Fat Yak Pale Ale

Fat Yak Pale Ale

This is a fantastic craft beer that is proudly Australia and strangely has nothing to do with a fat yak.

One of the brews of out Matilda Bay in Western Australia, this is widely available across Australia in stubbie or on tap.

This is what the breweries website has to say about it “We wanted to create and easy drinking craft beer in the traditional North American pale ale style that has proved so popular with discerning beer drinkers – so we did, and then named it after a hairy Mongolian cow thing.” https://www.matildabay.com.au/fat-yak

Also available on tap

Along with the clear crafty flavour in the beer I noted some fruit elements, melon and passionfruit I learned after some research.

At 4.7% it is a pretty standard strength beer, but it is easy to drink though so I often find myself getting inebriated quicker than normal when drinking this beer.

I can never stop at just one!

If you actually want to eat food rather than just drink a lot of Fat Yak’s the website also claims that it goes well with almost any food – except for Yak which apparently doesn’t taste very nice.

For those of you that are more into cider, Matilda Bay make a ‘Dirty Granny’ cider, I’ll leave it up to you to find out how dirty it really is though!

Matilda Bay also makes Dirty Granny Cider

Typical with craft beer type drinks it is a little bit more expensive to buy but these days I will go for quality over quantity, as I have matured in my beer drinking habits and would rather enjoy what I’m drinking rather than go for that all night buzz.

As always Dave’s Beers of the World promotes responsible consumption of alcohol.
