Biz's Express Wig and Pen Experience

[Bizier]

I went to the Wig & Pen in Canberra for the first time today.

I had very little time, so I rolled up my sleeves and got straight down to work on things.

Had half pints of the following:
UK Bitter
Kolsh
(Sweet?) stout - the velvet one
Irish Red
UK IPA
US IPA - Hopidemic
US IIPA - Venom

all over the course of 45 minutes.

I have to say that I enjoyed everything imensely except the stout/dark one, but I wasn't exactly in a pondering frame of mind either. I tried some samples of APAs and a galaxy ale, but they seem to be increasingly not my thing.

Anyway, I am really impressed by the standard of product. The brewer is obvioulsy allocated a decent hop budget, and it is good to see this occur. Seemingly Sydney is still in the dark on such matters as aroma.

After a ride back to Sydney, I am feeling pretty ordinary right now... But I think had a decent crack given my time limitation.

Love your work Biz!! Try living in Canberra and not turning into an alcoholic!

Did they have the randall fired up?

Cheers,

No Randall unfortunately... Though the IPAs were not exactly lacking in luplin.

I have to say that the English IPA on handpump was freakin' awesome. Nearly enough for me to get a government job.
