It's out of sorts for me to straight up post a product without any nonsense, memes, or anything attached. There's nothing funny here. I can't think of a haze fan beer that's been this good, ever. It's perfect. The colour is reminiscent of the best U.S. examples, that head lasts and lasts, the aroma is so plush and inviting, the palate so densely packed with flavour, but there's not a single molecule out of place. It's the best beer in this style I've had, period. It puts peak Deeds, MC, Banks to the sword. Buy it all next week. You deserve a treat and this beer deserves to be in your nostrils and mouths. I am shook.

I am bored in hospital so I grabbed the hun, and found this article about Kaiju, excise and the industry as a whole. It says sales went from $6.4m in FY23 to $3m in 25. This is hard to read as their product is terrific and always has been. I love a good bitch session but I don't have anything to bitch about with Kaiju. If these guys can feel the pinch, anyone can. Please think about grabbing a few indie beers this weekend and sharing them with a mate. The industry needs all the help it can get.

“If the supermarket can spruik hot cross buns in January, why not have a go at flogging some whisky in summer” thought Ryan. He has a very long connection to Australian whisky and is delighted that it is now at a quality and price point where there really is no need to look further afield. He also not sure why he is writing this in the third person.

Register your interest in the comments, I reckon I can do a dozen beers and a half dozen wines at about $300 and donate a good chunk back, or if when we find an appropriate relief fund, I will sell you cost price grampians booze for a while if you produce a donation receipt. One way or another we will figure out a way to help our mates.

Things to not drop in a bottle shop; #1 Grenadine syrup. Pls send thoughts and prayers.

Hello Coburg

My name is Ryan. I’m a Coburg local who was fed up with travelling outside the ‘burg to get interesting booze to drink at home. So we set about fixin’ that problem with this here little shop here on Bell street. There’s 200+ good craft beers that change every week, I’ve got a couple of hundred great wines of all shapes and sizes, and a few dozen local gins, whiskies, liqueurs and delights. Every day I have something new and interesting open to taste and I’d love to help you along your booze discovery journey. I try to make it fun and w**k free. I look forward to seeing you soon.
