Beercast #25 – Blackman’s Brewery Showcase

It’s Simmo’s turn to supply the goods this week. Being the thoughtful, nostalgia fiend he is, he transported us back to a friends holiday on the front steps of Torquay’s Blackman’s Brewery.

You might think this is ‘just another IPA’ Beercast… And you’d be correct.

However we have a very justifiable reason. Today we sipped and savoured 3 beers from Blackman’s JUST ANOTHER IPA series, enjoying some unique hop combinations in BIG BOY 500ml cans.

Like always, we looked deep into the history of the brewery, gave some super amateur tasting notes and waxed lyrical about ocean piss, East Kent Golding origins and Goanna parties. (It’ll make sense when you listen).

Thank you to Blackman’s for a delicious afternoon and The Lane Cellars for access to the brews.

The lineup consisted of:

Just Another IPA 1 – Citra + Motueka

Tropical fruit meets lemon, lime & spice, with a clean bitterness for your drinking pleasure.

500ml | 6.5% ABV

Just Another IPA 2 – Simcoe + Topaz

Resinous pine meets berry and citrus spice with a clean bitterness for your drinking pleasure!

500ml | 6.5% ABV

Just Another IPA 3 – Mosaic + East Kent Golding

It’s unlikely you’ll see these two hops very often in a beer and the outcome is a winner! Old English charm with a touch of earthy spice meets the new world onslaught of tropical mosaic!

500ml | 6.5% ABV
