The waiting game

By beerisyourfriend on July 21, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Right now my fermenter is empty – as you might have guessed by this photo. And it’s empty on purpose. See, I figured out I’ve got about four crates of homebrew sitting […]

Waiting too long

By beerisyourfriend on July 19, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

This is a bottle of Mountain Goat’s Surefoot Stout. For reasons I’m not at all sure about, I kept this in my beer fridge (which isn’t actually plugged in so as to […]

Why did they bother?

By beerisyourfriend on July 18, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

I don’t understand why alcoholic ginger beer exists. See, to me there’s absolutely no difference in taste between the alcoholic version of ginger beer and the soft drink your kids can buy […]

By beerisyourfriend on July 18, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

As a matter of fact kids and beer do mix – just not in the way you might think. About a week ago, we went up to Sydney to take our daughter […]

Coopers Extra Vintage

By beerisyourfriend on July 13, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

I’ve got ever so slightly unpleasant memories of the 2011 Coopers Extra Vintage Ale. And it’s absolutely not the fault of the beer. Last year I’d enjoyed a few of them (in […]

A one-of-a-kind beer

By beerisyourfriend on July 7, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Most beers hang around for yonks, so they’re easy to get a hold of. They can sit in the beer fridge for months until a mate recommends it as a good beer […]

Talk about disappointing

By beerisyourfriend on July 6, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

There’s a bit of a story behind this beer. Not to do with the beer itself but how I came to acquire it. And the story is probably more interesting than the […]
