Correct! Eisbock is 330ml (3.1SDPB). In fact, i'm drinking one right now (from my 2 cases :P). Bottle number is; 048754.

This is of course, next to my 30 double magnums of 2002 Chimary Grande Reserve.

i was talking to a mate just the other day about glasses that have had the inside base of the glass sand blasted... apparently the bubbles continue to bubble even when there is very little in the glass left... I havent seen it for real, but am keen to search for em.

Anyone heard of this?

Correct ...

I served up 3 kegs of redback with tequila shots through each serving and it rocked the night like no other.

I'm a big fan of redback, keep it up Matt!

Alpha Pale Ale

Tried a 1L hit of the famed Alpha Pale Ale at the Woolloomooloo Ale & Steakhouse.

Best $14 i ever spent. A sensational product with a real citrus underlying flavour. Fantastic upfront appreciation with a slowly depleting palate.

Will be going back for more!

Aventinus Eisbock

Although it might not exactly be a bargain for your wallet, it is for beer lovers.

Vintage Cellars in Newtown currently have a quickly depleting supply of Aventinus Eisbock (bottle numbered series).

Going at 11.99 per bottle, and a must try if you have never had it before it is without a doubt ...

...and we the punters will be in to tell the retailer how unhappy we are about it all.

I hope you do! Always voice your opinion, but to somebody who can make a change. We can't.

It's all about profits at the end of the day. From our point of view, we have to maintain a "company" outlook (forced ...

In reply to a post above.

My point of view exists, because it is people like me who will end up with the final result of any company takeover.

The final seller.

Some beers i picked up

Going to have a sitting at Doma next week, bringing 10 new beers to try with a friend of mine. Seeing as they have all the right glasses we figured it's the best bet.

Lineup is:

Erdinger "Pikantus" (Dunkler Weizenbock) - Germany
Weihenstephaner "Tradition" (Bayrisch Dunkel) - Germany

Oliver,

I recently tried a beer from El Salvador, which is about to be nationally carried. It's....shocking. A friend of mine, after tasting requested the glass be thrown away as well, to ensure consistancy in the future.

I would love somebody to compare the following in a blind tasting;

There is alot of fermentable sugars in there, attributing to the alc/vol. Nothing much you can do about if, if you want the citric acids from the oranges etc to stay in the flavour.

Try a blood orange...
