Whilst I like the flo with ales, I prefer bottles with the lagers, just the carbonation and taste comes off a treat. As to Strop, there would be no Hoges, no World Series Cricket or Crocodile Dundee without him...I mean sure, Hoges wrote it and starred in it but Strop Cornell was the business brain. As to comedy though, have always felt only a very intelligent person can play an idiot for laughs well, in the 70s it was Strop and Gary MacDonald ( Norman Gunston) who did that and Cornell did Strop so very well. Usually comedy dilutes over the year but I have a bit of Hoges ( and Les Patterson) on DVD and video, the comedy (in Les Pattersons case stands up very well) but with Hoges, Cornells work is still very, very good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been really looking forward to having a beer all week and to be honest, could drink this print all week long, either with Hallertau as a Bavarian lager or Saaz as Bohemian, just delicious. Poured my first overflow bottle of this one tonight at 6 weeks. Big white fluffy head. Impressive. Otherwise the appearance is the same as your photo. The Czech Saaz are great. This is a very nice lager. I can see this being really good in some warmer weather accompanying a BBQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first beer I brewewd that I drank the whole keg and I thought "yep, that is better than what I can buy" It was the first time I was just stoked I bought Brewart, before that, i had brewed some nice beers, some good beers but my first Bohemian, I knew I brewed great beers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tastes like a “beer” and a well made one at that. So you could safely serve it to you neighbour at a BBQ without being concerned that they’re just drinking it to be polite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 8 weeks is spot on thanks @Rob Courtney Had to steal the wife’s for the photo. Mine is gone already. Carbonation is great too. I reckon once move over to stainless steel kegs I’ll still naturally carbonate a few brews. I like the taste and think Brewart have got it spot on with the new primer bricks. Will brew this one again. Perfect for a BBQ or watching the footy with friends. I mean, you can’t serve them 7.5% IPAs all day otherwise they’ll need to stay the night … I don’t like them that much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the funny thing, same recipe but add Hallertau instead of Saaz and at 4 weeks you have an exceptional beer, I could spend the last 8 weeks of summer with just those two (Stupid Brewart with their damned varities) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First keg of the BoHo is almost gone which is fortunate as I now need some keg space for completed brews. I'll have to add this one to the top something Brewart recipes list if I ever make one. A great beer. Thanks for the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Loving this, hot day, wife got a new job...do i need any more reasons to drink? Last one of these 12 weeks in and just sensational. On a side note, went and got the wife a few Midori things for her to celebrate with so I had a quick check on beer prices. Kinda glad I went the Brewart route but imagine doing it now...you'd make your money back in six months 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 After umpiring and then fielding a lot to day in 37 degree heat (100F) I just needed a larger before the summer ale and even though this is just 3 weeks it still delivers. It'll' get better but this was a welcome beer after a cold shower. Oh yeah, that is the last time I am playing cricket in that temp again, too old can't do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cricket, I really do, little better than getting a ton or taking a five for but yeah, too old, better off going to the beach with the kids in that weather from now on. Except of course when I'm at the beach stupid Greenpeace are trying to push me back into the water the fat shaming buggers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing was a game changer for me. Zero hop matter or sediment in my beers now ever. I reckon a quick and easy product line update for Brewart would be to add some different gauge filter inserts to their offering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
