So far so good, into the 2nd Stubbie, probably should pour it into a glass but can't be bothered maybe the next one will make a glass.

**AndyP** · 24th December 2014 05:02 PM

I just finished a 6 pack of the pale. Good stuff.

Thanks for giving me the excuse to go there a second time today! Grabbed a six each of the Hefeweizen and Pale Ale, plus a 6 pack of Coronas for an extra $10.

**Grunt** · 24th December 2014 07:30 PM

Well the 6 Hefeweizen are now gone, very nice drop. On to the pale ale and WOW, love it!

thats nothing, 2 six packs of 4 Pines, Case of The Chancer, Case of Jacobs Creek Sparkling Pinot noir Chardonnay and the bonus bottle of Sav Blanc. All in one pit stop and then Mrd Grunt comes home with a Tap King and 2 mini kegs of The Chancer. I think I might have a problem

Just finished a Garage Project Hops on Pointe

A ripping golden lager from NewZealand.

At $18 a bottle it really is extraordinary

**AndyP** · 26th December 2014 08:48 PM

I haven't heard many lagers called extraordinary. I've seen it around, so I'll keep my eye out.

**Sydney Hacker** · 26th December 2014 10:26 PM

Been into the Little Creatures Rogers lately, easily the best midstrength I have ever had.

**AlexMc** · 27th December 2014 09:33 AM

Had a Murrays Retro Rocket IPA the other day - was amazed to learn it was only 2.8% alcohol content. Hands down the best light beer I've had, but there are better pales out there...

It is worth it i think But it all comes down to personal taste. Not a huge lager fan, but the last 2 ive had have been very very good. If you can get away from thinking of lagers as Heineken and all the green bottle type beers, there are some great ones to be had

**Daves** · 27th December 2014 07:52 PM

Anyone Czech beers worth trying?. I see they are the world's leading beer consumers, so I would assume they have some interesting brews.

**AndyP** · 27th December 2014 08:56 PM

I haven't had any that I can think of, except for the beer that Budweiser was based on. Budvar or something like that. Czech Pilsner is a specific style.

**Ron Burgundy** · 27th December 2014 09:43 PM

The yanks stole the name but not the quality. Budweiser Budvar is a very nice pale lager that had been brewed for hundreds of years before America was even discovered. The Czechs also invented Pilsner (it comes from Plzen). Pilsner Urquell is the original and is one of my favourite beers. Don't know much about their smaller breweries. Pretty sure there's an ozgolfer living over there who could probably point you in the right direction.

**goughy** · 27th December 2014 11:34 PM

I bought 2 six packs yesterday. And was given one by a customer on new years eve. That's more beer than I've had in the house in 2 years, probably 3 really.

**RobNewy** · 18th January 2015 05:29 PM

Edge Brewing Project Angel of Zest Finger Lime Saison.

Never had a saison before, so can't really compare it to anything, but gee friggin willikers its a great drop.
Sort of like a Belgian Ale and a Weisbeer.

If you asked me under pain of death, i would say it's like White Rabbit White Ale on steroids

**BenM** · 18th January 2015 06:09 PM

Great name for a beer too.

I went to Beerfest yesterday. Had half a dozen new beers before I had to go. There are some good up and coming brewers round here!

If I do it again I will stick to having tastes rather than pots though!

**RobNewy** · 18th January 2015 06:45 PM

Wereabouts BenM?

**BenM** · 18th January 2015 08:00 PM

It was pretty good, I imagine ours would be fairly small scale compared to others but there was still lots to choose from.

Think next time I go I will have more tastes instead of buying a pot of everything I want to try. Was ready for a little nap when I got home

**RobNewy** · 24th January 2015 04:10 PM

StillWater Artisinal Ale's, Why Cant IBU.

A Belgian IPA.
Its probly very good if you like that Belgian style.
Me, im not a huge fan

**AndyP** · 24th January 2015 08:57 PM

I haven't heard great reports from that beer besides its name.

**Grunt** · 26th January 2015 07:19 PM

Well it has come out the hottest 100 beers of 2014.

http://craftypint.com/news/945/Hotte...f_2014_Results

How many have you ticked off? I will have a look and hope to get around 20 at least. Have heard a certain OzGolfer may have almost got to 80 :8
