The free public transport in Victoria next month is going to make Pint of Origin even better value. #beer #ozbeersky

The @craftypint.com Pint of Origin program is now live. Going to make the effort once again to get all 22 (even the secret 23rd stamp this year as well). pintoforigin.com #Beer #ozbeersky
A really great article about something that is very timely in beer atm. Some breweries are using AI art for all aspects of their product and it's becoming very easy to spot. #beer #ozbeersky
A glass of beer next to a bottle of Wildflower.
A Saturday night playing the switch, watching footy and drinking this from Wildflower. Life is truly sweet. #beer #ozbeersky
Feel this is an interesting tack for 3 Ravens to go down because the subtext is just text. Hop Nation have nailed Melbourne Black in terms of the beer and overall marketing and it just comes off as a bit of sour grapes and I really like 3 Ravens. www.instagram.com/p/DWnp9XMFVW... #beer #ozbeersky
If anyone is after some truly world class wild ales, Wildflower is having their final museum sale. wildflowerbeer.com/collections/... #beer #ozbeersky
The first beer after a 3 day school camp and the start of the school holidays is one that has been well and truly earned. #beer #ozbeersky
An amaretto sour from Dollar Bill.
Truly love this from Dollar Bill. It’s going to be a sad beer space in Australia when they’re gone. #beer #ozbeersky
Dollar Bill brewing are winding up at the end of the year. Another Australian brewery who plays in the wild ale space gone. It’s a different time and world that’s for sure. www.instagram.com/p/DWYfnn2gAj... #beer #ozbeersky
Feel Australian beer right now is in an interesting place and there are some big success stories happening right now. Would say Hop Nation’s Melbourne Black is probably one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in a while. Who else out there is kicking goals? #beer #ozbeersky
Ultimately though, there is some truly amazing independent beer in this country that I wish more people would get the opportunity to connect with and when a venue organisation now owns 200+ venues nationally it can't help but create a souless sameness that doesn't help anyone. #beer #ozbeersky
Think the last few weeks I've been reminiscing a lot about the Melbourne beer scene and it has so many amazing positive moments and memories that when you start to lose big pieces of it, you can't help but be reflective. #beer #ozbeersky
It'll turn into another generic and souless AVC venue with the most adventurous (and independent) thing being the 6 pack of 3 coopers beers in the fridge. It's role in helping shape so much of the past 15 years in Melbourne beer can't be forgotten. #beer #ozbeersky
Feel the closure/rebranding of Beer Deluxe is just going to lead to an even more generic Australian Venue Co popping up in it's place. It's sad because it was such a big part of the Melbourne independent beer scene for so long. #beer #ozbeersky www.instagram.com/p/DVqGqcqjxY...
Another day and another brewery under offer. This is absolutely 3 Ravens and it kind of doesn't surprise me. #beer #ozbeersky australia.businessesforsale.com/australian/u...
A glass of beer next to a can of beer.
Absolutely love this hoppy Pilsner from KAIJU for International Women’s day. #beer #ozbeersky #iwd26
4) Moon Dog Wild West being a venue. May 15th-24th is going to be such a fun time. pintoforigin.com #beer #ozbeersky
Preordered a carton of this a couple of days ago. KAIJU and Hoppy Pilsners equals happiness. #beer #ozbeersky kaijubeer.com.au/collections/...
A bottle and glass of wildflower
Beer like this from Wildflower is why I love beer because the link to community and place shines through and it represents what beer can be. What else has everybody had that pushes the notion of what beer can be? wildflowerbeer.com/products/st-... #beer #ozbeersky
A bottle of Gather ye Rosebuds by Wildflower.
Drinking Wildflower at the moment makes me reflective about everything that beer can be. The Australian scene is far greater with Wildflower as a part of it because their link to people and place is a philosophy we should all strive for. #beer #ozbeersky
As a treat for getting through a full week as Year 7 co-ordinator, I ordered this from Wildflower. Feel I might order a couple more over the next couple of months. wildflowerbeer.com/products/mon... #beer #ozbeersky
This is a sad moment for the Australian brewing scene with Wildflower shutting up shop in Marrickville and going on a hiatus to potentially reopen in a regional centre. This one really hits hard. wildflowerbeer.com/blogs/blog/w... #beer #ozbeersky
A glass and bottle of Boatrocker Ramjet.
Went out and grabbed a Boatrocker Ramjet 2020 that is fading but is still delivering on flavour. Gradually shrinking the fridge week by week. #beer #ozbeersky
The NZ #h100beers is done and dusted and the lack of breweries entering or caring is on clear display. Like Australia as well, a very clear and obvious number 1. #beer #ozbeersky gabshottest100.com/nzresults/20...
The NZ version of the GABS Hottest 100 is out today and a perfect encapsulation of the declining role of GABS with so few breweries entering their beers. gabshottest100.com/nzresults/20... #beer #ozbeersky
A glass of perpetual desire by wildflower
The description of the beer.
Week one done and dusted. This from Wildflower is everything I’m craving right now. Two blended ales aged on rhubarb, cherries and ruby red Grapefruit. So easy drinking yet so beautiful. What’s everyone else enjoying this weekend? #beer #ozbeersky
Feel it might be the last countdown in its current form. Mountain Culture being at the top is a good thing as they both push the boundaries and have a solid core range of beers that allow them to do both. #beer #ozbeersky #h100beers
Ultimately, get out there and enjoy some great beer in Australia with great people as there is so much world class stuff right under our noses. Speaking of which, I might go crack a couple of beers now. #beer #ozbeersky
7) Ultimately, beer is about finding what you enjoy and who you enjoy it with. I know tonight I can either grab a Hazy Pale, A 5 year old imperial stout or a complex wild Ale all from Australian breweries and I'd be happy with each and every choice. #beer #ozbeersky
6) Feel that this might be the last year of the countdown which would be a huge shame because GABS hasn't pushed it to breweries or punters the same way this year and with GABS on pause it's going to struggle to come back. #beer #ozbeersky
