I’ve made it!

By beerisyourfriend on September 13, 2013 • ( 2 Comments )

As of today I get to hang out with the cool kids. That’s because I’ve been chosen as the blog of the month on the Crafty Pint website. That’s the premiere beer […]

Canned Beer Week – Day Six

By beerisyourfriend on September 13, 2013 • ( 2 Comments )

I really do not understand this beer – on any level. Firstly, what is it with the name “Tun”? I presume it’s meant to be some sort of oblique reference to “mash […]

Canned Beer Week – Day Five

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

I should have gotten a photo of the top of this can of IPA from Japan’s Yo-Ho Brewing Company. At the very least it’d be more interesting than the cheap one here […]

“Falling sales. Takeover bids. The lowest level of consumption in decades. Take your pick any number of recent gloomy headlines and you could be forgiven for thinking the Australian beer industry is […]

I really should have been more curious about the widget inside a can of Guinness Draught. I’d had a few cans in my time and not once did I think the cut […]

Canned Beer Week – Day Two

By beerisyourfriend on September 9, 2013 • ( 1 Comment )

This one was very much a mystery beer. With every word on the can is written in Polish I had absolutely no idea what sort of beer it was. I assumed the […]

Canned Beer Week – Day One

By beerisyourfriend on September 8, 2013 • ( 2 Comments )

Slowly, slowly, canned beer is making a bit of a comeback. Which is a good enough reason for me to create Canned Beer Week. If you’re pretty dim, that means I’ll be […]

By beerisyourfriend on September 7, 2013 • ( 2 Comments )

So there’s quite a story as to how I found me some Dogbolter from Matilda Bay. Some of you might think there can’t be any story behind finding a beer from one […]
