These six beers, they all look so different. But they do have something in common. Can you guess what it is? They’re all owned by Woolworths. Well, technically by “Pinnacle Drinks” which […]
Different but still the same

Number 1: This tweet from Joshua Bernstein The result of 13 years writing hundreds of articles and several books at the same desk? Your floor looks like this. pic.twitter.com/egSO4X3VXm — Joshua M. […]
Drink it you idiot – Day Five
This barley wine from Woolworths (yeah, it’s Sail & Anchor, but they’re owned by Woolworths, so it’s from Woolworths) was the reason I started cellaring beer. Of course. I’ve now stopped that […]

Devil Dodger and drinking the label
Taste can be a funny thing. When Sail & Anchor’s Devil Dodger IPA first came out I raced to Uncle Dan’s to buy some. Partially because it was a new beer and […]
