Rob Courtney Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I stick a couple of bottles in each brew into "the mystery box" now labels, no pretences, no names, just drink and enjoy. Think I may have had a Lion City, if so, not bad but enjoying the cricket on, kids to bed, contemplating eggs and bacon for breakfast and at least another one or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Definitely a US Chiller this time, 8 weeks in and yeah, handy beer. Not a world beater by any means but handy none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Love the idea of the “mystery box”. I’ve always labelled mine, might follow your lead. Eggs and bacon, now you got me thinking. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that delicious beer will be a mystery, much like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and why a woman says when you are first dating " I really like a guy with a sense of humour" yet a year later screams in your face " Is everything a f@#king joke to you?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 First cab of the rank on Mystery Box Wednesday is a Weissbeer. Easily the best of the $17 beers...but I am partial to Wheat beer, distinctive flavour. Going to try and line the keg of this up for a hot night, Asahi pint glass, it will be a good session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Bottle of Weisbeer has cheered me up no end. Must be the last one and at 16 weeks is god damned delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Think this is the extra bitter Czech Pilsner...I'm calling this brew "Karen" because as soon as I opened the bottle I could hear a voice saying "I want to talk to the manager" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted March 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 You know what isn't a mystery? When you have a Belgian Lager in the mystery box! 3 months in secondary and just....There are times when you could just order 10 of those in one hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they might be West Coast Pale so I stuck one in the freezer, pulled it out and poured it as i was serving up tacos. Bloody Weisbeer, bit under 5 months. The wheat taste is very mild now but you could just session the bejesus out of it on a nice summers day. Still hold this as the best of the $17 beers and by a fair margin too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Maybe 5, maybe 6 weeks Boho lager... I like other brews a little bit more but this is the most under rated brew in the Brew print range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted April 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Two more sips...seriously Under rated. If anyone asked me which lager to brew, I'd tell them to brew Belgian, if you asked me which lager to impress your friends at 7 weeks secondary, this, Birra, Belgian and Lawnmower would be in the frame...and you wouldn't be wrong whichever one you picked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted January 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Been mucking around throwing mixed boxes together and for the guy who remember peoples phone numbers and emails in my head (but not so much where I left my effin' keys and if I could just find the god damned glasses maybe I could find them) so yeah, no idea what this stubbie is. Been mucking around with hops mixes too much to just go "Oh that's a...". Think it's an Aussie premium...but whatever, a very nice brew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
