The beer we’ve been busting our arses to locate since before we even opened our doors.
The beer that certain staff members have been craving since they encountered it on their travels to the states - hell, one of the bar staff has even been wearing the shirt to work to drop hints to us to hurry up and get it in.
At long last we have it in the fridges as we speak.
Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Brooklyn Lager.
If you’ve ever been to New York and quickly worked out that irony is for suckers and that PBR is indeed the worst beer known to man (yes, even worse than a cocktail made out of Emu Bitter, XXXX and Geelong Bitter), then the next beer you were were recommended to grab was a Brooklyn Lager.
Brooklyn is an awesomely smooth amber gold LAGER that displays a firm caramel malt centre with a fine bitterness and beautiful floral aroma.
These aromatic qualities are enhanced by a process known as “dry hopping” - the centuries old process of steeping the beer with fresh hops as it undergoes a long, cold maturation.
The result?
A super smooth, flavoursome beer that is an American classic.
If you are going to copy and paste from Here, you might want to check your additions .You’ve erroneously edited in that it’s an ale. It’s a lager, not an ale and the two are markedly different in many ways.
I dont know what Brooklyn Lager is like, but when i was in the San Fran, i was shocked at how bad the beer was. Piss bad, Truly fuckn horrible. i’d rather have Geelong bitter than that shit.
Mass produced beer from America is truly dreadful, no question. But then again so is mass produced beer from Australia. There are also awesome beers coming out of America from smaller producers, many I dare say are considerably better than those from our shores. Not so long ago had an American Pale Ale from Oregan - which I canot recall - but it was truly fantastic. Don’t count em out.
Ah, just found this thread, will pop down soon, I’m kinda nearby.
Every council is different, some are better than others. Mostly you can just ring the front desk and ask for one. Generally also the property owner can veto it (councils don’t want to upset local traders). Usually a council will have a certain amount of money per year and just spend from that as they get requested. If they run out of money they just continue working from the list next financial year. Also they will go and measure the area for other poles, manholes etc and if there’s not enough space, they won’t put it in. They need pretty good clearance around stuff in the street. Maybe why they don’t have any around the standard… or you could just request some.
Also Yarra are pretty good at fixing potholes if you call and tell them it’s dangerous to bikes, I did it once on Brunswick street, took them a few hours.
we do have plans to get racks in VERY soon but there were a few more pressing issues with planning we had to address first (like extended trading hours during the week, getting the cafe up and running) and didn’t want the racks to possibly impact or hold that up.
I read an article about a phone app that let’s you take a picture of pothole/graffiti/damaged property and uses GPS to forward it to the relevant authority. Apparently it has been quite successful with repairs being completed within days.
