Samuel Adams Availability

This beer used to be pretty widely available before the COOF. Does anyone have any insight into why it has not come back into stock in Australia for (from what I can see) almost 5 years?

It used to be my Xmas beer.

I do miss it.

Any insights would be most appreciated.

BuzzCalc - Standard Drink Calculator

I never knew how many standard drinks were in various beers I was drinking on tap so I created a little app for my own use but thought others may enjoy it.

Special occasion recommendations

I’m chasing some recommendations for a stout I could gift my husband for our first wedding anniversary.

He loves stouts and dark beers. I’m completely naive when it comes to this topic! I know he enjoys imperial stouts and chocolate stouts?

I was wanting to get something special that he wouldn’t usually buy himself. Something up to $100.

Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated, thank you!

Best Value Craft Beers

With everything getting more and more expensive I've been on the hunt for good value craft beer, specifically IPAs.

I stumbled across Sydney Brewery East Coast IPA. 4 for $18 or 24 for $78 with an ABV of 7.0%. Is it the best beer I've had? No, but man it packs a punch.

So, fellow beer lovers, what other bargains are there currently on the market?

Is there an Australian made, German style, wheat beer?

I don't like buying imported anything, but I want that full on Barbarian style wheat beer (that Australians generally hate).

Sydney Monopoly board pub crawl

I've heard that there's a pub crawl based upon the Sydney edition of Monopoly bit can't seem to find details of it anywhere. Has anyone done this, and if so can you share the route? Thanks

Arcade made suggestions

Hi beer guys, so I’ve had arcade made - by brew dogs, and it was just one of the greatest beers I’ve ever had. Can anyone recommend me a similar beer as currently it unavailable. Thanks in advance

Anyone know the caloric content of VB Low Carb 33% Less?

Sorry to ask but I have been researching it for the past 10 minutes and can't find an answer. I am trying to cut down on liquid calories and I enjoy the taste of VB so I am going with that. The caloric content doesn't matter too much but I would like to know out of curiosity.

Also any suggestions for Lower Calorie beers in the future? I have tried Better Beer and enjoyed it. What are some others?

How to dip my foot into making craft beer?

Gday fellas I’ve always wanted to get into crafting my own beer and since life’s been a bit rough lately I thought I could do with a decent hobby. Problem is there’s about a billion different guides/opinions online about the best way to go about it and am really unsure of how/where to start. Any resources or sites for complete beginners? Nsw if that makes any difference.

Question about Guinness inconsistency

Last week my local shop got in some Guinness. The cans were held together with the four soft rubber rings around the waist. They were extremely rich in flavour like coffee, thick and really tasty. I go back the other day and get another four pack they have the hard black plastic caps holding the cans together on the top. They tasted acidic and more watered down. As far as I recall both of them were from Ireland, any ideas what’s going on? is it just a case of batch being older?

355ml cans.

I've noticed 355ml cans seem to becoming slightly more popular, does any one know why a brewery would pick 355ml over the more traditional 375ml?

Annoying they don't sit in my yeti cooler as well.

No more Fullers in Aus?

While I was not paying attention, it seems Fullers has ceased export to Australia.

Can anyone confirm? Is there absolutely no Fullers coming into Australia?

I've only ever had one Vintage Ale and I have to say it was one of the most memorable beers I've had.

Deeds alternative

So, my favourite beer around is the juice train from Deeds. Now that I’m rapidly running out of my final stock, does anyone have any suggestions on a beer that is similar?

Beer reco

Hey gang. I’m usually a lager man. But looking for recommendations of something With a hint more of a refreshing taste. But nothing too fruit crazy. Like I’m going from sparkling water to sparkling water with lime. Not full blown soft drink ya know? As a sort of guide. Generic Stone and wood is probably absolute as fruity as I’d go. Cheers!
