Coopers Clear

You may have noticed like I did, a new addition to your local bottle shop, Coopers Clear.  It comes in an aptly chosen 355ml clear glass bottle, with gold and blue labelling.  It was officially launched on the 21st January, so if you haven’t seen it already expect to shortly.

Coopers have joined the current ‘low [...]

Pilsner Urquell

‘The Original Pilsner’ or so the bottle says. Pilsner Urquell is brewed and bottled in the Czech Republic in a city called Pilsen also known as Plzeň. One is likely to think that a ‘Pilsner’ brewed in a city call ‘Pilsen’ would make for a great beer? Well guess what, it does.

First [...]

My Wife’s Bitter

Another year over, a new one has just begun and what better way to start 2010 than with a review of a limited edition brew.  My Wife’s bitter is proudly produced by the Burleigh Brewing Company which also makes Duke European-Style Premium Lager which I enjoyed and reviewed here.  Burleigh Brew Master Brennan Fielding named [...]

Barons Lager

Why is it that only up until now I’ve never heard of Barons Brewing? Well actually that’s not entirely the case, cause if you look below you’ll see the current brands that Barons Brewing lovingly create and I know that I’ve definitely tried one or two of them or maybe more.

From what started [...]

5 Seeds Cider

Britain is the home of cider, the ancient drink which is essentially beer made out of fermented apple juice presenting a perfect balance of fruit and sugars to decant a delicious clean, crisp refreshing alternative to beer. Apart from being an alternative to beer, cider offers drinkers some health benefits, as it is high [...]

VB Raw Dry Lager

Well basically this is Victoria Bitter’s first attempt at penetrating the low carbohydrate market and frankly it’s a poor one at that.  I understand that VB have a hard reputation to lift but this new lager simply doesn’t cut it and here’s why.

Hearing the news of a new low-carb lager I honestly thought that VB [...]

Duke European-Style Premium Lager

I came across this Australian made brew purely by accident one night on the town after visiting the Sky Room in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.  As I approached the bar I soon realised that the majority of my well known and regular ‘night out’ brews were nonexistent.  Quickly assessing my surroundings I noticed the blue label [...]

Dos Equis XX

From the outset, this beer is intriguing. It is a beer that I have oftentimes thought quirky as I have seen it in the shop, but overlooked. I’m glad I gave it a chance, and I think you will be too.

This Mexican beer, brewed by the Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery (1890), has an interesting history. Pronounced [...]

Steinlager Pure

Another recent addition to hit the shelves of liquor retailers here in Queensland is Steinlager Pure, or so I thought. Lion Nathan who owns the brand say on their website that this beer was launched in 2007, so I’m confused as to why only in recent months it appears to be making a debut [...]

Redoak Organic Pale Ale

It’s about I did a new beer review and what better way to start off my 2009 reviews than with a local brew, such as the Redoak Organic Pale Ale.

Redoak specialise in premium boutique beers and are claimed to be ‘Australia’s most awarded brewery’. They are based in Sydney where they have their [...]
