French Press Experiment #5: Galaxy

By beerisyourfriend on August 8, 2014 • ( 4 Comments )

  This will actually be the final French Press Experiment. I did start out with a six-pack of beer that would be run through the press but I rather foolishly put one […]

French Press Experiment #4: Lemon and Mint

By beerisyourfriend on August 7, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )

Did you know that, when they build housing estates, they’ll often plant a lemon tree in the backyard? At least that’s what I’ve heard. Sure, it could be bullshit but it would […]

French Press Experiment #3: Lime and Coriander

By beerisyourfriend on August 6, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )

Regular readers will know that I’m quite a fan of Two Birds Taco. So it makes sense to try and replicate that beer in today’s French Press Experiment. Lest you think I’m […]

The Stone Brewing Cover-Up

By beerisyourfriend on August 5, 2014 • ( 5 Comments )

Apologies to those that are over the whole Stone indiegogo farrago but I’m writing another post about it. Why? Well for two reasons: 1) I intensely dislike Greg Koch. He’s a little […]

French Press Experiment #2: English Breakfast Tea

By beerisyourfriend on August 5, 2014 • ( 1 Comment )

My wife is a big tea drinker, so I decided to raid some of her supplies for this French Press experiment. And I soon found a problem – she prefers to go […]

French Press Experiment #1: Rosemary

By beerisyourfriend on August 4, 2014 • ( 4 Comments )

I really don’t have much of an idea why we have rosemary in our backyard veggie garden. See, my wife does all the cooking at home. It’s not sexist – we have […]

Beer science – The French Press Experiments

By beerisyourfriend on August 3, 2014 • ( 4 Comments )

If you’re like me you’ve probably got some pretty average stock-standard beers at home. Maybe you’re a blogger and someone sent you some ordinary lager to review. Or maybe a friend turned […]

The worst beer glass ever

By beerisyourfriend on August 2, 2014 • ( 12 Comments )

This, gentle readers, is a beer glass. Goddamn ugly, isn’t it? It was designed by the Beer Pilgrim, that spokesman for Lion who pretends to know something about beer. He created this […]

Crafty work worth the wait

By beerisyourfriend on August 2, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )

150 Great Australian Beers James Smith Hardie Grant, 2014 Some months before this book was released on Friday, I’d sent a message to Smith via Twitter offering my services to read through […]

The Six-Pack – August 1, 2014

By beerisyourfriend on August 1, 2014 • ( 3 Comments )

Number 1: This tweet from @jonogaluszka @26bear Love your work Glen. You're slowing turning into the @phil_cook of Aussie beer writing. — Jono Galuszka (@jonogaluszka) July 24, 2014 Yeah, it’s a bit […]
