If you get the chance to try it, do yourself a favour.
I went to a beer and food matching session at the James Squire's Brewery in Camperdown, Sydney. I was only a real fan of Squire's Pilsner before the session, however, after, I can't get enough of their Golden Ale. With the gallons of Golden Ale that the visitors were fed, I think it was almost inevitable.

The Hop Thief was rested for a number of years, but from a number of years ago, the Hop Thief was great. Sundown Lager was average over Christmas. Did you get a chance to try the 10/20 Celebration Ale? Potent is only one way of putting it.

Whilst we're talking about Chuck Hahn, I've moved on to Hahn's Super Dry. It is, like all Beers, better off the tap.
