Great Aussie Tinnie Taste Test 2018


From Fairfax Media's goodfood site:

The Great Australian Tinnie Taste Test 2018


and linking from it

Top 20 Aussie tinnies for 2018


I can't profess to having tried even half of these, but I can certainly vouch for:

  • Young Henry's Newtowner
  • Balter IPA
  • Philter XPA
Shame they couldn't get through their planned schedule. The penultimate paragraph in the first article states:

"The target was to taste 100 cans that provided a wide snapshot of the domestic brewing market. However, when palate (and general) fatigue kicked in, stumps had to be pulled. (It's with regret that brilliant independent brewers such as Batch, Modus Operandi, Akasha and Bridge Road were not tasted on the day, in spite of a sterling effort from the panel.)"

I've got no issue with this per se.... one can get a bit jaded after a while when tasting a wide range (not to mention other possible effects). But, yes, regrettable to miss Modus (and the others too). 

I'm a big fan of and regular customer at the Mona Vale brewery, and believe the Former Tenant Red IPA would have been a shoe-in for the Top 5, at the very least.

The article's a good read, nonetheless.
