It was wonderful to share time and beers with friends on Saturday. We did a 2x 6x beer paddle blind tasting - one with Aussie BA Non-adjuncted stouts, and the other with Aussie adjuncted stouts. Overall, Deeds Once More Into The Fray b4 (2023) was the clear winner across both paddles, with 6x of the 10x scorers ranking it as the best beer - which is absolutely overwhelming when you consider no-one knew what the beers were.

Joshua Severn generously brought the full 6x beer Side Project Double Barrel Vanilla Stout set for everyone to share - these were also served on paddles. The 12 Candles was by some distance the fan favourite, but all were marvellous.

We had 2x first timers to Tony's Taphouse - Ale (.alessandrol and Benny Mack () - both of whom brought beers local to their homes in Northern Italy and Adelaide respectively.

Thanks to all who came along and shared their time and energy with us

We held a fun beer night at Tony's Taphouse on Fri night. It went late - I got to bed at 0530!

We did a simultaneous double paddle Belgian Dark Ale (Quadrupel) blind tasting, with the first 6x beer paddle having European Quads, and the second having USA Quads.

Westvleteren XII (2022) was the winner from the European paddle, and Incendiary's Dragon with Matches - Fig BA (2023) the USA paddle winner. The Incendiary was the overall winner, with Anchorage The Void (2024) and Firestone Walker Whistle Monkey (2022) coming second and third respectively. I love blind tastings, as they always remind me just how little I know about beer!!

Thanks to Delia for the delicious food, to Mike Jardine for hosting the blind tasting, to our friends for coming along, and to the brewers for making great beers.

Cheers Folks 😀

A bit of a change in the bar. The TV has gone because we never use it, and has been replaced with bourbons and ryes that we hope to use more.

At least we can see what we have now 😀

Our last VIP membership delivery from . 7 years of membership comes to an end, as we have 200-odd Revs stacked up in the cellar, and it's time to actually reduce the numbers.

To those who have, or are, accessing the other two of our three memberships, apologies for turning off this tap.

It has been fun.

10x barrel aged stouts, and 1x lonely barrel aged barley wine, brewed by either Side Project or Phase Three, arrived into the Cellar today. Some of their friends from Phase Three, Toppling Goliath, and a few others, are due in next week.

Be cool and drink some beers folks 😀

A couple of BA beers to welcome me back to Sydney. The Phase Three was brilliant and the Eighth State a dud.
