Kereru Brewing NZ Old Red Oak Ale Special Edition Amber Ale. With a 50 litre brewing facility underneath their house and the sound of wood pigeons (kereru) in their back garden, Kereru Brewing was born. Their next move was to turn a derelict and dusty carpet factory (once Feltex) in [...]
There has been some controversy over the @waywardbrewing Coffee and Donuts Milk Stout, and I’m here to dispel that. While there may have been a bad batch for Melbourne @gabsfestival , mine is magnificent. Almost as good in the can as it was on tap, it’s ambitious, to style, subtle [...]
The moment I started seeing the @bridgeroadbrewers Nitro Mountain Lager I was intrigued. The mixed concepts of smooth nitro, the connotation of winter and lager didn’t seem to work in my mind, so I only bought one to try. How wrong I was. Drunk on a cool afternoon overlooking a [...]
Stout and oysters are one of the great food/drink matchings. Every bit as good as Pinot and duck. The slightly sweet, slightly bitter flavour profile of stout sings with the brininess of oysters. Oysters have also been traditionally used in beer as a clarifying product but are now used for [...]
Lava Lava Mango Raspberry Sour from Deep Creek Brewing Co, our friends across the ditch! Been saving this one for a special occasion and with the release yesterday of @toolmusic new single Fear Inoculum I think it's apt. @deepcreekbrewingco have been crushing it lately with some really tasty brews, this [...]

After cutting his teeth at @stoneandwood Tom was green lighted to start his passion project, a [...]
I’ve been drinking craft beer for almost 20 years, and there has always been @holgatebeer . Nestled in the central Victorian town of Woodend, the husband and wife team have been brewing beers in their brewpub since 1999, a time when the Australian scene was very bleak. Brewpubs are my [...]
The amazing brewers at @hopnationbeer were winemakers in a previous life, and they’ve returned to their roots with a new side project - @siteferment . As part of the Site Fermentation Project they are making mixed fermentation beers as well as single vineyard wines. This is exciting stuff for lovers [...]
Santa Monica Brew Co at Santa Monica Beach California. Had the pleasure of dropping by here with the family while holidaying in California and Los Carbos Mexico. The place itself was well thought out with good seating, fermentation tanks etc on display and live sports scattered on teles throughout the [...]
I really love hoppy red beers at this time of year. Sometimes I need a hop fix, wrapper around comforting malts as opposed to the black beers I often drink at night in winter. During the week I had three different versions, but the best by far was the Alpine [...]
