Nathan in Beer & Food
30th Jan ’12I’ve managed to find fifteen minutes to myself to post up what is probably my favourite BBQ brined chicken recipe. The secret is to soak the chicken in a brine solution overnight. Depending on what recipes you read some will … Continue reading →
Home-made Belgian Candi Sugar »
Nathan in Homebrew
13th Dec ’11I first learnt about making my own candi sugar in 2008 and since then I've made kilos of it for use in my home brew. Often I talk to fellow brewers and they complain that it can be hard to source. Don't bother, if its not readily available, make it yourself. Continue reading →
Beeraholix, thanks for the memories »
Nathan in Misc Chat
09th Dec ’11In 2009 a new website appeared that for some was a blessing, others like myself at the time thought it was a god-send due to its unbiased and public nature. I am talking about Beeraholix.
Unfortunately as of the start of the month, yes I know I'm a little slow in the news, Doc decided to shut down his creation due to a lack of time on his behalf. Continue reading →

5 Things I Learned from GABS 2012 »
Sam Fletcher in Events
17th May ’12The festival that was the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular is over – the kegs are stowed away, the Royal Exhibition Building’s doors are closed and I am back in an office in Sydney, wishing I were still out drinking in a giant echoing beer hall. Partly to give thanks to Steve, Guy and all those involved who poured so much effort into GABS, but mostly to exorcise my disappointment at being stuck up north for the rest of Good Beer Week, I thought I’d share with you five key take-outs that I learned during the largest beer festival ever seen…

My Wife's Bitter
My Wife's Bitter by Burleigh Brewing Co. is an English style bitter. Its head, when poured at correct temperature was quite thick and bubbly. However the head dissipated quite quickly leaving none. The body is dark amber, a bit darker than ginger ale. The aroma is quite sharp when served at a warmer temperature. My Wife's Bitter has a nice flavour to it. A toffee flavour came across throughout the beer and contains an…

Voodoo Bacon Maple Ale
Has to be tasted after smelling the fantastic aroma. Not like any smoke beer. Did the fatal mistake of opening a bottle when there were a few people around. Not much left after everyone tried some. Had to guard the bottle with my life.

Voodoo Bacon Maple Ale
The aroma is a strong smoke smell which leed's you to thing this will be a normal Smoke beer. How untrue.
The Taste is not as overwhelming as the aroma suggests. The Maple syrup takes away that real hard bacon taste and leaves only a hint of smoke.
Do not open a bottle if there are many around because there will be none left by the time you get the bottle back.

Elemental
When I bought this bottle I was drawn to the brand having heard very good things about Renaissance and having enjoyed Stonecutter recently (which I really enjoyed) I expected good things, so it was some hesitation that I poured, just in case it wasn't as good as I'd set it up to be in my mind.
I cannot believe how misplaced my fear was. This beer, Elemental, is perfection bottled! The flavours…

Hell
Hell is a bit of a mixed bag if I'm honest.
I've really enjoyed many other 3 Raven beers in the past and when I bought this home I had hoped that this would meet the expectations I had in my mind. Unfortunately it hasnt quite hit the mark.
Hell pours a dark murky brown and you half expect to see a sludgy yeast at the bottom of the bottle, or indeed…
