Crap Beer Week – Day Seven

By beerisyourfriend on November 16, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

This beer isn’t on the list because it tastes crap – though it is an ordinary beer. For mine there’s a weird sweetness which is presumably from the malt, though it could […]

Crap Beer Week – Day Six

By beerisyourfriend on November 15, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

When the subject is crap beer it’s really hard not to include more than just one of the mega-brands from the United States. Hell, I could have probably gone close to filling […]

Crap Beer Week – Day Five

By beerisyourfriend on November 14, 2013 • ( 6 Comments )

Really, I could have picked any low-carb beer for this post, but I opted for Burleigh Brewing’s Bighead because of two reasons 1) It is a no-carb beer, which makes it a […]

The Thursday quote

By beerisyourfriend on November 14, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

“In 1920 could anyone have believed that the Eighteenth Amendment, ostensibly addressing the single subject of intoxicating beverages, would set off an avalanche of change in areas as diverse as international trade, […]

Crap Beer Week – Day Four

By beerisyourfriend on November 13, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

Regular readers would know of my great disappointment with Monteith’s. I once loved their beers but now they’re ordinary. And the new beers they’re launching are really hit and miss. I really […]

Crap Beer Week – Day Three

By beerisyourfriend on November 12, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

You know what’s deeply unpleasant? Drinking a beer solely for the purpose of Crap Beer Week only to later discover that you can’t find your notes about the beer’s terribleness. That’s what […]

It’s YouTubesday!

By beerisyourfriend on November 12, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

In 2011 Bridge Road Brewers made their 500th beer –  a breakfast lager with coffee beans, tea, raisin bread, muesli, honey and maple syrup. Here boss man Ben Kraus takes us through […]

Crap Beer Week – Day Two

By beerisyourfriend on November 11, 2013 • ( 3 Comments )

Miller Chill is wrong on so many levels. Firstly, there’s the same – “Chill” is just a stupid name for a beer. Then there’s the problem that it’s a low-carb beer. As […]

Crap Beer Week – Day One

By beerisyourfriend on November 10, 2013 • ( 3 Comments )

Okay, so what we have here is the first of a week of the beers I think are crap. Some of them might come from the big brewers but not all – […]

Drinking Dan’s Dry

By beerisyourfriend on November 8, 2013 • ( 5 Comments )

This is a beer that you’d think I’d have gotten around to drinking before now. Dan Murphy’s has been stocking it for ages and I’m a regular visitor to various Uncle Dan’s […]
