Your poison of choice?

Went to the Birkenhead for dinner last night and tried a Stone and Wood Cloud Catcher. Like all the Stone and Wood products this one was really nice, had an apricot / stone fruit finish, unfortunately at $12.50 over the bar ( 500ml ) I was only having the one, could have smashed a couple more down quite easily.

I don't think I could drink that without singing "Happy Birthday Helen".

Had a real hankering for Chilli beer recently, don't normally drink at home but might pop into Dan Murphy's today and pick up a 6 pack as I rarely see it in restaurants or pubs.
Still have 3 beers in the fridge from the 6 pack I won a few months ago and that's because my parents stayed over for a night this week and my step dad had 3 of them lol.

Chilli beer? Please elaborate, I don'tr think I'd enjoy it but sounds interesting, chilli flavoured I assume?

I've had the chilli beer before, and never again. Not my cup of tea.

Matso's brewery in Broome do a chill infused beer, yes, that's the only one I've tried.

[bennymacca]

I love chilli and I love beer

But the Matsos chilli beer was disgusting imo

[Wedgie]

Had a few, I remember Montezumas used to stock a beautiful chilli beer from the sunshine Coast but haven't seen it for years. Many moons ago the micro brewery at Myponga made it too. I love it.
Just got back from Dan Murphy's and they only had Matsos so will give it a go, bought a 6 pack of Pirate life IPA To help go with it as I always need two beers when drinking a chilli beer because of the spice.
If I have a couple this afternoon will give a review, depends if we go out to the Findon tonight to see a band or not.
I could have chilli in everything, love it.

Not overly impressed with the Matsos Chilli Beer.
Virtually no head with residual soapy white foam which fades in 5 seconds.
Very bubbly and clear, like a home brewed light lager or a Hahn Super Dry.
The chilli's not that hot.
Very easy to drink though as goes down like a soft drink.
Much prefer the Sunshine Coast one I had in the past as it was a better beer and was spicier.

Looking forward to having an IPA after this as it should be the other end of the taste spectrum.

Pirate life IPA is sensational.

Pirate life IPA is sensational.

I've got a 6 pack in the fridge ready to try.
Feel a bit embarrassed that I've never tried Pirate Life as their HQ is closer to my house than any pub is.
Usually prefer keg or bottled beer but willing to give them a go.

I hadn't been to Dan Murphy's for years before today, wow, there's a lot of beers there now!

Hard to shop anywhere else given their prices.

$46 for a litre of CC's.

The Gepps Cross one quite often has a dude giving out samples, I think we ended up sampling about 8 drinks each where we were there last, good bloke who was new to SA, wanted to hear about the Clare Valley and best way to holiday there.

Does it make your old fella burn when you pee?

Cans still have a stigma because it used to be what the cheapest beer was in but apparently it is way better as it stops light getting in, is easier to store and transport, cheaper, etc

Depends on if spilled it on your tackle holding hand.

[Lightning McQueen]

Not quite up to morell's quality but very apt.

I've always found it tastes different because of the preservatives put into cans, even heard something like sulphuric acid was used. Having said that I did go through a stage in my early 20s when I preferred can beer.

Cans have several aspects that differ to bottles :

Generally the mouth of a can is wider meaning you open your mouth wider meaning you get an enhanced flavour as you use more of your olfactory sensory neurons. It's why many of the hoppy craft beers use the wide mouth cans.

Cans limit the amount of light hitting the beer ( An ol mate neighbour told me years ago never trust beer in clear bottles, he's right )
They have an internal coating now that eliminates the metallic taste of old. They get cold quicker and they're cheaper to make, cheaper to transport and are fully recyclable.

I always preferred canned beer in my early 20's as the bottles rolling around on the floor in the back of my car drove me insane when they chinked together when I turned a corner.

I always pour them into a good quality glass when I’m drinking st home. Helps a lot as a lot of the flavour and aroma is in the head
