What are you drinking now?

[Geoff]

The verdict.

I won't be tipping it down the sink. It seems to be drinkable (as opposed to its big brother). But that's all it is. Drinkable.

[Guru]

Free beer is free beer! Maybe a good one to keep in the fridge and share with unexpected guests.

I am assuming this slightly is better than a regular Crowny.

[Geoff]

Indeed. I simply don't have the stomach for the original Crowny; but I quite comfortably had two of these last night.

[CrookedFingers]

I quite like the crown golden ale.
Easy drinker.

I grabbed a 10 pack of these today, I'm happy with them.
The cans seem to have more of the NS aroma than the stubbies. I may be wrong.

LCPA at sydney airport. Only 3 hours until my flight home. Wont be my last one.

[Guru]

LCPA is a pretty good way to pass the time at least.

How to deal with crownies:

1. wait for a stinking hot day
2. drink enough of your own crafted beer till the mellow and don't care factor has well and truly set in
3. maintain the mood with the crownies

Alternatively, keep it for visitors, and impress them with your hosting ability, by giving them what has a reputation as a high class aussie lager.

Gold... pure gold...

Where to start? A really good series of beers. Really good.

Gunnamatta IPA: 6.5% & dry-leafed with Earl Grey leaves. Interesting AND delicious.

Huda-a-wa' Strong: 6.8% Scots' amber ale. Odd but yum.

Rex Attitude: 7%, made, it is claimed, from 100% heavy peated distilling malt. Tastes just like an Islay whiskey, only... beer.

Rex: As above but 10% and even more like whiskey than beer.

[CrookedFingers]

In a huge fan of the gunnamatta.
Great beer.

[Geoff]

Too right, great and very interesting beer.

[Guru]

Nice kolsch at the kings head hotel in Adelaide. Here for the week doing my drone pilots certificate.

[Geoff]

Drone pilot's certificate? Pray tell...

[Guru]

Long story but, I run an aerial photgraphy business (among other things) using a remote controlled aircraft that is completely autonomous. To do this commercially in australia you need a uav pilots license. Thats what I'll have after this course.

[Guru]

Finshed day 2 of my course. Having a prancing pony amber ale on tap at the kings head. Waiting for my porterhouse to turn up.

[Guru]

So tonight I'm at the same pub again and im drinking a Lobethal Bierhaus IPA. Not bad but not as hoppy as I was expecting. This is on tap too. Pretty good selection here.

[Guru]

Clare Valley brewing 'monkeys uncle'. A red ale apparently, not bad. I should be studying but to hell with it.

[Guru]

Little bang Icon hoppy lager. Very fruity and refreshing. Last night in Adelaide. Have my uav exam and flight test tomorrow. Cant wait for it to be over.

[Geoff]

Just about to leave for a week in Japan. Far Eastern beer tweets can be followed on Twitter at @pots1966.

Hawthorn Golden ale. Should call it the hawthorn golden age
