When I blogged about the Quarrymans (http://craftbeerandpubguide.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/quarryman-pyrmont.html) I said I was drinking the Windjammer IPA from QLD (the brewery is called Green Beacon - click on the title to go to their website) and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well I ended up going back to the Quarrymans recently and randomly selected a wheat beer called the 'Wayfarer'. Well it turns out this beer is also from Green Beacon (honestly I didn't know this at the time of ordering).
As you can see in my other blog's (http://craftbeerandpubguide.blogspot.com.au/search/label/wheat%20beer), I always base a wheat beer against Hoegaarden and always said "I need to find an aussie beer to compare other wheat beers against..." Well readers, I have found my new 'baseline wheat beer' !!
THE WAYFARER.
What a great beer! Very much like European wheat beers, it has no real head to it and is cloudy in appearance and just a little bit of bitterness at the end. Fantastic, if you like a 'hoeggy' or many of the other Belgium / German wheat beers, you will love this one. Now, do they serve it in those massive thick pint glasses in the brewery bar (like Hoegaarden)??? I better head up to Brisvegas to find out...
Great work guys...
