Beer

Never been into craft beer myself. But the mil has bought me this for my birthday this year.IMG_0947.jpg.
It's a beer advent calendar. I have a bit of catching up to do but will share my thoughts on each days drop.

Need some advice, have been drinking the Karl Strauss pintail pale ale recently and really enjoy it. However is now almost impossible to find in WA.

Any recommended drops similar ? Little Creatures is so so, James squire hop thief crap.

Cheers

It is the next step in from Little Creatures for a pale ale that should be available from the major chains.

Bergsey, just grab a bunch of single pale ales from the bottlo and see what you like.

Can you find any Karl Strauss at all? What about Tower 10 - it's pretty good. On a value for money analysis Hop Thief holds up OK against the stupidly overpriced Strauss.

Yeah drinking the Tower 10 at the moment. Prefer the Pintail to be honest. Also enjoy their red trolley ale.Yep tried the 4 pines, not too bad.I might have to go back to the old faithful Feral Hop Hog but again crazy priced. Dan's advertised a carton of 24 of them for $50 but is only a carton of 16... false advertising!!

Bergsey look around some more Dans. My local Dans always have plenty of Pintail.

No way will you be able to limit yourself to 1 a day....

Picked up a 6 pack of Ballast Point Even Keel session IPA. Has a big hoppy smell and taste to it and at only 3.8% could easily drink these all night long.

Dan's were advertising a carton for $95 on special - worth the dough?

I would pay $95 for a box of it. It is a bit pricey for a mid strength but it doesn't have that watery mid taste.

Sipping on a Mountain Goat Fancy Pants at the moment, 15 Clams for a six pack of 375ml Cans is reasonable drink and value imo!
