Lovely Valley Beverage Factory

The good, the bad and the ugly of commercial beer and breweries, including microbreweries and craft breweries.

Lovely Valley Beverage Factory

Dropped in on Sunday on the way home from a weekend of camping down at Deep Creek. Mate of mine has been there a few times and wanted to stop in for a tasting and to grab some beer. I reluctantly agreed as i knew it was an extract micro.

Tasted their Creamy Stout and Irish Stout - having had the export Guinness on Saturday night followed by my AG version so it was fresh in our minds.

The irish stout tasted like someone had stirred a spoonful of vegemite into a glass of West End. :shock:

The creamy stout wasnt much better.

I wasnt game to taste anything else. The 'brewer' is a retired bloke who clearly has no tastebuds.

Got home and washed my mouth out with a few pints of my irish stout on tap.
