    Beer.

    So, stopper reckons there's a beer thread.
    I couldn't find it.

    So I'll start one.

    Currently upset that I've just finished my last Pirate Life Pale ale, and that I might have to go buy some more. (It was a gift)

    http://piratelife.com.au


    A mate of a mate writes a decent blog on all things hipster craft brew
    https://craftykev.wordpress.com
    Worth a look if you're tired of the same old same old from the big guys.

    Anyway

    Pirate Life Pale Ale - my word, what nice drop.

    There was definitely a beer thread on here. A hombrew one as well if I remember correctly.

    Pirate Life are good. I made the football club put Pirate Life Session IPA in the fridge or the ZPL games so I don't have to drink the usual sh!t. Really good for a 3.5% beer.

    My go to breweries through are Bridge Road, Brew Cult, Modus Operandi and Foghorn.

    On Foghorn, I like the Jets banner that they have in the roof there.

    My go to carton for camping is Mornington Pale Ale. Goes down a little too easily.

    What sort of Ales do you prefer? I like mine on the hoppy side rather than the malty english ales.

    Ideally I'd have something happy and malty but not too strongly flavoured so I can have it just as an everyday beer

    I think the only solution is for me to try many different types of beer to see which one I feel like drinking more of

    No flaws in that plan.

    If you like IPA's, Brewcults "Thanks Captain Obvious" is worth a look.

    I've had a few different stouts at the Grainy of late, due to over-consumption I'm not 100% sure on the names or localities, but there have been various different flavoured badboys on offer: jalapeno, habanero, hazelnut, gaytime (seriously, it tasted like a Gaytime ice cream.. Really nice, but you wouldn't drink it all night)..
    I usually go in for a nice pale ale.. Will do some research to find out what it is exactly that I've been trying..

    This one was sort of a coffee/toffee flavoured I was punching through them any chance I could at the firestation till they took it off tap a couple of weeks ago.

    a good article on beer in Australian stadiums from The Conversation of all places

    http://theconversation.com/the-price...g-events-69708

    this is exactly the sort of academic research we should be funding

    ^^^

    Yep - good.

    Interesting that the price per mL is higher for MLB and NFL. I wasn't doing the math at the time, but didn't feel nearly as ripped-off when buying food and drinks from these 2 codes.

    Mind you, the Aussie $ was almost at parity with the US $ when I was there
