Overlooked Beers – Day Seven

By beerisyourfriend on October 3, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

Of the seven overlooked beers this week, this is the only one made by someone I know. Scotty Morgan from The Rocks Brewing Company lives a bit down the road from me […]

VB ads eat themselves

By beerisyourfriend on October 2, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

  So this is the new ad from VB, which reintroduces what they like to call “rhyming couplets”. Which, I guess is technically correct, but makes it sound like the ad was […]

Overlooked Beers – Day Six

By beerisyourfriend on October 2, 2015 • ( 4 Comments )

Sometimes you can love a beer because of the time and place you had it, as much as anything to do with the flavour of the beer itself. It’s like that for […]

Overlooked Beers – Day Five

By beerisyourfriend on October 1, 2015 • ( 6 Comments )

When it comes to overlooked beers, you can file Holgate’s Mt Macedon pale ale in the same category as Bridge Road’s Beechworth pale ale. Like the Beechie, if you told me a […]

Overlooked Beers – Day Four

By beerisyourfriend on September 30, 2015 • ( 2 Comments )

Mountain Goat’s Hightail Ale is a beer I’ve avoided for ages because, just quietly, I never really liked it. I much rather preferred to drink their Steam Ale back in the day. […]

Overlooked Beers – Day Three

By beerisyourfriend on September 29, 2015 • ( 2 Comments )

I can tell you why I walk past the Moo Brew beers at my local Dan Murphy’s. It’s the price – at $6 a bottle and $22 a four-pack I reckon they’re […]

The Mountain Goat sale – put the pitchforks down people

By beerisyourfriend on September 28, 2015 • ( 2 Comments )

  Okay, so Mountain Goat sold the business to Asahi. You know what that means? Right now, nothing. Well, unless you’re the sort who makes it a habit of instantly disliking any […]

Overlooked Beers – Day Two

By beerisyourfriend on September 28, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

The last time I had Burleigh Brewing’s FIGJAM? I really, truly couldn’t tell you. I know I’ve had it before – and it made enough of an impression that it was my […]

Overlooked Beers – Day One

By beerisyourfriend on September 27, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

One thing I’ve realised in this month of just drinking Australian beers is how many of them I overlook for the other 11 months of the year. I see them on the […]

Five things about … Redd’s Apple Ale

By beerisyourfriend on September 27, 2015 • ( Leave a comment )

  1) I loved Billy B’s apple beer from Thorogoods…the second time I had it. The first time, they sent me a few bottles and I didn’t find it very nice at […]
