After 7 brothers, there had to be more numbers. 3 Fourpures.
Easy Peeler. A citrus IPA. Nice (but save the jazz till the end).
Hitchhiker. A peach IPA. Barman was at pains to tell me that it wasn't flavouring, it was peach pulp. It smelled and tasted of peach and went astonishingly well in the beer. I think Fourpure have dialled in a basic IPA and play around with adding things. In this case, the peach flavouring was dry enough not to make it a peach shandy.
Followed by a Chai Milkshake. A similar underlying IPA with strong cinnamon and cloves. Add just a hint of chilli.... About half way in I started getting the taste of banana. Bonkers works sometimes!
More numbers, because I've now got a spreadsheet that's up to date: 115 2/3 new beers in pints and 2 1/3rd Europints.

I went to a 7 Brothers tasting via Groupon. Lovely way to spend an afternoon
Anyhoo...I'm first for Saturday beer posting on account of being 8.5 hours ahead.
Adelaide is craft beer tastic although pricing is a bit eye watering. Kings Arms Hotel that only does South Australian stuff. Had the DIPA (good but fairly standard). Coffee stout is really excellent

Hard ride today so popped into the local bottle shop and got a four pack of Fox Hat Metric IPA. 7%
It's good, but not great. Has all the forward hops but it just isn't quite bitter enough for me. No probs, plenty more to choose from next time

They have a "crowler" machine in the bar that used to be Eddie McGrath's bicycle shop. It's a bartop thingy that seals cans so you can have a carry out. They say it lasts up to five days in the can do on Friday I bought one (950ml) to take to the BBQ yesterday. The beer was ruined; still drinkable but not the zingy refreshing gooseberry IPA that went in but something duller and altogether disappointing. The fruit had gone and everything was muted.
Won't be doing that again

Anyhow...
A Twickenham brewery Honey Dark Mild. I've said it before: there's not enough mild in this world. Honey, tick. Dark, tick. Mild, a bit too hoppy at the end for your average mild, but a tick anyway. A good journey beer, moved across the palate very deftly.
A Redemption Trinity, a light ale, flavoursome for its 3% ABV. Floral at the front, crafty in the middle, and bitter. A good beer but I wondered what weather it would be good for. Probably too much of a tangy bitterness for a really hot day but too thin for a cold one.
A Dow Bridge Acris. Big, almost vinegary, bang in the middle but no aftertaste. It left me feeling like it was an unfinished journey. Can't like them all....
