Hi,
It's pretty serious business. Just over 9%AB/V, and very heavily hopped. Bottle conditioning has seen the hops stay strong which was the aim. It's a two or three stubbie per session beer. I've had some high praise from local brew legends which has really spurred me on to try some more interesting blends.
Cheers,
Nik

Hi,
Sorry for the lack of updates. I literally just walked out of a meeting with some officials. Long story short, I am now fully approved by the federal and state government to manufacture and sell/supply beer that I make myself!
This thread is a bit sad to look at when you see the date stamps. The stonewalling of local councils to try and stop a new business venture in a tourism driven wine region is just appalling. Oh well. That's behind me now.
I will give a better update later on, but now, I think it's time to celebrate!
Cheers,
Nik

Just re discovered this thread again and understand your frustration with councils and other red tape BS haha, the bar I was talking about earlier only got its licence a couple of weeks ago after much fun trying to get the liquor licence..
Anyway congratulation on getting licensed down there the process is never easy and can drag on.. Can I order a mixed carton of you beers and happy to pay, will drop them off to the manager at Five and try them out and see if he wants to take on anything.. They are always looking for new and unique beers and ciders to add to the range.. Or if you up this way any time let me know and will buy you a beer at Five.
Five Bar
ATM this is the only web presences as we are just glad to be up and running for now.
Cheers
James

Hi,
Can't believe how hard they make things. Doesn't matter now. I am now actively selling four packs of beer! It's been a very rewarding release and I can't help but yell from the rooftops.
I MAKE BEER, AND THEN I SELL IT!
Any of the Australians on here that would like to know more about where I am stocked, let me know (I am not an approved vendor by any stretch of the imagination, so if this is considered spam, please remove at moderator discretion).
@James: Expect a phone call!!
Cheers,

Hi,
Your care package is apparently still waiting for collection. I'm more than a bit annoyed about it, I'm not known for not following through.
@Speedy: I'll get at you in the morning, mate. I don't have any outlets in QLD, but we can make something happen.
Cheers,
Nik
