There’s a special location in my heart for beer.
I reckon even if my heart was ripped out like in that Indiana Jones film the temple of Doom, there’d still be a bit bit left inside thumping away as well as it’d have a beer label on it.
I like trying all kinds of beer as well as now that Australia is well as well as genuinely on the craft beer wagon, things are getting extremely exciting. I can’t believe of anything much better than going directly to the source as well as checking out breweries as well as discovering about exactly how they make their beer.
You likewise get to try a few of it, which makes going there even much better still!
Whilst up in Queensland recently, I paid a go to to Burleigh Brewing Company.
This bit craft brewery, tucked away in Burleigh heads – just outside Surfers Paradise, not only enables guided excursions of it facility, it encourages people to try the beers too. You even get to speak to the brewmaster about what’s going on.
The beers they make right here at Burleigh Brewing Co are as follows:
Black Giraffe black coffee lager, Fig Jam IPA India pale Ale, the fight it out Helles European lager, Hef wheat beer, My Wife’s Bitter standard English bitter, the fight it out premium European pilsner, Bighead low carb as well as 28 pale Ale ’70s style American pale ale.
Black Giraffe, together with Hassel Hop as well as Fanny Gertude’s Bickie Beer, are limited release beers. All the others are right here all year round.
I won’t go into detail about each beer (though I want to) however each of them is extremely different from the others. Dark beers, light beers, malty, chocolaty, coffee hints, creamy vanilla… all delicious.
My favourite, as well as not just since it’s got a funny name, is My Wife’s Bitter. This beer was in truth made by owner Brennan Fielding for his spouse Peta. It was she who came up with the brilliant name for a rather brilliant beer.
Made in the style of a standard English bitter, My Wife’s Bitter is full of malt as well as caramel with a well-balanced bitterness at the end. It’s a fantastic beer.
The excursion of the brewery is well worth a look. You get to look back stage at the workings of the brewery. We likewise got to see the warehouse, where all the beer prepared to be shipped is kept – it’s a wondrous sight indeed.
