Chur Straya Hazy IPA

TASTING NOTES

Gidday Straya! This Tinny is for me mates ‘cross the ditch. Some blokes and sheilas are still in iso, using sanny to avoid the rona right now. They just wanna watch the footy, as Straya without Rugbah Leeg ain’t Straya. Aussies wanna have mates over for a barbie with an esky full of frothies and listen to some Aca-daca after a day of hard yakka. Dead set, fair dinkum, true blue Aussies just wanna have a ripper of a time being able to go down to the bott-lo to get some coldies (and maybe a goon) but some are out their being bloody galahs that can’t be stuffed following the rules. This beer is choca-bloc of Strayan hops. Galaxy and Vic Secret. Think heaps (ok lots of slang is both Aussie and Kiwi) of Pineapple and other tropical fruit flavours and aromas and a juicy mouth feel. Don’t worry Straya we are sending you some of this under Chur Brewing Company as some drongos have the Behemoth Trademark over there (put the phone down Russell!). But she’ll be right, we should probably just tell them to get stuffed, but we can’t be stuffed. We will just let them play old knifey spoony. Think we will ever stop taking the piss? Nah tell ’em he’s dreamin! PS “I got stopped at the Strayan border and asked if I have a criminal conviction. I said “I didn’t know it was still compulsory” PPS if you are reading this in ‘Straya thank you very much for taking the time to read this, we know you are busy trying to remember who your Prime Minister is right now. But…

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Behemoth Brewing (Chur) and Andrew Childs are synonymous. He is the owner, brewer, and beer giraffe of Behemoth Brewing Company in New Zealand. But, how did he get this whole thing going? Well, he had been a big fan of good beer for a long time (dating back to when he collected beer glasses as an 11 year old with a paper run) and one day decided to turn his obsession into a career.

DID YOU KNOW?

In late 2015 Andrew and brewing buddy Jason, from McLeod’s, were involved in a horrible brewing accident while brewing Behemoth’s first lot of In Ya Face Double IPA, they both received burns to around 40% of their bodies and spent a long time in a hospital. A full recovery for both is near and Andrew thanks everyone, the Behemoth fan club, for the love and support during that trying time. It’s taking a couple of years, but he says that he knows the accident has just re-enforced his calling in life. Beer!
