Asahi Super Dry

In developing Asahi Super Dry, over five thousand people were interviewed about their likes and dislikes about beer. They found that consumers were starting to favor a clean, crisp taste over a full-bodied taste. (People defined clean and crisp as “refreshing drinkability and no aftertaste,” while full-bodied tasted meant “the deep flavor of beer.”) Asahi took this consumer information and gave it to their brewmaster, who then set off to make a truly unique beer.They created Super Dry, which had a crisp, clean taste while still retaining a full-bodied flavor. It was beer that could go well with many kinds of food. In fact, instead of using bread as a palate cleanser during their taste tests, Asahi prepared Japanese, Western and Chinese food to sample with a cold Super Dry.

Outback Chilli Beer

When we here at Thirsty For Beer.com first gazed eyes on this chilli beer the first thought was "wow that could be cool" but although the concept was there the greatness sadly wasn't.

Bluetongue Lager

November 3rd, 2008

This full falvourned lager is well balanced, having notable up-front malt character, complemented with a distinctive crisp bitterness. The beer finishes with a subtle hop character, as a result of a later addition of imported hops. The beer is straw in colour and very palatable. What sets this truly Australian lager apart from other beer is its original taste and purity. Bluetongue is produced in the finest traditions of quality Hunter Valley products. It is [....]
