I'm worried by this, steam ale is one of my favourite drops at the moment. Mind you, if I could find some more Asahi dry stout I'd be pretty happy too.

I went to that 3 years ago. It's very good.

Make sure you attend a few of the presentations.

Anybody had a La Sirene from Melbourne? It'd have to be one of the best Belgian-style brews in Australia, if not the best. The brewer's doing "Meet the Maker" session at 1 Penny Red in Summer Hill on Wednesday, 28 October. Details here:

PS. Tip the tall waiter.

I'll grab one of those La Sirene saisons from time to time... a most excellent non-European saison.

A very nice drop..............

Need to find time to check out the restaurant they run.

I have been fairly critical of the big Brewers "craft" offerings. But credit where it's due, the James Squire Hop Thief American Pale Ale #7 deserves some credit.

They've dry hopped it with Mosaic and Galaxy hops. On a hot day the fruit from the Galaxy hops is spot on.

UK craft beer: taking over the world one pint at a time

Anyone tried 'Pirate Life' range of beers from South Australia? They have a mid, pale ale and IIPA, all come in cans.

The pale ale is a perfect summer beer, very easy drinking, although I would stay clear of the mid, it tastes a bit too watered down. I believe they have also just made a collaboration beer with The Hilltop Hoods, if you're into that kind of thing.

a collaboration beer with The Hilltop Hoods

Intriguing. Whilst I'm probably not in the typical demographic for the Hilltop Hoods, I actually don't mind the (admittedly) little I have heard. I blame this on 2KY's limited exposure of music on Saturday afternoons.

But this collaboration thing is something I think we need to see more of. I'm looking forward to seeing a collaboration between Monteiths DoppelBock and Paul Thorn. I suspect I may be waiting a while but it'll be worth the wait.

Do you suffer from nosebleeds?

There'll be 10 taps in the new Dyslexia Bar they're adding.
