Hawthorn Premium Pale Ale

Today's photo was submitted by the guys over at Back of the Ferry. As you can probably tell from the photo, Back of the Ferry is a Sydney based beer blog. I'm fascinated by the craft beer revolutions going on in other parts of the globe, so their blog is a real interesting read. Plus they take some great photos. The beer in this photo is Hawthorn Premium Pale Ale out of Melbourne and it was voted into the Top Ten of Australian Craft Beer last year. BOTF says the beer is "It is as face-slappingly refreshing" and it "has wonderful citrus laced bitterness". Sounds good. Who wants to go to Australia with me?

Beertography of the Week - March 21st

This week's User Beertography takes us back down under to the great country of Australia. In our last Australian-based post, we pondered over the existence of great beer in Oz. Well, thanks to the gang over at Back of the Ferry, we now know that there is in fact great beer in Australia.



The guys posted some interesting stuff on our previous Aussie post:

There's no shortage of good beer and great brewers in Australia right now. Victoria leads the way with new breweries opening all the time. I subscribe to Beer Advocate, but much of our stellar stuff wouldn't make it onto Beer Advocate. Blue Tongue is not an Australian beer benchmark by any stretch. It is a wannabe macro.


Murrays Craft Brewing Company, Bridge Road, Matilda Bay, 2 Brothers, Hawthorn, Holgate, True South - mate the list s endless. Subscribe to the Crafty Pint for updates on the burgeoning brewing scene in this country.


Yep, cider's also gone mad, but craft beer is going greater guns. Check out backoftheferry.wordpress.com We've coined the term beerporn and there's some great examples.

Yup, they refer to it as Beer Porn, which is just fine by me. But some of their shots could be referred to as Scenery Porn while we're at it...some spectacular views.
