Tom M. is drinking a Fire Falcon by Little Creatures Brewing at Cameron Park
Inoffensive. Metallic aftertaste. As Glenn D. said, for a Red Ale it tastes plenty like an English bitter

Tom M. is drinking a Wooden Ram by New England Brewing Co. at Boat Harbour
Definitely into this. Balance of flavours is spot on (for me anyway). Chocolate, caramel, shiraz, vanilla-oak, and banana esters as it warms

Tom M. is drinking a Death From Above by Garage Project at Boat Harbour
A shadow of its former self. Malt bomb. Can't rate. Sad, because this is normally a favourite of mine

Tom M. is drinking a Bad Boy Bubbly by Moon Dog Craft Brewery at Boat Harbour
Nails the brief. 100% champagne. Needs more bubbles but that's it (age probably hasn't helped there). Where is the 13%?!

Tom M. is drinking an All Black by Dainton Family Brewery at Boat Harbour
Top-notch BIPA. Got the hops-malt-roast balance pretty spot on. One of the smoothest (not harsh) Black IPAs Ive had too. Well done Dainton!

Tom M. is drinking a Ghost of Eyre by Steamrail Brewing Company (Coles) at Cameron Park
LCI. Considering it's brewed by a supermarket, this ain't half bad. Citrus hops and crystal malt present. Light-on, but tasty

LCI. Nice drop, appreciate the concept, but can't help but wish it was a stout... Can't get enough of that roast!
Bottle
Tom M. is drinking a Whiskey Barrel Cider by Stone Dog Meadery at Boat Harbour
LCI. Probably the best cider I've had. The sweet-tart balance is spot on, and the whiskey comes through brilliantly. Lovely drop
Bottle
LCI. My first beer from Hope since I stopped working for them. Nice English Brown with plenty of chocolate and peanut-hazelnut. Yum
