Beer

[Johnny Canuck]

I want to try a pumpkin ale, but not Gages Rd. Another beer I had of theirs was horrid; their IPA, I think.

Saranac Pumpkin Ale is fantastic.

[Eag's]

Knocking back a few Asahi, cheers to the big Spaniard for putting me onto this lovely drop

[AndyP]

I had the Sapporo yesterday, Eag's. it was good for a lager.

[Eag's]

I have compiled a list AP, it looks like it may take me awhile to get the bottom of it

[aussieashley]

I'm sure you guys are already onto this, but check out www.boozle.com.au to source cheap beer in your area.
(Although I reckon Dan's & First Choice are generally the best anyway)

[Eag's]

It is a rare thing to find Dan Murphy's prices beaten in my area, but I am always on the look out

This.They might get rolled on sale by BWS/LiquorLand for a generic Aussie beer once in a while, but day in day out they are awesome.

And then they beat the price, can't lose.

Bought some Atomic Pale Ale on a mates recommendation. Very easy to drink. I reckon you could have a session on it very easily!

Yep, i love it, just rip out an ad from whatever in the paper and take it.
My local is 1km away, they macth it and give me 5-10% less......

Back on the Summer Dry's...Man this stuff goes down good...55 pages of beer and counting, gotta love it. I could live in here!

[oncewasagolfer]

Having a couple of coronas going down nice and easy on a warm evening.

[Webster]

Had a few Mountain Goat's the last few nights. Nice drop, but not in the class of Red Duck.

[andigold]

The hightail Jack? It's a cracking beer but way over carbonated, I like it more than the duck simply because the malt & hops are both dialed up in comparison. The duck is a better session ale though, which is why I have it on at work

[AndyP]

Does "have it on at work" mean that I'll be able to try it on my upcoming visit?

[Webster]

Yes you will Andyp.

Andigold, tried the hoppy amber from Red Duck? - its more your style.

[andigold]

Sure will Andy, I have a small craft liston as well as a beer of the month, they're all $8.50 and the list is

Prickly Moses Pilsener, VIC, Bungarook

[andigold]

Yes you will Andyp.

No I haven't Jack, I'll put it on the list though

I love it when someone says a beer is "sessionable"

[BenM]

It's a great criteria for judging beer!

There are some beers which are nice but you can only drink so many. I find a lot of the really hoppy premiums like that (Boag's Premium comes to mind) - I can have a few but couldn't drink 6 or 8 in a sitting. Just too fruity and not very nice after a while. On the other hand there are some beers I can easily sit and drink 6+ which makes it a very sessionable beer in my book.

And now that I've said that I have to buy some Red Duck. And if this makes no sense please ignore, since I've had a bit of a session on Boag's Draught tonight (the local staple, it's like mother's milk)....

[AndyP]

I've had the Stone & Wood and the Wicked Elf before.

My favourite budget beer which is what I mostly drink

[Haystacks]

Went into Uncle Dan's this arvo to stock up on the staples.
I always have a bit of a look around at what looks good and what looks cheap.

Spotted the Sail & Anchor range at $44 a box...thought to myself, "self, you best be grabbing some of that," so I did.

As I dragged a carton of Golden Ale out of the shelving, I thought either the adrenalin is running, or it was a bit light.
It was a freakin carton of 16! Who (obviously apart from Sail & Anchor) makes a box of beer with only 16 beers in it and why?

Maybe I should ask SMS...

Sneaky bustards.

As a pale ale lover I just reckon there is nothing better than Little Creatures. I can't do a big session on it though. 6 or so and I feel the need to change to bourbon or red plonk.

[hocko]

I personally think both of those are overpriced wanky WA beers. The only 'creatures beer I can drink is the pilsner and I stop at one
