So the last time I was in the Lord Nelson, it was after watching a show at the Sydney Theatre Company and my wife asked if I had blogged about this place to which I said "No", manly because everyone knows that the Lord Nelson is such an institution and really is the home of microbrewing that I never felt the need to blog about it. But, as it is my number one place to go to in Sydney (http://craftbeerandpubguide.blogspot.com.au/p/my-top-5-places.html) , I felt I really should blog about it...

| It is old school rocks, stone walls and wooden beams |
 |
| I honestly think it is the French Flag, but it cant be as I can't see a link to France... one day I will bother to ask... I think it nautical linked... |
 |
| Cheese anyone? Also, what you reckon the guy at the back is describing? I will leave the jokes to you... |
So, I don't often have the 3 Sheets when I come here, as (thankfully) you find it more and more often in other pubs, so I often go for a Quayle Ale - it's a summery light beer. To describe it, I would say "Really light bodied (think Hawthorns Golden Ale + a light tasting European pilsner lager) and really fruity (think Stone & Wood Pacific Ale aroma)" and you get the general idea of this beer. In the middle of winter I wasn't feeling the Quayle Ale, so I went back to the 3 Sheets. The thing is, it is a really great Pale Ale, and I need to drink it more when I come here as I love it. I might even say it one of the original "session ales" - you are so happy drinking a pint (or 2, 3 or 5) of this stuff it makes you remember why massed produced beer needs to disappear... Why people choose a beer like Carlton over a beer like the 3 Sheets is beyond me...
Oh, that's another reason to come here - it serves pints, and not South Australian sized "pints" real pints. O for Awesome.

| 3 Sheets |
So, if you are anywhere near the Rocks, or trying to decide where to go for a few jars, this place should be top of your list. And, if you see 3 Sheets in your local, grab one and enjoy.
