| My local craft beer |
The Morrison craft
beer brewery has been brewing beer right under my nose without me realising it.
It hit me like a
hockey puck to the face when I read someone recently that this beer was brewed
right here in Launceston, and not only that but Invermay, an area I drive
through almost daily to get to work (insert facepalm).
I am focusing my
drinking habits towards craft beer these days and have in fact sampled the
Morrison Brewery beers on several occasions since the Esk Beerfest in January.
It has been one I often start with at my favourite alcohol establishment Saint
John Craft Beer as it is usually on the #1 tap.

| I want all of the beer... |
Purchasing a
stubby of it today I read the label to confirm what I thought I had read, that
Morrison Brewery is my closest craft beer brewer.
Doing the usual
basic research I have found its Facebook page which sadly only has 539 likes
since its creation in 2011.

| Morrison Beer is popular at Tassie Beer Festivals |
They specialise in
English and Irish style craft beer after Tasmanian Paul Morrison started with a
home brew kit and sent samples down to the Hobart for the Tasmanian Beerfest
which won the approval of thousands and encouraged him to grow his business
into a 500 litre microbrewery.

| This was good! |
The three main
beers they have available are English Bitter, Irish Red Ale and Irish Stout. I’ve
had the first two on several occasions and remember trying a Saison type at
Beerfest.

According to their
Facebook page they have their product for sale Tasmania wide at many establishments
and bottleshops (including all BWS stores in Tasmania), and the beers have
placed well in Melbourne beer competitions.
I will be
supporting this brewer more now even though I already liked it and hopefully Mr
Morrison can continue his success.
Cheers,
Dave
