In hindsight maybe I should have made some notes.
The hoppy one from Traralgon I can remember but there were a couple of others I'd like to try again.Cheers mate. Good to meet you again.

It was good. Funny how the small glass seemed to get bigger as we worked through the vouchers.

Bright breweries of course. Their wheat bear is yummy.
There was one particularly revolting beer there that I highly unrecommend however my memory is rather fuzzy as to which one it was..............

I really liked the hoppy one that was brewed in Traralgon but used NZ hops. Arctic Fox was good for something brewed in Dandenong
. Fairly much liked 95% of the stuff I tried. Was glad to see that there were loads of new ones producing a decent brew.Red Hill Scotch Ale was as good as ever.
Will definitely go again next year if it's on. Hats off to the Kennet Govt for making Victoria the best state for beer in Aus. Now we need to get the Federal government to change the excise laws to help the microbreweries.

Definitely. Although sadly when we went there the brewey tap was closed, had to try it in restaurants and bottle shops.
My next-door-neighbour and I went to the brewery tap of the 2 Brothers brewery in Moorrabbin the other day - the beer is great, but do not eat the german sausage unless you want to be really ill.
