March 28, 2011 by Matt Kirkegaard 3 Comments

It lost its title of ‘Best Australian Lager’ in somewhat controversial circumstances in this year’s Local Taphouse Hottest 100, but Knappstein Reserve Lager has reclaimed the top lager spot – and the title of Australia’s 5th best beer – in the Critics’ Choice list. I’m not sure whether it’s that lagers just don’t get much… Read more →

Revealing the Critics’ Choice: #6

Beer styles are a funny thing. We need style definitions so that we can describe a beer and categorise it, and even to have beer competitions, but slavish adherence to style just stifles innovation and fossilises beer.

Beer number 11 in the Critics’ Choice has been announced, and it is Mountain Goat Hightail Ale. Critics’ Choice Editor-at-large and Australian Brews News contributor, Peter Mitcham, said it’s the beer’s “rich amber, generous hop character and refreshing drinkability that  make it an easy inclusion in anybody’s ‘Top List’.
