Stef Collins - Australia Hops are Ruining Beer: Discuss
A friend sent me this article during the week and truth be told, it echoes a little with a few things that have been swirling around in the back of my brain recently. It actually started at a wedding I attended back in March where I was lamenting the lack of something interesting to drink. The food was amazing, as was the location, but not being a huge Lager drinker the choice between full strength Lager and light Lager wasn’t really ticking me over... more info

Sir Kingsley Amis on Beer
Sir Kingsley Amis penned more than 20 novels, six books of poetry, a memoir, a number of short stories, several scripts for radio and television and ‘works of social and literary criticism.’  He was nominated for the Booker Prize three times and won it once, and was later made a Knight of the British Empire.  The Times rated Amis as one of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945... more info

Recipe: HEFEWEIZEN/SUMMER ALE

A recipe that I have recently done is a Summer Ale/Hefeweizen Beer. What I mean by that is that this recipe is great to make one double batch of wort then use two different yeasts to ferment the wort. This makes two very different beers on the same brew day… read more

See below past articles on beer excise tax in Australia and around the world, highlighting the need for reform to become a volumetric excise tax system, with rebates up to $300,000 per year not $30,000 when the OECD33 average for excise tax rebates is $1 million!

THE FRIDGE: RED HILL BREWERY (VIC) SCOTCH ALE

All that toffee, and the hint of darker malts, has a definite whisky note that may be subliminal, but is certainly appropriate. So true to style that the desire to talk like Sean Connery is almost irresistible... read more

 
Stef Collins - Australia
So, I’ve been like a kid in a candy store recently. Doing what you might ask? Well, I am faced with the exceptionally difficult task of deciding just what I’m going to drink and in what order at GABS. It is a serious issue my friends and one that I have to give a lot of thought to. After all I heard plenty of stories about last year – much to my chagrin I missed out – from people who didn’t plan their day, ended up smashing pints and generally lost all control. more info
