Comment on Episode 82 – Pucker up, sour puss. by TheBeerMen

It’s surprising but sours are anything but predictable. There are so many varieties of wild yeasties I think it’s an adventure trying to test them all out. I love a lot of them but some of them require some brewing mastery to pull off a tasty brew. It doesn’t always work out.

I think you need to have grown up treating pumpkin as a dessert. Our brains were hoping for gravy, crackling and salt. Maybe a salted, pumpkin rauchbier would be the go?

I’m not getting into an argument but. Yes its brewed some where else. What else are they doing? Currently commissioning a 35HL DME brewery with 105HL fermentation vessels in McLaren Vale with an investment of over $1m. Production will commence in May. Which has been under construction for some time. So it won’t be brewed some where else for ever, nor do they intend it to.

Hi. We’re aware the beer is currently brewed at AIB here in NSW. Unlike some contract brews though they do actually have a brewer who spends time at the facility. They’re still very much a South Australian company so although we should have mentioned this in the episode we’re happy not to be too critical. It IS a nice beer.

Thanks for challenging this though. You’ve got a valid point regardless!

Comment on Episode 52 – Cool or fool? – Beer in clear glass by TheBeerMen

TheBeerMen — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 22:41:14 +0000

It’s UV radiation that will slowly cause degradation in the beer, so even a lonely bottle or six-pack sitting in a shelf in a bottle shop somewhere can be susceptible. I’m always careful with how I store my beer but the same can’t be said for those that have handled it before it reaches me. Clear glass doesn’t help the matter at all! So at least the majority of brewers are doing their bit to help prevent unnecessary damage by using the coloured glass to filter out the frequencies of light that cause the damage. Cheers to better, undamaged beer & thanks for watching!

Oh yes…I believe there really needs to be a national standardisation of beer glass sizes! Let’s get RID of all stupid various sizes for draught beer…PLEASE! I want to be able to go anywhere in Australia and just ask for a “pot” or a “pint”. POT & PINT is all we need, people!

That said…the various specialty glasses used for creaft beer (tulip stem glass, snifters and all that) are important for the more interesting high end beers.

Most Aussies wouldn’t drink Fosters but in the UK it is one of the most popular beers on the market. Having had a few can of this recently I think supermarkets and bottle shops should be giving out the same warnings.

A South African mate came around the other weekend with a 6 pack of Carling Black label spouting its virtues of being the most popular beer sold in South Africa. First one was partly warm so I decided to give it a 2nd chance with a colder stubby after the first was cold crisp but seemed to have a slightly out of place sweet corn twang. Needless to say i won’t be seeking it out to drink again!

I dig the show, guys.

I completely agree that the common pub fodder is utter swill, however, you might have pointed out cheap beers use adjuncts like rice that cause that thin/watery mouth feel and that rob the brew of flavours.

Would love more in the way of detail on types of malts, hops, water, yeast, and adjuncts used. Brewing techniques are bloody interesting, too.

Love the fun nature of the show and look forward to you guys taking it to the next level.

Kanpai!

We totally agree! It certainly was a beer that could have a place with the right food if you’re a chili lover but on its own it can do a lot of damage to unsuspecting tastebuds.

Gents,
having just been to the Sunshine Coast Brewery I must say I enjoyed your reactions. After having a chat with Greg and taking home some of his Chilli Beer to try (without sampling first) I too was taken aback by the heat generated from an innocent enough bottle. Its certainly not easy drinking but would be good for a genuine chilli lover and does have an extreme coolness factor.
I shared 2 bottles of it with my peers at a beer tasting I organised this weekend past and watching the reactions was priceless!

Please try to include the Sunshine Coast Rauch Bier in a show at some point as it is certainly an example of style worth tasting.

Cheers to better beer.
Ian

Too many brewers think all they have to do is (over)load the hops and it’s suddenly a great beer; I don’t care how much more it costs you to brew with extra hops—if you blow out every other note with blasts of hoppiness, I think you might as well be drinking paint thinner.

I’m with you there, guys! Since beer is just so essential to a good sports watching session or for a long day of enjoying good music at a festival…this is a far too common predicament…with the beer choices pretty much always being appalling! So my fallback solution is to at least try and stick with the Aussie product. If I have to drink cr@p beer (for the sake of tradition and enjoyment…maybe?)…my answer is to at least go with the Australian owned beer…where the brewer has an Aussie parent company. So thank goodness Fosters and Coopers still have their Australian foundation.

Also, having Fosters as the strongest force in Victorian sports events…now days they are starting to push a bit of the Matilda Bay range into events. So…it’s a start, which will hopefully create a change in trends…and a demand for real microbrews to grow. Hopefully.

Took a group of workmates to Hart’s and we LOVED the craft beer, the atmosphere and the fab food. We are all heading back!

Just had my first experience at Harts Pub a couple of weeks back – with their great range I’ll be definitely back for more! Keep up the good work guys!

I think there should be new sport – extreme brewing! Cool theme and well done for taking on the challenge guys. That’s what I call taking a hit for the team.

Episode 27 Best beer pubs (Harts Pub) BeermenTV…

With the recent metamorphosis of a classic Sydney pub in The Rocks precinct into a craft beer haven, we couldn’t turn down the opportunity to drop into Harts pub and showcase 12 taps of tastyness….

We’re up for the challenge! We’ll just have to lock in a time to head to beautiful Nelson Bay again. It’s a good opportunity to re-fill my growlers as well.

Episode 23 Hopping mad (BeermenTV)…

Damien has gained a bit of a reputation for being a hop wimp, so Mark and Todd took it upon themselves to help overcome his fears and expand his palate with some beers that bite. Time for some humulus lupulus crazyness!…

Great Ep guys. Kudos to Damien for eating the Chinook flower. If you were able to smoke at Harts he could have smoked it ;P

Now that was fun! Thank you Damien for being a test subject. I can still kick your bum on handeling the hops but you’re a good sport. You may win, though, if we test (girly) fruit beers.

I’m also ecstatic that I can watch your episodes on my iPhone!

I think Damo is still digesting that hop, last I heard.

Yeah I quite like James Squire despite its owners. Golden Ale is the best inflight available (QANTAS) beer that I know of.

Episode 21 Pigs can fly (beermen.tv)…

We didn’t think pigs could fly. Then again, we didn’t think you could make bacon beer and we were wrong on that one too. This time we sample two beers from The Bowral Brewing Company; their Pigs Fly pilsner and pale ale. What’s that squeeing noise over…

Episode 20: The penguin has landed! (BeermenTV)…

You’d be aware of the destruction a nuclear explosion will cause but what about a nuclear penguin? Don’t be fooled by the cute black and white exterior. Before confronting Tactical Nuclear Penguin from the mad scientists at BrewDog, we knew we had to t…

Sol is sold in more UK (well London anyway) bars than Corona. I go the Sol..

Cool, didn’t realise that beermen.tv episodes were iPhone compatible. I’d go for the Sol personally.

Comment on Episode 16 – How low can you go? by The Beer Wench

The Beer Wench — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:30:40 +0000

My sentiments exactly. Saying that a “low carb” beer is brewed with out compromise is ludicrous! 99.9% of said “low carb” beers are brewed with adjuncts and extracts — which essentially does not qualify them as “true” beers.

Here is my recipe for a low carb beer:

*10 ounces soda water
*2 ounces vodka
*1 drop of corn extract
*1 drop of wheat extract
*1 drop of rice extract
*1 drop of stale hop extract

Stir. Serve with a lime.

The episode was rather entertaining! Cheers, Beer Men

Episode 19 Mexicans (beermen.tv)…

Often a much maligned category of beer, the easy drinking Mexican-style beers and their characteristic yellow hue are exactly that – easy drinking. In this episode of Beermen.TV we’re looking for the better beer amongst three of a kind….
