Along with Bridge Road Saison, LC Roger's Beer and Stone and Wood Draught. Mountain Goat Surefoot Stout, on tap at the brewery, was head and shoulders above everything else... an absolutely perfect showcase of every ingredient. I could have had ten pints!<br /><br />Thoughtful blog.

(hmmm...typed a reply earlier...but it seems to have disappeared...so sorry if you get this twice!)<br /><br />Yes, the goat curry was indeed delicious and so well suited to the Holgate beers! (However, it's the first time I ever recall having goat...so I don't have anything to really compare it to.)<br /><br />I'm much the same, very much have the taste for hops at the moment...but the smooth malt-driven Holgate brews really provide a unique taste and texture, separating them from the wealth of hoppy brews throughout the Aussie craft beer market. So it's great to have that added local dimension.<br /><br />Have you ever been out to Holgate? I just absolutely love that it is a true functioning microbrewery and a traditional pubs. I love pubs so much, but there are few "classic pubs" like Holgate left where you can sit at a bar and drink brilliant beer.<br /><br />Very true about the Randall, it's cute as. My other rather reckons she could recreate it using parts from a fish tank. haha.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045364768736929983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511121585872592861.post-17386378810327932272010-06-23T06:31:49.915+10:002010-06-23T06:31:49.915+10:00Great post James.

I'm finding I really dig that style. <br /><br />And how cute is their Randall, even though it's so small compared to Mountain Goat's?<br /><br />Oh sweet Temptress. Maybe I haven't drunk enough of it, but I've yet to get bored of it. Awesome choice for dessert!Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162014118452070823noreply@blogger.com
