For the Canberrans

What are the good pubs to visit on a Wednesday and Thursday Night?

Who has happy hours when?

Thanks

Wig and Pen in Civic. Not sure about happy hours or partying, but some of the best brewed beer in the country.

Had much fun at the Wig and Pen.
One of the best micro's in the country.

How on earth do you ever find pubs in Canberra????

I have mentioned this topic before in street directories and pub listings.

Unfortunately the only thing we could find in 1991 was the PRIVATE BIN

If Canberra has a underbelly this has to be it.

Inbred halfwit nitwitsof all shapes and sizes from all over Australia congregating in the one spot.
Why didnt they name the Private Bin, Parliament it would have been more fitting!!

Every town has its sleazy scumbag nightclub. You found Canberra's.

For some reason (tax breaks I think) they closed all pubs over the years and built taverns and sporting clubs. f---ing horrible...which is why I stay home and drink good beer!

Looks like i will be making a trip to our nations capital 24-25th of September for work. Not sure where i will be staying but am keen to pay a visit to the Wig and Pen for a few beers. Not sure what my schedule is going to be, i will be busy during office hours and am unsure if i will be taken out for dinner. Depends on how deep the AFPs pockets are.....

Any other good pubs or do they all pale in comparison to the Wig and Pen?

They pale and ale in comparison to the Wig and Pen. You could also look out for Zierholtz beer. That's our other micro, but it doesn't have a pub.

Nice! I'm going to Fyshwick today- might drop by...

W&P is still better...

Sure you did doc.

I went to Christoph's brewery yesterday and had some pretty tasty beer. His porter is good, as is the brown, but the hopmeister is easily the best.

Porter? Didnt see one of those on his list...

Am keen to try his kolsch, alt and the hopmeister. Will need to organise a car while i am there or is Canberras public transport better than ours? Couldnt be much worse...

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Tuesday Sep 02, 2008 8:25 pm

CAR!!! Do not even consider public transport in Canberra- it's even worse than Sydney!

There's going to also be an Oktoberfest in the next few weeks.

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Tuesday Sep 02, 2008 8:26 pm

An Oktoberfest lager that is.

drsmurto · Post by **drsmurto** » Wednesday Sep 03, 2008 10:24 am

Awesome! I have an Oktoberfest pencilled in to brew in a few weeks time. Will hold off until i can get to Zierholz and have a chat to the brewer. Was going to use 2206 but might lash out and buy 2633 (oktoberfest blend).

How much would a taxi from the city cost?

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Wednesday Sep 03, 2008 8:04 pm

I've (thankfully) never been in a Canberra taxi. It's about 15-20mins from the city centre.

drsmurto · Post by **drsmurto** » Monday Sep 22, 2008 2:58 pm

Flying in to Canberra tomorrow and will be heading to the Wig and Pen for dinner and drinks.

Looking forward to working my way thru their collection.

Any locals keen for a beer?

I'm keen for a beer. Just got the thumbs-up from the missus, so will see you there for a quiet couple.
