Beer, Beer, Beer and Blogs

www.garyannettphotography.com/blog


There's a big overlap with my dA journals but the blog's just a little more professional hopefully and skewed towards the architecture market. Gotta pay the bills after all!

On that note, let's get as unprofessional as it gets and dedicate a whole entry to God's gift to man - Hops. Yeast. Barley & Water!


Beer, Beer & More Beer....


6 months of no booze and a house move later and I've finally been forced to abandon my college boy-esque 3-year collection of empty beer bottles.   I offer them up as a tantalizing list of Australia's best and brightest!

Each of them different, they have served as a checklist of some of the tastiest beers found on the streets of Melbourne. By no means exhaustive, these were just the beers that found their way home. 6-packs. 4-packs. And a few single-batch longnecks along the way. A whole treasure trove of beautiful beers found at restaurants and breweries and overseas were savoured and enjoyed but never brought home - and therefore did not make the list.

Those that did brought abundant buckets of joy - and the occasional hangover too.

Ballsy porters and stouts. Knock-your-socks off IPA's. Smooth and creamy Saisons and ESBs and delicious boutique brews of every taste and variety. These are the beers that have nursed me through cold winters, refreshed me on hot summer days and rewarded me at the end of busy weeks and not-so-busy holidays - each one of them a pleasure and little treasure in their own right. It has been a fun journey but time has come to bid them farewell…

I offer them up as a list of inspiration and adventure. So if you're of drinking age and sound mind, set down your Budwiesers, shake off those Coronas and go explore the world of beer waiting at your doorstep. You might just enjoy yourself along the way!
