This will be my last post on Bier Adventures from Australia. I look forward to sharing the worlds beers with you from my new home in Germany.

The above photo is of an ad for my fav’ mas-produced Aussie Beer. Coopers Pale Ale.

See you all soon.

Prost!

Coopers Vintage

Vintage

I picked up a couple of this seasonal brew the other day. Apparently Coopers creates this beer every year in September. It has a similar alcohol texture and taste to a bock, but still enjoys that rich Coopers ale flavour.

I really enjoyed this beer. It would be great to sip over dinner rather than to drink at the pub.

On a side note, I am leaving Sydney & for that matter Australia at the end of December. I am moving to Frankfurt, Germany to take up a new job there.

The site will continue to function and will mainly contain information about biers from Germany & Europe. And maybe a few Aussie beers when I can :-)

The above shot shows what should happen to poorly made beer. In this case a Toheeys New has been shown the exit.

Coopers on Tap

Of the main stream Australian beers I am a huge fan of the South Australian made Coopers Pale Ale. I think it has something to do with the fact that unlike most of the so-called main stream beers, there are no preservatives in Pale Ale.

Note the distinctive “Frosted Tap”. Somewhat of an advertising invention and visual representation of ‘cold beer’.

I spent Monday night at the Bavarian Bier Café indulging in a fantastic evening of bier tasting and coaching on the fine art of bier drinking during the December sesssion of Bier Akademie.

I visited the Heritage Restaurant, part of the Belgian Beer Cafe group of bars the other evening. Not only do they have a great food menu, but their beer menu is one of the most expansive in Sydney.

I had one of my favourite Belgian beers, an amber called Kwak.
