I had a few of these on the week end at the Docklands brew house in Melbourne one the best beers around but you can only get it at a JS brewhouse in Sydney & Melb.

one of the only James squire brews I'm yet to try. James squire is currently my favorite Australian brand.

in fact, I'm enjoying my last rum rebellion porter right now.

Best Squires I had (down in Melbourne) was the speculator.

When I've been to the James Squire brewhouse in Sydney they haven't had the Highwayman. But my favourite has to be The Craic. Full bodied stout with a great dark chocolate taste to it.

James Squire is the only commercial beer I keep in the fridge, local bottleshop lets me mix my 6pack or slab. Not a big fan of the Golden Ale, but I like the Orginal Ale, Porter and Pilsner (more of a cross between and Lager and ale). )Haven't made it to thier 2 brewhouses in Melbourne but working on it, pretty sad considering I work in Melbourne.

Brad,

Do James Squire still make their IPA? I used to rate it second of their range. Just behind their Original Pale Ale, and just ahead of their Pilsner.

That was 2 or 3 years ago. HB has fine tuned my palate since that time, and I would probably now rank the IPA at the top of the tree (or is it three?).

As far as I know they do, but to be honest I haven't had one in a while. My bottle local shop doesn't keep it anymore they said they never sold enough. They seemed to think cause it was called "India" that it put poeple off, maybe it does. The Coles and Safeway supermarkets in town don't sell it either. None of these got any of the Rebellion Porter either, which I was dissapointed with

Just checked the JS website and it still has the "India Pale Ale" listed so I would say that is a Yes.
