A pair of pales

By beerisyourfriend on June 29, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Last year, the family had a weekend away way down the South Coast. One of the places we stopped at was Mogo. Needing a few bottles of refreshment, I visited the Mogo […]

Medicine bottle makes me sick

Before we get to the review of St Peters Ruby Red Ale from the UK, I’d like you to look at the photo for a bit. My wife, unimpressed with my crappy […]

Drive-Thru Bottlo

By beerisyourfriend on June 27, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

An ode to the drive-thru bottlo from Canberra’s Veebees, described as “four blokes, three chords, two brain cells and one carton of beer.” Sure, it’s dumb. But it’s a good kind of […]

Fill your car and your growler

Toucan time

By beerisyourfriend on June 22, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

This is the first glass poured from my latest home brew ( eagle-eyed beer geeks might recognise the bottle – it’s a reused bottle from the Renaissance brewery in New Zealand). The […]

Sad times

By beerisyourfriend on June 22, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

This is an empty growler. One that once held, not one, but two litres of The Butcher porter from Rocks Brewing Co. That is sad because I love this porter so much. […]
