Was a few weeks ago when i last saw them there. NW Liquor is a smaller bottle shop and dont hold heaps of stock in the craft range. But I do help them move through their stock when i head there 🤣🤣🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirsty camel has Colonials and BWS tries, but only North West Caters to the Discerning Gentlemen. Sam gets in all the small batch beers ( and some not small batch ) . Population of around 15k including the surrounding communities last I heard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there's a craft brewery in Alice Springs now. Where was that when I was living there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul84 Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yeah we are getting a microbrewery coming to town shortly . They are just in the process of setting up their venue. Karratha has a few options as well, not just KFC (running joke in Hedland is thats the usual reason for visiting... or if you go down there for something important like the Doctors there is a mandatory 21piece bucket tax to leave town) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont be realistic prices 🤣🤣🤣. And i think it should be ok, some of the pubs here really need a face lift and brought up to todays standards. Plus all the pubs have a unique spin on them. Esplanade ( more a hotel with a beer garden) has grass and very "how you do" . Heddie has water to overlook ( and supposedly new management is making a huge deck to look at it instead of road and spinefex). The Walky is a mix of a workers bar and has a massive kids play centre out the back , good for when you dont wanna parent but still want to enjoy a beverage. The Last Chance is exactly that , the last chance to be in a bar before you have been kicked out of all of them, usually rougher community hang in there. I envision the new brewery will be a popular lunch , afternoon session place, just hope they dont put it in a dumb spot ( ill find out today when i go buy some weekend beers from Sam🤣🤣🤣) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn between a really good pub and a micro brewery. Some micros are awesome like Big Shed here in Adelaide, and some start out great and then get greedy and lose the plot like Pirate Life here and Brewdog in Brisbane. They get so big that you may as well be at Sizzler or Dreamworld with expensive beers. When it's like that I'd rather just go to a nice pub that has a good range of well cared for beers, attentive staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Rob Courtney Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 When I was at my brothers house for Xmas he had a few Grolsch swingtops that he was drinking (yes I brought them home) and I tried one as I used to think they were really good back in pre Brewart days. Time maybe made them a bit bette thsn they were but gee, a bit expensive for what they are 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 It’s my Friday night after a busy week which included the mad dash to Melbourne for Christmas Day. Purchased beers at the West Thebby now. 🥰 Covid booster tomorrow. 👎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 To beer or not to beer, that is the question? Sitting here waiting out the 15 minutes post Covid Booster period before I can get on with the day. It’s the festive season and will be hot. Surely a few beers this afternoon is acceptable … 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
