Brewmanity are part craft beer company, part philanthropic endeavor. Whilst $99 is not over the top for a slab of craft beer, especially one that could be regarded as a collector's edition, it's worth noting that Brewmanity donate proceeds from every beer sold and have currently raised over $150,000 for the Cure For MND Foundation.

 

100% I appreciate that.

As stated, this particular brew 'Raises funds for the Melbourne Football Club'.

(I've already donated lots of money to the club. And all I've got for it is a drinking problem – least they could do is knock some froth off the top if you know what I mean)

    Yeah totally get that. Is the presale offer to MFC supporters a different price to retail? It could end up that $99 is a lower price. Not sure.

    As a company they raise funds for MND and also assist in clean water projects, so I'm pretty happy buying such a unique Dees product made by a genuine champion of a player and bloke (incidentally Paul Hopgood is involved too), that will help those causes as well as the club.

    Good point, might have to wait and see.

    OUCH.

    That is extraordinarily expensive. Shame, wasted good idea. I'll keep on enjoying my home-brewed Kilkenny (I import the hops myself from England, the dry malt compounds and concentrates, the 3 yeast varieties, etc., just to be authentic to the recipe.)

    It still only costs me 28 cents per 700ml bottle, after 5 weeks secondary bottle maturation in my garage steel cupboard @ 24 degrees C.

    That's about $9 per slab - and after 5 years of making this particular brew x 4 times per year - it is just as good (if modestly said, 'better', than the Real McCoy) so maybe I will have the handbrake make me up some original Demon labels to complete the job. This typing is thirsty work - seeya!

    I bought 2 cases to only be opened when we hold the premiership cup aloft.

    Beer lasts forever doesn't it?

    perhaps we should be offering vintage ports instead. Might just last for the great grandchildren.

    No, DJ we can't risk it. You know they will be tea drinkers and it will go to waste, don't do it man.

    We all should open our own social club up and make fine brews.

    Will it be available at Dan Murphys?

    Still waiting to crack my bottle of Malmsey Madeira 1900 vintage reserved for our next flag.  As old as our first ever VFL premiership 119 years ago. Was primed to be cracked open in 2000 so after that shellacking it has remained in the cellar waiting for our next flag ever since. I was getting the corkscrew and decanter ready last year but now it looks like it will be gathering copious dust all over again.

    Just checked out their website.  100% of the profits of the new Demon beer go to the MFC.   10% of the sales of their other beers go to the Cure for MND Foundation

    David Neitz is awesome.

    Well, one of the best.

    Let you in on a secret D since 56 , Believe it or not Ballarat Bitter is made or was made by Carlton and United Brewery in Abbotsford   Still is. VB which stands for Victoria Bitter is the same product as Ballarat Bitter.   True!

    The 2019 edition kills it, I think I'll wait for the 2020 edition.

    I don't want anyone on here getting sick, so before you drink and I will sample a few first to make sure they are ok to consume.

    Just being a good Samaritan....

    Always try before you buy.

    Knew that, but I have a soft spot for Ballarat, and lived there for 2 years in Pleasant Street very near the Bunch of Grapes pub. My point is that there are beers and there are beers, as we all know. And, there are places and there are places, as we all know. Put the two together and you have some variation - for example, Fourex tastes mediocre in temperate southern climates like Melbourne whereas in more humid conditions such as Brisbane and above, it tastes bloody fantastic! The same with VB/BB. It just tastes great in wet weather. Thanks for your additional info, NSFM, as it happens, when I go to the 'G to see the footy, I usually stay at a rented apartment in the old CUB building, as you mention.

    What is though ? A pale ale, lager, draught, bitter  ???

    How did Neita not brand this as ‘The Demon Drink’? The pun was there for the taking.

    Plus the 2019 run surely should have been a bitter; the type of beer best reflecting the year.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
