Hops and Hops and Hops

With fresh hop season just about done, hops are back even more front and center than usual. And fresh hops are but one of the many variants that come from this one plant.

Which made me grateful for this post from The Crafty Pint which breaks down the different modes of lupulin transport into beer along with notes from brewers as well.  It is a helpful list that I will keep for future reference.

Australian Brewery # 3 – Little Creatures

Our third and final stop on our tour of Australian craft breweries takes us to Little Creatures.

As was the case with the previous two breweries on this itinerary, the details are courtesy of the Crafty Pint. THE place to go for Australian craft beer information.

I am most intrigued by their single batch beers and the choices for them. Single hop beers tend to be the bigger hops. And by bigger, I mean your Centennial or Cascade or Nelson. But they do a East Kent Goldings. Then they do a batch of marzen. Very cool.

Australian Brewery # 2 – Moo Brew

Our middle stop on our tour of Australian craft breweries takes us to the alliteratively named Moo Brew.

What caught my fancy, beer-wise was the Hop Harvest a twist on their pale ale. But I really like the label art. Goofy and fun.

Australian Brewery # 1 – Feral Brewing

Our initial stop on our tour of Australian craft breweries takes us to the alliteratively named Feral Brewing Company.

What jumped out at me other than the marvelous name was the barrel aged Hop Hog beer. Just sounds like a grand experiment. Though the Runt beer sounds good too.
