BREWDOG

ZEITGEIST
Get a few of these bad boys in your beer cellar
in preparation for winter, this beer will warm
you up and rip your tastebuds a new one!
You’ll get the Chocolate & Coffee predominately
on the palate, with a pleasant creamy mouth-feel
to finish the job..

Serving suggestion: let this one sit out of the
fridge for 10 minutes or so to bring
out some of those toasty malt flavours.
SINGLE --- $3.99
4 PACK --- $14.99


MAC’S BLACK

This New Zealand Brew is another good
one to put away for the Winter chill..
Don’t be scared off by the idea of ‘Black Beer’
if you’re not a stout person, this beer has
a inviting hop bitterness that backs onto
a long lingering dark malt character
that powers on through the tasting.
And for this price, it’s an absolute bargin!



WAS $59.99 Per Carton of 24
NOW $34.99
PER CARTON!
$9.99 PER 6 PACK!


Cheers & Happy Drinking,

The Awesome Foursome
Nillumbik Beer Bulletin Four

A while ago there was some debate online as to who
might qualify for Australia’s Top Beer! The Competition
was fierce, but I have short-listed these four beers
 in the hope that you will decide for yourself.

*Also, this is probably a good time to mention
that we have started a beer Blog
It will contain most of the information that you
already receive in the beer bulletin emails, but also
a few extra reviews and some new beer additions added
to the shelves of Nillumbik from week to week

McLaren Vale Ale


In January, the Vale Ale was voted winner of the
hottest 100 at St. Kilda’s Local taphouse ‘Spectapular.’
If this isn’t proof enough of quality, Chef’s & critics
alike are raving about the beers’ balance and for lack
of a better word, “matchability” with food.
“A great beer that will refresh, satisfy and cleanse
all at the same time. Award winning,
I think so.” -According to www.beerbureau.com
Four Pack $16.99
Carton Price $59.99

Feral Hop Hog


Classic full-flavoured American Style IPA, this one really
packs a punch. Great hop-driven bitterness teamed with
a floral bouquet that opens up nicely with bitter orange
zest when served in a Tulip or Pilsner style glass.
Great anytime or enjoy this beer with a hot Indian Curry.
Four Pack $16.99
Carton Price $59.99

Stone & Wood Pacific Ale


Voted No.1 in Australia’s Best Beers ‘Critics Choice
TOP 100’ This beer has a massive drinkability factor.
With the addition of Galaxy Hops & dry hopping in
its final stages, this beer brings about a distinctively
fruity aroma. Perfect as a session beer, or get yourself
into some of the Stone & Wood lager.
Six Pack $19.99
Carton Price $69.99

Little Creatures Pale Ale


I believe we’re all familiar with Little Creatures, anyone
In the craft beer scene will sympathise with me when I
say that LCPA has been key to the conversion of many
‘old school’ beer minds, and will always be remember
as one of the first big classic Pale Ale styles to hit the
Australian craft beer scene.
Six Pack $19.99
Carton Price $64.99
