This little beer caught me by surprise at last years Warners at the bay beer festival. I have since then been eagerly awaiting for the bottled version to hit my local bottle shop and well just the other week it had! On the pour the beer presents itself with a fantastic amber glow followed by [...] [...]
And so I sit here, unemployed and a resident of Leeds for the first time in 9 and a bit years, reflecting on how much my home town has changed since I left. I remember packing up my stuff and moving to York all those years ago on a cold January morning wondering what on [...] [...]
And so the time has come to say farewell to London (and hello to Sydney). I found London an easy place to fall in love with (and in love) and have many, many happy memories spread out across the city, many in something of a haze. It’s a great city for drinking in, thinking in [...] [...]
Thanks to Augusta Margaret River Tourism for the help and support on this portion of our trip. “Oz Beer Adventure, Part II” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. In the second part of our two week … Continue reading → [...]
Mad Brewers here in Australia have created something special ………a Hoppy Hefe! The first thing that hits me is the massive citra hop aroma when I pop the cap followed by the sweet smell of the malts. On the pour it generates a awesome fluffy creamy white head with a orangey hazey body just like [...] [...]
“Oz Beer Adventure, Part I” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. In the first of three episodes from our two week Australian beer adventure, we quickly explore the area around Victoria’s capital. Beginning in Melbourne, we … Continue reading → [...]
One hundred years ago today, Wernher von Braun, the greatest rocket scientist in history, was born in Germany. He was the architect of NASA’s Saturn V launch vehicle that propelled Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon on July 20, 1969. And now….The Mash! We begin in Grand Rapids, Michigan’s craft beer capital, where the city’s [...] [...]
Una notizia che ci riporta un po’ indietro nel tempo e un po’ lontano nello spazio: si tratta della Marmite. Ai più giovani dirà poco, ma fino agli anni ’80 anche in Italia si poteva trovare in commercio un prodotto simile a quello presente su molte tavole inglesi e australiane, la Marmite, appunto, una crema [...] [...]
Number ten in the Critics’ Choice Top 100 is Murray’s Craft Brewing Company’s Angry Man Pale, which the brewers describe as their ‘idea of heaven. A hybrid of an American Pale Ale, combined with the classic English Pale Ale.’ The brewer’s notes describe ‘a full-bodied finish and complex character. The beer’s fresh citrusy/spicy aroma and flavour is strongly influenced by generous use of New Zealand-grown Motueka and Pacifica hops,’ while News Limited’s Mike Gribble calls it the ‘beer that defines the summer yearning of modern, sophisticated Australia.’ All I know is that if your local butcher happens to sell duck, veal and Cointreau sausages, this beer is the perfect match. Established in 2005, Murray’s Craft Brewing Company pride themselves on being Australia’s most ‘extreme brewer’, but with such high quality and diverse product, they are also one of the most respected.

The small bars of Perth are the closest thing for me to the pubs I love back home. Characterful, independent and not a bottleshop or TAB in sight. The Stanley in Wembley typifies what I like. It’s mismatched chic and indie soundtrack are perfect for Sunday drinking. If we didn’t have dinner plans the option [...] [...]
Merideth and I found it hard to believe that we had reached the end of our second Australian beer adventure. We had only one more day in Western Australia before returning to Melbourne and our flight back to California. We … Continue reading → [...]
Usually I can be heard kvetching about the fact that I am one behind Chris in our brewery count. It’s true, there are several things that bum me out about it. But there is also one big advantage: we each … Continue reading → [...]
Ginger beer… lets face it, it’s not really beer. Whatever, I’ll drink it anyway. The Basics Matso’s is a brewery in Broome Australia. They have only recently started sending bottles over to the East Coast and I vaguely recall seeing the labels around. They have a Japanese sounding name and a pretty neat little backstory [...] [...]
Besides drinking great beer and having a wonderful time, the goal for Merideth and I on our Australian trip was to reach the 700 brewery milestone. As we ticked off breweries early in the trip, we kept thoughts of 700 … Continue reading → [...]
I’ve been a bit slack of late on the blogging front, this is mainly due to my attention being focused on the move to Australia in a few weeks time. I did just want to mention a few good beers I’d tried in the last few weeks though. First up was the Nogne Ø and [...] [...]
After a night in Perth, our Western Australian travels continued in nearby Fremantle. Known as “Freo” in Aussie-speak, the city played an important part in Australian craft beer history. With its walkabilty and number of craft beer establishments, Freo seemed … Continue reading → [...]
We awoke to the rhythmic chirping of a small bird on our porch. The sky was overcast and the ground damp; a somewhat melancholy send off from an area we had definitely fallen in love with. We were eager to … Continue reading → [...]
Name: Mild Ale Brewery: Coopers (Regency Park, South Australia) Style: Mild Ale ABV: 3.5% Source: My flatmate Meh. If only I had decided to tweet my progress instead of actually blogging about each beer, I could have happily left this at that one word. But, seeing as I’m obliged to elaborate… As you may have [...] [...]
Se capitate in Australia e nel vostro peregrinare passate per la zona di Perth, prima di pensare a bere birra andate al porto di Fremantle, prendete il traghetto per Rottnest Island e godetevela. Al ritorno avrete sicuramente molta sete, essendo a Freo vi consiglio di seguire i consigli di Rob. Oltre a Little Creatures e [...] [...]
Thanks to Augusta Margaret River Tourism for the help and support on this portion of our trip. During our first day in the Margaret River area, Merideth and I fell in love with its scenery, beer and food. We regretted … Continue reading → [...]

Imperialism: Black Sheep v Brewdog v Bristol v Buxton v Hardknott v Magic Rock v Mikkeller v Thornbridge
The adjective “imperial” in Imperial Stouts originally referred to export of these dark, high ABV English beers to the Russian Empire and the Baltic countries. However, it also seems an appropriate adjective in terms of its alternative meanings as having supreme authority, or being outstanding in size or quality. This is reflected in the subsequent [...] [...] Read more →

DIY Beer (Marathon) Dinner
