Beer Radar for TWTW 14th Dec 2012
By John Krüger
It’s time to hammer some good beers on tap. It’s fresher and more sociable than drinking beers at home. Have a chat with the bar staff and ignore any televisions. They’re anti-social and a stupid addition to any public bar. Check out this great invention: https://www.tvbgone.com
Have a go at McLaren Vale Beer Co’s new Lager. It’s crystal clear and well made. Vale LGR is only available on tap at the moment in select venues nationally. SA beer lovers can try it at a heap of different pubs including the home of Vale Ale, the Vale Inn (previously known as the Salopian Inn just out of McLaren Vale) and also at the Highway Hotel on Anzac Highway.
The Stockwell hotel has Barossa Brewing Co’s Victorville ale on tap and it’s going strong. Victorville is an American Pale Ale in style and surprisingly, a well kept Barossa secret. The beer’s as rare as hen’s teeth so it’s well worth paying the Stocky a visit.
Check out Stone & Wood’s special release Garden Ale. It’s a lower alcohol alternative with a hint of Juniper and a really nice dry finish. It’s made for beer gardens, beer swillers and sunny days. Available in 500ml bottles and also on tap in selected venues. Check their updated listings on the website http://stoneandwood.com.au/availability/
