Micro Beer Club

Am very excited today about a fortnight back, i thought i would give joining a beer club a try. The concept is simple you pay $49.95 a month + postage ($15 for Sydney) and they will send you a different mix of 12 Australian beers a month. Sure it would be cheaper just to head to you nearest Dan Murphy’s or similar and pick up a handful of beers, but i decided it was worth the extra cash as even the larger bottle shops don’t tend to stock nearly enough good brews from the smaller Australian breweries for my liking.
Yesterday my first package arrived and i must say i am pretty impressed though a bit upset i haven’t had a chance to try any yet.

Included in the May tasting pack was the following brews:

• Firefly 4.5% (NSW – Fusion Brewing)
• Beechworth Australian Ale 4.4% (VIC – Bridge Road Brewers)
• Gage Roads London Best 4.4% (WA Gage Roads Brewery)
• Seeing Double 8.0.% (SA Brew Boys)
• Holgate E.S.B 5.0.% (VIC Holgate Brewhouse)
• McLaren Vale Ale 4.5% (SA McLaren Brewing Company)

All appear to be top notch beers, the odd one in the bunch would have to be the Seeing Double. At 8% it not only packs a monster punch, but is made with peated malted and is intended to be drunk at cellar temperature (above 15 degrees) so no fridge action!
