Mostly beers 🍻 and books 📚
Seasonal Brewing do a sensational oat cream IPA ("Nudi"), that is probably their flagship beer these days.

This is a new, berry infused version. A bit more acidic than the classic version, and missing that characteristic thickness I love in the style.

Some more Maylands street art by Anya Brock, that also features on my wall.

The wall is showing some wear and tear that wasn't there a couple of years ago.

A magnificent wild ale from a farm in Tasmania. Such a treat, this was delicious.

Two of the murals encountered while walking through my neighbourhood. The Bushell's sign was damaged by fire recently, and Henry's has closed, so who knows what the future holds for their mural. Both still here for now.

Perfect day for a guava sour from Slipstream Brewing in Queensland.

A stout with shiraz grapes. Quite sweet, and ends up tasting a little like a port. Very nice, but odd.

The fascinating, complex story of Australian museums, and an amateur butterfly collector who stole from these museums throughout the 1940s.

I'm still left wondering "why?", but there may not be a clear answer. People like this intrigue me!

A graphic novel adaptation the The Call of Cthulu, by H.P. Lovecraft .

Brilliant. Dark and enthralling, I didn’t want to put it down until it was finished.

I can't wait for someone to write the book about this England team, culminating in this Ashes series.

Baffling choices, obvious discontent, and impervious to feedback. What a shitshow.

A very nice XPA from Slipstream, in Queensland, paired with a chorizo and lentil stew.

I went with somelight light and refreshing on purpose, but not sure it worked. Next time, more complimentary, perhaps a porter.

Cooper's (South Australia) annual strong ale release is sometimes great, and sometimes pedestrian. I love that it's always different. This was middle of the road.

Great night for cricket, in a great stadium.

Not sure if it was horror, or Gothic fantasy, or another genre altogether. But it was a bit creepy.

Tomago (a Japanese egg sandwich), with a classic Belgian blonde. A great pairing with the sweetness from the mayonnaise complementing the beer really well.

It's almost time... during the year I squirrel away my 5 favourite beers, and test food pairings.

On New Year's Day I serve each beer with its own course. My friend Scott does the same.

It's a 10-course degustation to bring in 2026... stay tuned.
