Accidentally ordered a XXXX Gold tonight in Gladstone. It was (surprisingly) ok...

1: A bit.
2: Squires Pale misheard for XXXX Gold by the barman. He'd nearly finished filling the second schooner before I noticed. It was icy cold and on a balmy night... Well, it was OK. Not great, or even good, but OK.

Re: What are you drinking now?
yeah baby
Re: What are you drinking now?
I can't quite read the ABV on the can, but that's one hell of a "Pale Ale" with an OG of 1064!CrookedFingers wrote:

Re: What are you drinking now?
Got a feeling its 5.5%
Bloody lovely though !
Only $14.90 for a four pack. American points though, only 475 I think.

I was wrong. Not 5.5%
Re: What are you drinking now?
That's basically $15 for a 6-pack, which is great for a 6.3% quality craft beer. Where'd you get 'em?

I was at the Uncle's joint last Saturday buying some Grandfather port for my brother-in-law's 50th pressie. As usual spent 10 mins browsing the craft section, and didn't see the Bronx. Will have to look again.
I did leave with a Monthieth's Bohemian Pilsner (I'm planning to brew a Bo Pils soon, my first lager, and wanted something to compare) and a Ballast Point Big Eye IPA.
And I think you got ripped on the $14.90...website has a 4-pack for $13!

Re: What are you drinking now?
How good is the Big Eye !?!?!?!?!?!
Love it.
Love it.
Re: What are you drinking now?
Singapore Sling at Sidewalk Bar (somewhere near Khaosan Rd, Bangkok.) Back again so soon for urgent dental work. Honest.
Broome Pale Ale. WA's Finest Craft Beer.

About as good as it gets in my opinion.CrookedFingers wrote:How good is the Big Eye !?!?!?!?!?!
Currently drinking a Vale Dark. US style dark lager. Very nice drop but I'm not completely sold on the hops/Caraffa Spec combo but definitely worth trying. I just think I'd prefer a continental pils malt backbone in lieu of hops. Second thought, might as well make it a Kostritzer Dark.
