Balter and Stone & Wood are pretty good though.

Living in Canberra for two and a half years Bent Spoke was our Wednesday afternoon hangout.
Bloody good brews.

Now living half an hour from Stone and Wood guess what my go to is now.

The worst $36 I have spent!

In saying this, the missus had given me her " Wining and Dining Expense Account" card, which was due to expire and still had several hundred $$$ on it which she had to get rid of. We certainly tried our best to assist her in the matter!

That is my finding about many craft beers. Odd taste and grossly overpriced. The little craft bars usually have undersized glasses as well.

My local Leagues Club sells schooners of mainstream beers for $6.50.

I remember in school a fledgling economy somewhere being built on it. Even the public servants were paid in that currency.

Hmmm. I wonder how that worked out in the end?

Not ideal I think, they ended up changing to decimal currency.

The brew house in Brisbane makes a good craft beer when my partner has to go to the matter hospital I tend to go there as it's across the road I find beers from our big brewers is just crap sort of like bundy rum.

Tooborac Pub on the Northern Hwy in central Vic does their own range of six beers. Not a bad one among them. Especially if you prefer a fuller-flavoured brew. Available to take-away (great labels!) or you can get them at the tap there, too. Decent feed. Recommended.

Bundy rum = cattle dip/ tick poison....
