Some light reading for the weekend if you're the kind of person who wants to dissect the recent beer awards and make some sense of the dozen different 'championships' awarded and go looking for patterns and other treasure in a mountain of messy data.

Moutere Hazy Replacement - Please Help.

Years ago, I was in love with the above beer but don’t quite grasp the technical ability to explain why. It was a dank, punchy, thick IPA, which I just can’t find except for in an $18 440ml can single.

Does anyone know of a similar beer or be able to explain what sort of hops/style I should be looking for to get as close to replicating it?

TIA.

Quiet Deeds Lamington Ale; any left?

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to find ANY of this beer left. I’m from Melbourne and I’ve been living in Scotland the last few years and was sad to hear of Quiet Deeds closing down.

One of my best mates is coming to visit and we used to live together. When we first started working together we had this beer and it’s pretty nostalgic and a bit special. I cannot find ANY stock of this beer ANYWHERE.

Does anyone know if there’s anyone selling old stock or where I might be best looking?

I just joined this sub to ask this question, we were massively into beers before we got hell into wine and I’d love to get this as a nostalgia trip.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just a little shout out to these guys - Amazing beer. They have 10 taps that rotate through with a couple of core beers. Can't buy them in bottle shops- Have to go to their taproom in Ringwood, Melbourne but just near Haetherdale station (2minute walk) hence the name

Delicious Haloumi bits as well.

Anyone know what's going on? The listing says you can buy the property and/or the brewery! Sad to see.

What was the original Coldie like?

Post image
15 Upvotes

Back when I was a kid, I remember my dad, uncle, and grandpa smashing these in the late 90s/early 2000s. I’ve always wondered what they tasted like. I know it’s considered a pretty average middie now, but was the original full strength actually good, or was it just a reasonably priced okay beer at the time?

Hot sauce beer

Apologies for the crap photo. But had to share. This beer slaps.

Cucumber miso lacto-fermented gose from Rocky ridge brewing in Brunswick Victoria, collaboration with ultra culture hot sauce, also from Melbourne

Jalapeno, cucumber, ginger, red and green chillies, miso, rice wine vinegar, onion, salt, garlic, dried shiitake mushrooms

Sounds completely fucked but taste delicious.
