Keg and Brew

I was slightly unsure of going to this place; I was worried it would be a 'fad' place - like so many places that get the "latest popular magazine/website favourite place tag" it is often all PR and not a lot of substance. Never-the-less, I met up with a friend mid week and I have to say this place is AMAZING. I actually think it might become my new number one beer venue!

There are a lot of taps in this place!

AND even more taps here...

When you walk in to this place, you get dazed staring at all the taps behind the bar that you don't even notice the animals on the wall!!

It's a bison!

Theres a moose loose around this hoose! Hehehe

This is such an easy place to get to from Central Station, if you are looking for somewhere with easy transport links -  this place is a solid choice. The sheer volume of beer on tap made me realise how many beers there are to try and blog about! Speaking to the bar staff they also say that the beers often change which is excellent and the number of Australian States and countries from around the world represented made it a bit of Craft Beer World Cup... 

As you can see, I am loving this place and have actually been back since I took the photos etc and I can promise you it is just a great pub (I don't often go to the same pub in quick succession... I like to keep trying new places as often as possible).  

So the first beer I tried was their 'Beer of the Week' - Young Cub from Arctic Fox. It looks like a Coopers Green and it also reminds me of a flatter version of it too. It has very gentle flavours and aromas (there are some citrus smells and a little hint of wheat) which makes it a really easy beer to drink and I think will do well with people new to craft beer, people that normally drink wine and also people stuck somewhere on a really humid day and needing a beer to refresh.

It is a really cloudy beer like a Coopers Green...

I then moved onto the Arctic Fox Rye Ale. I have to say, I am loving the whole Rye Ale trend going on at the moment, this is a beautiful beer. Like a good Rye Ale, this beer has a little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste with strong sweet rye notes upfront. It is medium bodied and dark golden in colour. I hadn't heard of Arctic Fox before, but I will look out for it in the future.

A then finished the night with Bridge Road Pale Ale. I am a fan of Bridge Road and I like to finish a mid week beer session with beers that isn't hop overloaded, as I don't want to wake up the next morning tasting hops... The Bridge Road is a lighter Pale Ale with a light golden colour and a head that keeps. It is a really smooth tasting beer with a light hops taste upfront that gently dies away. It is a perfect finishing beer to a great night catching up with a friend in one of my new favourite pubs...

Well, I am really glad I tried KB, what a great pub that I will just keep coming back to... 

The outside has kept its traditional routes...
