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

Yesterday I (for the first time) came across Little Creatures Pale in pint bottles. Anyone seen this before, or is it a new thing?

I got one of these a few months back so it's not new.

It's supposed to be a different yeast for brewing and for carbonation, but a lager yeast? That's interesting.

apparently it's so they can carbonate while in cold storage

I was thinking tonight about the Lager Yeast still going whilst my Ale yeasts were sleeping and not carbonating
How could I add ale yeast whilst bottling?? Syringe?
A homebrew is like a fart, only the brewer thinks it's great.

Yep, have been around for some time. I remember seeing them sold at a little bar made from an old shipping container in one of Melbourne's alleys. Have seen them in a few bottle shops, but they ain't cheap

probably adding it to your fermenter befor bottling would work

What is the cheapest that anyone has been able to get these pints? the cheapest i've managed is $5.70... i can justify that (just) because if you buy a pint (in a glass) at the brewery itself, its 8.60.... (not quite the same atmosphere at home compared to the brewery).
I freely admit that I was Very Very Drunk....

I just finished an LCPA and it was as good as always! My visits to Rocky are most welcomed
