Wandered into the local Coles supermarket today and passed by the home brew section and noticed some new beers.
Cascade breweries out of Tassie has three different cans up for sale a Draught, a Pale ale and a Lager.
A bit exy at $13.99 ea compared to the Coopers and the generics beside it.
Very good label presentation.
anyone seen or tried these before?

The label is the best part of the deal, I think.
I was brewing one Golden Harvest as a pilot batch for my kegs. Tasted fantastic two weeks old brewed with all malt, fistful of hops and a S-04 yeast. Some bottles I was finding under the piles of newer beers the other day was tasting like VB.
I understand they also make a "Chocolate Mahogany" porter, which might make sense to sell at this time of year isn't it?

The fact that the label is not paper glued on but is actually on the tin means you can patch them up and give them to little kids as a money tin for a present when you are finished emptying the contents, they are none the wiser as the tin looks not bad.
This is the writ of the Baron, thou art truly blessed.
I don't care what anyone says, I have brewed several Golden Harvest lagers and Mahoany Porters and I have found them to be excellent.
The golden Harvest I usually make as an all malt brew with 1 kg of LDME and Hallertau finishing hops and reckon it is one of the best lagers around when brewed with a good yeast.
The Porter is the basis of my favorite wineter brew which is a choc honey porter, with DDME and liquid chocolate malt, Cascade hops and brewed with Safale and again is exceptional.
It all comes down to time, brewing methos and individual taste.
I like the Cascade kits and will keep on using them.

Here's the blurb off the website. I gather it's the same as the label. Interesting reading indeed.gregb wrote:Did any one read the blurb on the Choc Mahogany Porter?
I was unsure if they were describing a pub or a bordello.

In a backstreet of early Hobart Town, Ruby Carmody runs the Officers Club.
Amidst the dark alleys and meagre pickings of colonial life, Ruby's is a haven of rich, scarlet textures and refined pleasures. Here, men of rank meet to enjoy the creature comforts that mark their freedom. Cigar aromas linger on polished mahogany and deep, leather lounges. Laughter and conversation flow as barmaids top up tankards with Ruby's famous house special.
In a rear, veiled room, ladies toil over the secret, tantalising brew. Its body of rich, roasted barley and deliciously sinful chocolate fills the senses and satisfies the soul. Like the brewers themselves, the beer is delicate and feminine, yet wickedly flirty and buxom.
A complex layering of flavours unveils a highly desirable brew.
