TASTING NOTES
There were few Aussie mullets that were more magnificent in the 80s than that of tennis superstar Pat Cash. Pat Pash Sour Ale combines literally tonnes of passion fruit (4.2 tonnes to be exact), with that iconic checkered headband and of course those luscious locks! The flavour is short and tart upfront and long and passion fruit-y at the back!
BREWERY SNAPSHOT
Two violin-playing brothers and their marvellously monikered mate have set out to create beers that meld styles, use all manner of unusual ingredients and frequently get to see the inside of barrels before being unleashed. In keeping with their unique ethos, Josh and Jake Uljans and Karl van Buuren have also situated their microbrewery in a spot equidistant between Carlton United Breweries headquarters and the Duchess brothel. What’s more, they’ve put it together from parts that include those used for seaweed-based cosmetics and an open fermentation tank from the former Wagga Wagga brewery that hasn’t been operational in around 80 years.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Moon Dog Brewery and Bar in Abbotsford, VIC offers free popcorn, a giant projector screen which drops down during key sporting events and a table tennis table which gets wheeled out in quieter periods. Plus, there’s a Pizza van out the front! What more could you want?
