Arc Valley Premium Light

My uncle offers me all kinds of weird and interesting beers when I visit, recently he handed me a new light to try, this one wasn’t bad.

This 2.7% beer from the Netherlands has a distinctive European bite and feel to it, of course it goes down well.

I’ve have another good beer from the country – Heineken – I wonder what else they make?

This beer seems to be all over the market here in Australia, consider it if you are going light some time.

Arc Valley also has a premium, I'll see if I can find it.

Drinking it gives me images of the tulip fields and windmills in the Netherlands.

Cheers,

Dave

Mountain Goat Beers

From Christmas I scored some beers new to me for presents, not having tried Mountain Goat before I was excited to have not one but two of their beers to put in my fridge.

Mountain Goat Summer Ale

In an orange can this bright looking beer is tailored for summer drinking. From their website they claim it has low bitterness but full of fruity, crisp characters. These went down very well over some of the hot days we got for summer in Tasmania.

Mountain Goat Pale Ale

Going from a Summer ale to something completely different this is a hop driven, American inspired Pale Ale, but still has a fruity bite to it. In a bottle, this one was part of a mixed six pack and has made me wonder why it has taken me this long to try Mountain Goat since they have at least two really good brews.

Mountain Goat has been going in Australia since 1997 where two friends wanted to shake up the beer market and create real and flavoursome brews. Based in Richmond, Victoria they also have a brewery bar, I’ll have to add to my list of places to visit.

I’ll hunt around for some more of their brews and happily share them with you.

Cheers,

Dave

There will also be a new addition with a weekly Facebook update of a stubby holder from my quite large collection, I’ll try and remember where I got it from and what it means to me.
