Ya.... need one of them in Briz. It was tough going from Seattle to Brisbane. In Seattle, even the megaswill taverns have at least 3 decent microbrews on tap. Should I win Powerball, I'll buy the Union Jack and put some good beer on tap.
It was a shame to see the Hop Thief and Alpha Ale go off tap but I did enjoy the Coopers 08, not so much the Duke though. Nothing really against the Duke, I just don't think it compares to everything else on the tap.
I finally had my weekend in Brisbane the other day and managed to convince my whole group to join me at Platform.
Amazing.
I loved it! What a great venue it is! The staff were excellent and the selection of beers was brilliant. First time I've had Coopers Vintage on tap. The '08 tasted much nicer than the bottles of '07 and '06 I've had. Not sure if that is because it was on tap or because '08 is just a better beer.
Tried something from almost every tap, plus a bottle or two out of the fridge.
Very very happy with the experience. Wish we had something similar down near Newcastle!
Thanks guys for bringing the joint to my attention.
I got in there this afternoon and enjoyed the darks, Dunkel, Dopplebock, & Stout! Had a pint of Stone & Wood at Pig n Whistle as a primer. A good Saturday with beer !
Haven't been in there for a few days but I beleive the brewer from Matilda Bay is going to be providing samples of new beers for only $15 from 5.30pm today. I can't make it but it should be awesome
Was there Saturday afternoon and the list went back to being rather ordinary. The Midnight blew out so that is done. The SC Dunkel remained a strong pour. Others were the stalwart and tasty Stone & Wood, and they had the three usual James Squire brews along with Hoegaarden.
