    Bird Dog Beer

    I am not much of a beer drinker or should that be I do not drink much beer, but this took my eye today in the supermarket and with a label Bird Dog of course I had to buy it...awful price being $8.00 something a bottle but you expect the heftier price on boutique beers as opposed to the yeah rights and those of the same ilk...

    This pours a great thick head like a darn good cappucino, has hop and yeast aplenty, and at 6.5% I do not think I could drink another bottle without breaking into lurid song and risk having the dogs howl...I have actually done well to finish this one...but it is full flavoured, the hops leaving you in no doubt that you have well and truly consumed them with the rather tannicky (sp) finish on the palate but well worth the coin.

    Venison jerky, Paradise or Canada salami, with a good smelly cheese on a lovely loaf of ciabatta and you have it sorted!



    I am not sure even if we are allowed to do this sort of post...but in my zeal for the THE GUNDOG I have to make comment. Salut!!

    Not in the same class as a nice bottle of Black Grouse but I'm sure Shadow would drink it ,he drinks a good share on my lion red.

    Re: Bird Dog Beer

    Tui is ok i spos but i prefer beer!

    I will keep an eye out for it eebees. As i am maturing gracefully i am finding i enjoy a beer that has a flavor as opposed to the tasteless largers i cut my teeth on and our market is flooded with.

    That Emerson's is some good beer, the pilsener is bloody good too. Expensive but then if you get 3-4 bots down your doing real well. Haven't seen the dog one around (yet)
    Mark Emerson knocks around up Middlemarch way a fair bit and delivers to one of my locals, so it's always a couple of roadies on the way home.

    Do you think a bottle a day will make my dogs better bird dogs?

    It might make the trainer a better drinker.
    I was saving this for a drunken ramble from neckshot but I think its time to deploy it now
