Such a great way to create a limited release, take one of your already successful beers and just double everything. Double the malt, the hops and the alcohol content. The @woolshedbrewery Double Destructor was pouring last night at @thefranklinhotel alongside @3ravensbrewery Juicy, which was delicious and @madhatterbrewing Tzatziki Sour, which was quite sour but also great. The Double Destructor was perfectly balanced and tasted like a bigger version of their single IPA, just a tad sweeter.

NEW BEER LABEL. @kennybrewing is a new SA beer company that is launching with a Session Ale. The guy behind the label is Adelaide Crows player Rory Atkins. A solid start into the industry with a light, easy drinking fruit bomb. Super low bitterness, a mild sweet finish and a touch of juicy hop flavours. After a hard slog on the paddock, smashing back a few of these would set the hydration levels in the right direction. It was great to meet Rory today and cheers for giving me the samples.

Funny story, just yesterday I found a Aus Post card in my letter box saying that the postie had left two packages in my meter box, 6 days ago. One of those packages was #beermail from @eastsydneybrewing. Lucky we have had super cold weather. In the package was their pale ale. A super easy drinking, light and floral beer with citrus hop flavours and a super easy bitterness. Cheers for sending be samples. 🍻

The Claw is back. A highly hopped black IPA with a great mix of roast and citrusy hop characters. @thewheaty will soon be able to make even more beer with the introduction of Fermentation Alley, a new shed that creates more tank space out the back of the hotel. This week they punched through the wall of their brewery, so it won’t be long now until this project is up and running.

There seems to be a new brewing company popping up every month in South Australia. @thug_life_brewing are a new label that has started with three beers, brewing via contract. A ginger beer, a blonde and this one, a NEIPA make up the first offerings. It’s not as hazy as most NEIPAs but it is clean and there is some great hop aroma. The bitterness is low and the hop flavours are very solid as well. A great first start.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the @coopersbrewery 2018 Vintage launch last night. This year’s version uses a Westminster malt, alongside some crystal, a French hop: Aramis and Coopers signature ale yeast. I now have 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2018 in my collection.
