Don't have time to tell you why, but Yorkshire Toffee, Boston Cream, Scottish 90/, and Muldoons.

And they are better as partials IMO.

the patial witbier (i got 4th in last years vicbrew with this beer) and white shield IPA have been my favourites so far

make sure you grab a pizza while your there, there heavenly

and if you want a ton of answers ask over on the Grumpy's forum, everyone has a different favourite, Boston Cream seems to be the biggest one tho

Yeah, the pizza is fantastic. As are the beers on tap.

It helps to give the guys some notice so they can have the stuff ready for you when you arrive. Just an email is fine.

Make sure you sample Black Betty - she is a beast. MMMMmmmmmm. And the pizzas are amazing, only problem is narrowing it down to one.

Black Betty aint no myth, she's real and an evil temptress to boot.

If you are going to Grumpys drop in for a pint of Black Betty. Guaranteed you'll want more! She was on the hand pump last time i dropped in.

and go the carnivore pizza, feed the man meat :wink:

They didn't have black betty when I was there. What is it?

Black betty is a porter and a belter at that. Last time i was there, 2 fridays ago, they had it on the handpull so it was flat and warm-ish. Memories of the mother country came flooding back.

Cant remember which pizza i had, was tasting other HBs (Stammtisch) and the RIS knocked me off my feet. Did get some great feedback on my JSGA wannabe and my CPA clone.

Just check their website - I had Zorba the sheep - %^$ awesome pizza!

I really wish I could just go on a trip to Grumpy's! It's an epic for me.

I'm lucky enough to drive past it on my way to and from work every day.

But i rarely drop in, the beers are far too good to simply have one and head home.....

I've gotten myself there before. And Canberra to Adelaide is a little bit longer that Melbourne to Adelaide.

But not as far as Sydney, Brizzy, Darwin, Perth or Hobart.

That's true. Have been meaning to go back. Too bad GT isn't there anymore.
