Cascade Beer

[DEE fence 5,007]

Must admit, always been a Coopers Red fan (will admit the best beer comes from crow-eater heartland), but this might make me switch...

Anybody who rates SA beer has no taste whatsoever.

Tassie beer is by far miles in front of any other.Boags probably being the best.

The trouble with coopers fans is they forget the below average beers most SA s drink.

Is it the bottle or the beer you like?

One of the best meals I have ever eaten was at the Strahan pub in Tas.

A plate of locally ocean farmed atlantic salmon washed down with several pots of cascade.

Love Tassie beer, sadly don't drink beer much these days.

VB for me. Its a Victorian, I love him, get him up here.

Although Santa managed to find me and left a Juan Lopez Canada and a bottle of 12 yr old single malt which is looking nice while I watch the cricket

I'm partial to Cascade, don't get me wrong, Boags is what it used to be or my taste buds moved on. This bottle brought a smile though.

I'd rather bottle goats [censored] than drink cascade..

But thats just my opinion.

A beer that honours the great Ivor Warne-Smith who won two Brownlow Medals for Melbourne must be worth drinking.

Pity they don't serve it in the Little Collins in Manhattan.

By the way, I didn't know this at the time but I live next door to the proprietor's grandmother.

Not only that, but I had lunch with his mother-in-law on the day we met for coffee.

And not only that, but his sister-in-law used to go out with one of our mods.

Small world.

Cheers

Love everything about Tassie: Wine, Food, Art, landscape, lifestyle! Would move there but too far from family, friends & Demon football games!

Not a beer drinker but always love a Cascade on a hot summer day!

Most of the big brand Aussie beers are crap. Coopers are just OK. I like their Pale Ale best. There is something wrong when a beer has to be served a couple of degrees shy of being frozen solid to make it drinkable. Nothing beats good German and other European beers that still taste delicious at dare I say a balmy 15 to 18c.

Of the higher profile brewers, I would rate James Squire ahead of Cascade, Boags and Coopers. But I prefer to try the smaller "boutique" (god I hate that description) beers that I stumble on in the bottle-o... not always great, but always an adventure with the occasional pay-off. Pear cider is another favourite these days.

I once asked a pommy fella what he drinks.

"As much as I fookin can."

Nothing wrong with a Mountain Goat.

Think he meant drinking its pi55,not sleeping with it.

Funny you say that, I'm born & bred in Strahan. Lived here my whole life. Hamers Hotel is the pub you're talking about!

It's only a 45 minute flight! Normally pick them up for anywhere between $49-$79! I did get a $19 flight with Jetstar once.

That would be it.

I have a paid a lot more and enjoyed the meal a lot less.

Heading to Tas in March again with the cheese and just might get over to Strahan again, love the place. Might even cast a lure.

I'm a Melbourne supporter, so I drink wine.

[MadAsHell 4,212]

If you want a good beer head to the Mountain Goat Brewery in Richmond on a Friday evening. Otherwise my beer of choice is Stone & Wood Pacific Ale from Byron Bay.

Great to see Cascade honour a Melbourne legend. Having said that Boags do produce much better beer, but the Moo Brew Brewery just outside Hobart is fantastic. $30 will buy you 8 stubbies from their collection of 6 (the hef was my favourite), an hour long tour and shoot some hoops at the end!

[P-man 13,366]

My favourite beer is Duvel followed by Pilsner Urquell, both of which I've had in their country of origin, but one of the best beers I've ever had was a Cascade Pale Ale in the Cascade Gardens in Hobart. Unbelievably fresh. Combined with the picturesque surrounds, it sticks out in the memory.

Little Creatures Brewery in Freo is another great option.

The Boags Brewery does a beer and cheese tasting at the end of their tour. Beer and cheese. Together at last.

Will have to check out Moo Brewery next time. Not a bad drop, although they ripped off the name from me and my mates. Our three home made products in college were Brew 62, Moo Brew and Leaf Brew. The first two have been ripped off by Coopers and Moo Brew respectively. We didn't fancy going through lengthy court proceedings so we let it slide, but the resentment lives on...

Your spot on about Boags. I was fortunate enough to experience that back in October this year. Was very enjoyable. Loved their Wizard Smith Ale which sadly isn't for purchase outside Tassie.

That sucks big one's re the names. And sadly your right, the cost of court proceeding sup front are very steep and then if you loose become life shattering.....
