running costs. That’s often a tricky balance when it comes to the larger 4WD options that are on the market. So those points were very much at the front of my mind when I picked up the Ford…
This is definitely an ale, and not a traditional Aussie beer. I know it’s called an Amber Ale but so many of them on the shelves at the Bottle shop are ales in name only. This from Batch has a beautiful dark colour, a rich bitterness with a lemony aftertaste to finish it off. I…
