Brewery: Five Barrel Brewing in Wollongong, NSW Style: IPA/NEIPA ABV: 6% IBUs: 20 RateBeer: No rating yet Pour: Creamy yellow colour with a milky white head My milkshake brings all the boys to the bar/you’re damn right/it’s better than yours.

Subtle carbonation and very, very … Continue reading Five Barrel Brewing – Milkshake IPA
Crawls are generally walkable. Kept to a maximum of 7 locations. Where the distance to the next location is greater than 15min, I’d suggest taking a roadie or uber/cab.
The great thing about Australia’s growth in to the craft beer scene is there are more and more places putting on great beer to drink. Most places will have at least some alternative to Tooheys, VB, Carlton and XXXX. Sydney houses some great craft beer bars but where the aforementioned beer is frowned upon. This pub crawl will cover some of the city’s finest, which will you see you crawl around the CBD and see all the fabulous sights that Sydney has to offer – from the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Darling Harbour and The Rocks. This is a great sightseeing, craft beer pub crawl.
Pub List: Pumphouse Hotel Sweeney’s The SG Harts Pub Lord Nelson Brewery * 15min to next pub – uber it Beer Deluxe All Hands Brewhouse (formerly King St Brewhouse)

Brewery: Deep Creek Brewing in Auckland NZ Style: India Brown Ale ABV: 6.8% IBUs: 60 RateBeer: 93/100 Pour: Deep liquorice colour with a slight tan head on pour. This looks and tastes more like a black IPA than a IBA. Roasted grain flavours with piney hops. It’s is quite sharp and forceful on the tongue with a sticky residue aftertaste. I can’t imagine too many Gringos drinking this one but IPA … Continue reading Deep Creek Brewing – Dusty Gringo
Good meeting spot for after work beers. All the standard range on tap plus exclusive beers. On my trip I had the Capt’n Steamo, a Californian Common Ale. Decent menu of share plate, burgers, pizza, salads and cuts of beef. Little live music stage and a casual atmosphere on the shores of the Brisbane River. Worth a trip if nothing else.

Brewery: Ahornberger Landbrauerei Strößner-Bräu in Bavaria, Germany Style: Landbier/Keller ABV: 4.8% RateBeer: 24/100 Pour: Light golden colour with a thin head.
