On 11 August I visited Your Mates Brewing Co. bar, The Basement in Nambour, Queensland. They have a good range of other brewers’ craft beers as well as some of their own. The beers that I sampled were:
1. Larry, 4.8% abv, Larry is a Pale Ale that the brewery will be launching in cans from tomorrow. It has a golden colour and a lovely sweet tropical fruit aroma. It has a wonderful sweet fruity flavour with a gentle hop bitterness on the finish. Very, very drinkable!
2. Donnie, 4.8% abv, Donnie is a Dark Ale with a dark brown colour and an aroma of coffee and malt. It has a wonderful full malt flavour of dark chocolate and espresso. Quite lovely!
The brewery also produces a Red Ale and an IPA, but they were not available while I was there. The owners, Matt and Christan are doing a wonderful job and wish them all the best for the Larry can launch tomorrow. I would like to thank Daniel, the man running the bar, for his excellent service and his obvious enthusiasm for his job. He really is a great ambassador for Your Mates Brewery.
