true south finally got the license and had its opening Friday, packed place, real classy, a lot of good looking ladies and awesome fucking beer! not usually the one to rant about that kind of thing but the fruit flavours are definately interesting, been twice in 3 days .

Where is this joint exactly mate?

HERE

on beach rd, right next to the clock tower, impossible to miss.

about to go down for birthday dinner and more beers, 3rd visit in 4 days being open... woops

Sounds good mate, cheers

been drinking another little locally brewed beer- taxi pilsener

light and summery, cool label too. try him

thats the 2brothers brewery pilsner, have heard its quite nice...tried their rusty pale ale the other night and god damn it was rusty. Belgian Pale ale. the blurb on the back of the label leaves a bit to be desired tho.

Tryed taxi a few times, yet to goto the 2 brothers brewery in moorabin or bentliegh but it's available at hobsons in Sandy and White Charlie on chapel street, heard a lot of mixed reviews from people but overall nice easy drinking beer

Haven't been a huge fan of the 2 Brothers stuff I've tried

fuck i had a : (cant eve spell it see below for internet description)

Unibroe Éphémère apple... has an alluring pale golden color, effervescent foam, and a mouth-watering bouquet of Granny Smith apples and spices. It is slightly sweet, slightly tart and refreshingly thirst-quenching.
Since March 2002 ...MORE
(eff-eh-mehr)
White ale
5.5% ABV

last night on the delivery run at lambs go bar (biggups adam) and it was one of the most amazing beers i've had. so much depth.

where's it from?

WARNING!

BEER GRIPE!

Amstel has changed its recipe or my palate has changed but it seriously tastes like shit. I used to drink it heaps when they were $30 a slab at Safeway and I bought another recently. Big mistake.

Dude.

Amstel?

DUDE!

I KNOW...we all make mistakes.

I'm dragging myself and my old man for his 60th to the Taphouse.

Nice one! Heading down there tomorrow arvo for a few ales.

Let me know what you drink, would like a head's up.

At The Local?

Will do mate.

Yeah at the Taphouse.

Wouldn't mind having another crack at that Köstritzer Schwarzbier.

Mmmm...

Cider/Beer?

@ Breaksrbest - Beer (Ale with fruit). French Canadian.

Found Bitburger on tap.

Shame the venue is naff as fuck.

two meter tall - pale ale 500ml

WIN

So I had a Matilda Bay lager of some sort @ The Local. Haven't heard of it before... and can't find it on their website.

As far as lagers go, it was nice - crisp, refreshing and with some sort of flavour I couldn't describe... but it was pleasant.

Didn't hang around too long though.

Anyone seen Abbot Ale around? Love that stuff!

Can't recall seeing it, no,

Stuff i've tried recently...

Big Helga's - Munich Style Lager
Zubr Gold - Czech Pilsner
Coopers Clear - Wannabe Corona
Hummingbird - Passionfruit Lager

lolololololololololololololololololololololololol
you bought hummingbird?
lolololololololololololololololololloollololololol

No I was offered one, tried it, and felt sick.

hope you weren't sick on your frock.

lolz

i've said it before and i'll say it again
MONTEITH'S SUMMER ALE

this stuff's gotta be my fave atm

big ups to having a private stash of it at work, along with some crushed apple cider..........staff discount ftw

Please don't spam the beer thread. kthnxbye!

tried a hargraves hill esb in the bottle the other day, prefer it in the keg.

also tried a bridge road red ale was good.

white rabbit was nice too.

not local but had a rouge dead guy ale and it tasted like someone forgot the hops, all malty sweetness. then had an epic armageddon ipa and my god i was burping hops for days. after that we hooked into a brewdog punk ipa and although we had just had an epic the punk was chockfull of grapefruit! best two beers i've tasted in a long time. also had a bridge road single hop IPA (Galaxy hop) which was good but they needed to dry hop it a touch more.

and scored a kwak glass for $15 from slowbeer in hawthorn...this glass is pure porn :

Everytime I see one of these in someones kitchen cupboard I get the urge to swipe it.

Fuck I drank so much good beer in Brussels and South London. My brother owns a pub that has 4 independant local beers that rotate each week or so.
Best holiday ever.

I tried 'Bitch' Premium lager last night

6%

I was half way to bed after three....

welcome back! nice one, did he have any handpumped cask ales? did you try an original timothy taylor landlord?

He had 4 hand pumps.
Tried IPA, London Pride, and a bunch of others. He changed 2 of them all the time and kept 2 on all the time. Also had 2 sets of normal taps with Amstel, Kronenburg etc.

scoring a brand new one of these fuckin' lil beautys for US$150. Booyah!!!! I'm gonna start brewing like a man posessed



getting it shipped from China in one of the work containers

Nice one BrB.

monday is my friday..
want beer nao

Just went to the most kick arse beer joint in Harajuku...........Harajuku Taproom

15 taps and two hand pumps

Nice contrast to the fast paced streetwear wank/schoolgirl fashionista paradise only metres away

Beers I tried were.........Angry Boy Brown Ale, Second Strike Apple Ale and Harajuku Ale (which was hand pumped)

All were fucking amazing. Woulda hung round for a few more if it weren't for the cheeky few beers over lunch I had already sunk with Hatsudai (who might I add is a total gent, big up Shannon). Will def be back for more before I leave Japan. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a quality, well pulled beer in Tokyo
