Greetings fellow Hubski Beer enthusiasts!
Following in the vein of the Photo Challenge, Book, Music and Film threads, I thought I'd start one for those of us who appreciate a good, cold combination of hops, barley, water and yeast.
I'm thinking much like the Photo and Music clubs/threads, perhaps once a week we can run a continuing "Share an interesting/awesome/new beer you've tried", ideally with photos, tasting notes, mini reviews, and subsequent discussions?
More than happy for local, craft, homebrew, commercial etc etc; this is all about sharing with each other, as there'll be beers we know about, and beers we have yet to learn about!
To get the ball rolling, I'll present possibly the most intriguing beer I've seen and tried: Doctor's Orders 'Cephalapod', a fermented sour ale in the Black Berlinerweisse tradition. Hand-pumped at Hart's Pub in Sydney during the annual Craft Beer and Cider Fair, a little over a week ago.
Needless to say, having this poured and handed to you raises many questions; namely flavour. The taste was slightly sour and malty, tart at the end, but quite light and pleasant to drink. Not something you'd want to spend all day/night on, but definitely one to revel and savour the experience, if only for the looks people give you drinking a glass full of sputum.
So have at it Hubski, share your interesting brew of the week!
