Rising from the ashes of Boag’s Wild Rivers comes the phoenix
– Boag’s St George, resurrected from the Boag’s purgatory pit where all good
beers seem to go to die.
Poor sales from Wild Rivers has seen it out of production,
very sad since it was only created late last year.
After a lot of encouragement from fans, Boag’s caved and
brought back this cult favourite for a ‘limited release’ as stated on new
packaging.
Boag’s St George had a good run up until 2011 back in the
Golden era of beers when Boag’s was making an amazing range.
St George was unique, a premium lager it had a stigma of a
classy man’s beer, a smaller stubby but at 4.8% ABV still made it an easy to drink
beer but with a premium price.
Meant for Tasmanian only release it has only been given to
select bottle shops in the state, coming in waves as I believe only a certain
amount was made.
When I held one for the first time, I kissed it, I never
thought I would drink this amazing beer again…
But is it the same?
It looks the same, it tastes the same but on closer inspection the alcohol content has dropped down to 4.2%, which is why it is a lot cheaper than it used to be.
I have stocked up for now,
My fondest memory of this beer was during Christmas of 2011
I had one carton left, I drank the whole carton that day and still had room for
scotch afterwards.
Enjoy it while it lasts, sadly all good things must come to
an end… again.
Cheers,
Dave
