James Squire - Broken Shackles lager...thank **** I people are finally making lager that tastes like lager...in other news I would give my left nut for a case of Swan Draught long necks if anyone needs another ball
On the James Squire Broken Shackles. The local bottle-o had em on special and I thought, these are the ones Tux mentioned, why not give em a crack... the first one's sliding down the old gullet quite quickly.
Verdict: A top drop. Tux knows his boards and his beers.

Revising my glowing review of Broken Shackles. Have decided that, like the lovely James Squire Pale Ale, they are great for a couple of heart starters, but not so great for grazing on through the night. so, yeah, have a couple then change up.
Thanks for the tip re Biggie Juice, Chrispy.. have now read up on it :
www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_880430/feral-brewing-co-biggie-juice-east-coast-ipa-375ml
and can suddenly imagine being 20 again and waking up with a force 9 hangover wondering where I am, where my car is, what the big lump under the doona next to me may be, and trying to remember who i need to apologise to first.
Gave cobras smithys recommendation a run.
Good drinkable beer for a great price.
The broken shackles is really good too.

I can smash a few jimmy's pale ale....all night ,the others are as you described ...
Some great craft beers like the biggies around...I wish I did end up with your effects after a few...but I am sure the Hungarian blood needs pure ethanol before that will ever happen ....hence why I enjoy a few different ones now,instead of a 100
Got an American Pale (sipping one right now), a Pacific ale and a Hazy Pale made with fresh cascade hops, all on tap at the moment.
Got a keg of wheat beer and a second keg of the hazy cascade pale in the back up fridge.
Fresh hops, as opposed to dried pellets etc, is simply unbeatable.
And a fermenter full of English-style IPA awaiting a spare keg - I better get drinking.
I also have a bottle of lactic acid to sour any and all beers, so can consider my current range of beers doubled. In my recent experience, a bit of souring never hurts any beer. Not quite the same as brewing with lactobacillus, but the end result is more than acceptable.
For those that haven't tried sour beers, give one a shot on a nice hot day..... I love 'em, but I try to avoid the real fruity ones - tastes more like a cider.
Bought a 6 pack of Stone & Wood Cloud Catcher along with my usual case of Coopers Pale ale and gees they went down well, will suss out case price next time.First one had that slightly sweet taste then a real hoppie after taste then just got better and better 5% alc

I don't mind the Cloud Catcher but the Pacific Ale is my favourite about $80 a cartoon
The S&W Pacific is such a hard beer to beat. It's simply soooo good.
The Balter XPA, to my taste buds, is similar yet better.... but the cost is a touch harder to justify. Although, it's a bit cheaper these days.
My understanding is that Balter nabbed the brewer responsible for the S&W Pacific, hence why the XPA is like the S&W Pac Ale v2

Damn that's steep, although after the cloud catcher i will definitely give the Pacific Ale a try and maybe lash out now and then between home brews seeing as Im saving money when i get around to brewing a batch.you need to put another home brew on within 2 weeks of tucking in to the previous or ya get caught out and have to visit Uncle Dan.
A few Stone and Wood with a few mates
Geez that looks like a good way to spend the afternoon
Coopers Best Extra Stout (Long neck).. 3.7 standard drinks (burp). I don't normally drink mid week, but there is not much wind here and the beaches are weedy (not that I can get out of work anyway to go for a sail), and so went of a blat in the hills on my KTM after work, and then I stopped at the bottlo, and I've just finished making a curry (about to eat it). You know how these things plays out. It's like the Swiss cheese model.
Bugger, I'm in the wrong forum too LOL.

Had a look for the Broken Shakles & Stone & Wood yesterday. But aren't available at my local. JS make some nice beers, the Chancer is really nice out of the keg, like pretty much all their beers. But I don't like how they sell mini size ml stubbies at a premium price.
So I always seem to end up back on the good old Coopers Pale Ales. Loving their limited edition 440ml cans at $52 atm, fills ya pint glass to the brim & you gotta knock the remaining mouthful off outa the can
Enjoying Coopers Mild for an afterwork beer - can have 4 or 5 of them and still be legal to drive.
Sparkling when things get relaxed later
Same beer I've drunk since my early 20's, Tooheys Old.
Tooheys old on tap is magnificent
Sorry guys nozza is correct, clearly he knows his beers. If you would like to know more about your beers check out oliver and geoff's home brew and beer plenty of info and reviews on there. If you want to know more about your beers without reading, drink the following but be warned nothing else will ever come close, ever
Looks a lot like Leffe Dark, my second favourite beer, that I only seem to drink at Ritzy's in Merimbula.
It packs a punch at 8.5%

Nice, the chimmay is normally at dan murphy 9% so a tally is good, pretty dear though - maybe for special occasions - just looked on dan murphy site lots of good reviews of it on there also - you're welcome
Brewed in Cowes Philip Island. Do I call it penguin piss. LOL
Not bad with tropical hops paired with a super clean malt profile for a suitable beer when your hot and wet in the jungle
Who writes this **** it's ****ing alcohol. Can I get a job to write ****e without getting sued.
Probably not.

Their Golden Ale(I think it is called) is spectacular for a midstrength
