BEER REVIEWS: John Boston Premium Lager

Country - Australia

Percentage - 4.9%

Brewing Company - John Boston Premium Beverages

The peculiar matter with this beer is that both John Boston and James Squire claim to have brewed beer first in Australia. John Boston, his wife and three children arrived as part of the Second Fleet and shortly after his arrival began to brew beer out of malted maize and stalks of lycopesican. This venture was so successful that in September 1796 he built a windmill on his 170 acres to develop his venture into a business "To no surprise he would become the first man to brew beer in Australia."
When poured this is a gold colour beer with a white head and good effervescence. There is a mild aroma of barley. On tasting this is a clean crisp beer that washes down better than allot of the other Australian lagers on the market. This is an enjoyable lager, perhaps the best yet! Overall the beer is NOT a complex one but this performs the simple things best.

Verdict - Great

Rants, information and shit like that...

This Blog might seem a bit disorganised for a while, it is still very much in the construction stage but stick around because good things are to come.

At the bottom of this page click on the 'More Beer' button to see more reviews, because we've just got too many for one page.

These reviews are shaped by our personal tastes and so you should know that both Maca and myself don't find Belgium styled beer particularly appetising and Maca is not a fan of dark beers. Also we both think ginger beers are fucked.

To see some our funnier reviews have a look at anything that scored less than good, we usually go to town on these beers.

If you feel that we've got it wrong feel free to comment on any of our reviews, we're always up for another tasting to see if you have a valid point.

It is important to look close at the beers you are buying. Many beers that you think are imported may be brewed under license and these beers are nowhere near as good as there imported brothers, so always look for the 'Imported' logo. When shopping it's well worth the small amount extra you'll pay.

You may of heard someone say 'why pour a beer? Its already in a glass' well those people need to understand is that to get full flavour out of your beer, aroma is key and the only way to truly appreciate the aroma is to pour it. So everyone pour it if you can and tell any wanker that says that to 'fuck off'.

If you've had look at this blog and are thinking... gee it would be nice to try some of these beers that i've seen here but i really can't afford it, well we think you need to get your priorities in order, however here's a top tip from Maca and myself. We brew our everyday drink at a local Brew By You, a chain of microbreweries that allow you to use their equipment and their recipes to brew excellent quality beer for only half the regular price. So the money we save we put into buying new untried beers. This is a great option for someone who wants to make there wallet a bit heavier, get involved in the brewing process or reduce your intake of preservatives This is good for your health but it also reduces the effects of a hangover.
