First cab off the rank for our little
jaunt was Taminick Cellars, slightly off the beaten path from
Glenrowan and in a beautiful country surrounding.
It's a gorgeous little building among
the vines which is abuzz at the current stage due to it being the
middle of the vintage season for the winemakers who also happen to be
the beer makers.
There was a wine paired lunch in
progress when we arrived, about 30 people enjoying what looked like
some delicious meals and I kind of wished I was staying for the meal.
However, we were here for a purpose so
we organised some tasters of the range that was on offer at the
current stage.
The Lazy Dog Ale was tasting really
refreshing with a good bitterness and the warm weather of the day
made this a very popular choice of the day.
The Howling Pale was fantastic. Fresh
and hoppy, this is he best that I've tasted it and this is likely due
to being extremely fresh. A cracking pale ale that I'll be delighted
to see it get some larger distribution once head brewer James gets
his new 10HL brewery set up.
The star of the show was the Dead Dog
Stout that was being poured through the hand pump. Delightfully
smooth with the dominance of coffee roast asserting itself to created
a smooth as silk stout. Not at all weather appropriate for this one,
but this was not an issue for us because it was delicious.
Back to business, we're hittin' the
road.
I think it's cheese time.
