outlook not so good

Apparently DM has Magic Hat now also

 

It's brewed by Genesee as part of their craft line. It's not great but can be a good cheap IPA.

 

Honey Brown can not be too far behind!!!!!!!!
Nothing great. Already had one

 

Probably no un-coincidentally, Magic Hat is now owned by the same parent company as the Dundee line from Genesee Brewing Co. - North American Breweries.

 

Odd is the pricepoint that both came in at. Really cheap. On par or lower than a lot of Aussie craft

 

Pricepoint isnt that odd. When you consider that DM is probably a test case and if its successful it will be moved to all of the BWS stores etc. You buy a large amount of it initially, or at least arrange a certain price based on what you potentially could order, the economies of scale kick in. Plus, if its first entering the market, the distributor will be willing to drop the wholesale a touch to gain a foothold.

Plus, you want to keep the (real) craft stuff a touch higher, so as to give it that elitist touch.

Not that I would know anything about this or anything. Just a few guesses.

 

Yeah, it's not great by any means. Especially by the time it reaches your neck of the woods.

 

Not sure why it is classed as an American IPA? I got distinct herbal/earthy notes I normally associate with EKG or Styrian Goldings. Maybe a little spicy american hop flavour in there, but it was mostly a british hop profile, and certainly the malt profile to go with it...

 

Nasum and Old Rasputin sounds like an awesome combo.

On a side note, I for one can not believe they are touring now. Come on, Mieszko was an integral part of that band and it's disrespectful to his memory.

 

its ok, but nothing I would rush out again for.

 

I don't think I've really enjoyed any of the Dundee stuff.

 

Surprised to see my local Woolworths Liquor stocking Magic Hat #9, Dundee IPA and the Wingwalker APA & Belgian Wheat.

Didn't think it would be rolled out so soon to presumably all Woolworths owned liquor stores.

 

I think Woolworths had to audit them to ensure they were of sufficiently low quality before they could stock them

 

Just to toe the company line like a good little worker bee...... You mean the Woolworth stores like Dan Murphy's that have expanded their craft range massively, thereby bringing craft at a lower price and making it more accessable for the masses (and your good selves of course)?

Or the Woolworths that owns my 'store'? The 'store' that seems to have quite a large range of beers on tap that you seem to find desirable?

 

Not apologising for saying Liquorland is crap...because it is. Craft free zone. Personally I never go to Dan Murphys. I guess they stock the base SN range...but I don't like it very much anyway.

As for your "store" (not actually sure which one you're from), unfortunately it contributes nothing to me as it is inaccessible!

 

Sorry, I thought you were referring to Dan Murphy's. They've gotten a lot better recently. Yes, they have the intro Sierra Nevada range, as well as Brew Dog, 4 Pines, Mt Goat and Murray's. It's a lot better then it was 5 years ago. Progress.

Im from the Sail and Anchor.

Sorry about the snarkiness. Counting tills in the morning on a back to back shift with 4hrs sleep does that too me.

Plus, you havnt had a fight with Mr scmorgan recently, so someone had to pick one with you.

 

Don't get the hate on woolies thing at all. Can by mastsos LC and feral complete ranges at both bws and woolies liquor here in WA. Now that I think about it lc full range and hop hog and feral white were in liquorland as well so not a total waste land
