Great Northern Super Crisp Lager

Queensland is known around Australia for its hot summers, amazing beaches and fishing. This image has been captured and created into a beer for all of Australia to enjoy. Great Northern is the beer with the marlin on it, a dream catch for any fisherman.

Great Northern Original was brewed for Queenslanders, the Super Crisp Lager was developed in 2015 for the rest of Australia. The key difference with the national version is that it’s a mid-strength. Queensland is already famous for a popular selling mid strength beer, XXXX Gold, is the state big enough for two popular selling mid-strengths?

I have noticed in the past two years how quick Great Northern Super Crisp Lager has entered bars and bottle shops. Many beer drinkers swear on it because of its unique fruity aroma and crisp texture, of course. Like pretty much every beer, it has had mixed reviews but this is good competition for XXXX Gold, a nice beer and one I think you should try if you are looking for something new and exciting.

Matso's Lychee Beer

Before Christmas last year I sampled a mango beer, it wasn’t that good, but I did recommend Matso’s if you are ever wanting to have a mango beer.

I’ve recently discovered that Matso’s also have another fruit flavoured beer, lychee.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with lychee I’ll share what I’ve learned from a google search: It is a tropical fruit native to provinces in China, now cultivated around the world, you don’t eat the hard outside but instead the white fleshy pulp inside.

It has a unique sweet flavour and in my opinion has been infused with Matso’s beer very well.

While drinking it I would get caught up in the amazing sweet taste and had to keep reminding myself that this was a beer, it was a pleasurable experience and I suggest you try it for yourself.

Another great beer!

Matso’s is a brewery in Broome which has Asian history – hence the Asian influences in their beers.

Cheers,

Dave
