Iron Jack Lager

Add caption

Australian bottleshops are now stocking yet another beer in a saturated market, Iron Jack, a midstrength lager is hoping to capitalise on any room left from XXXX Gold and Great Northern.

Their unique spin is that it’s for the Australian country man, who goes out bush and likes to have a few.

Lion who already have a good chunk of the Australian beer market have just released this beer with high expectations.

In cans and stubbies

A lion spokesman has been quoted saying that “There is a market for contemporary and sessionable mid-strength beer, with really low bitterness and a bit of hop aroma to start with, but finishes really clean,” Lion brand director, Jack Mesley explained in an exclusive interview to launch the product.” (https://www.beerandbrewer.com/lion-announces-launch-iron-jack-mid-strength-australian-lager/)

I was lucky enough to try one before its release, in my opinion, it tastes like a weak Toohey’s Extra Dry.

I hope it does become successful, the midstrength market is dominated by Queenslanders, I haven’t discovered yet where this is being brewed.

Let me know what you think when you try one.

Cheers,

Dave

Bombers Kolsch Ale

This is probably going to be my most passionate post on this blog.

My football team has made it to the finals of AFL in 2017, at the same time they have just released a limited supply of specially labelled beer, I'm watching the game while typing this, win or lose I'm pretty happy.

Essendon have joined with Colonial Brewing (Victoria) to make a special hand brewed batch of it's great tasting Kolsch Ale.

Love the design

Several players were involved in making this and getting it ready to ship to thirsty fans.

The only downside to it is once I've drank them all they're gone as the supply sold out pretty quick, luckily Colonial make regular Kolsch Ale so if the Bombers do make it to the next game I will still enjoy their flagship beer for 2017.

Go Bombers,

Dave
