I’m looking forward to tasting the new Hazy IPA limited release New England IPA by Coopers Brewery. Ahtanum & Strata hops give it tangerine, orange & citrus & exotic fruit flavours as well as a decent IBU level of around 38. Available in 4-packs from 17 August. #NEIPA

Can you drink older beer? Well that depends on what the beer is. Generally, darker, more bitter and more alcoholic beers age well. Light easy-drink beers are best fresh. Beers like Coopers Brewery Vintage Ale are excellent after 10 years. Here's my comparison of 2010, 2015 & 2020

Beer Aid. Proceeds for this delicious Bridge Road Brewers Beechworth Pale Ale goes to bushfire relief. Does that mean it should be tax deductible? πŸ€”
