Little Creatures 'Rogers Beer'<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

‘Rogers’ is another fantastic session beer, down at 3.8% booze. (Even if it does, like the Cooper’s beers, have apparent apostrophe issues.) It’s a charming ruby brown, with light hoppy- and malty-ness. Sits comfortably beside an Emerson’s Bookbinder, but isn’t so ‘English’ (somehow), as fits the climate of the place it’s made.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, Toby is in the background there preparing Steak Tartar, which was a smashing success. And to re-balance the universe after making a meal out of raw steak, he busied his barbeque by making Pavlova on it. Which was, if not a smashing success, at least vastly better than anyone thought it’d be. He’s like some sort of Domestic Mad Scientist.<\/p>\n

Diary entry #54, Little Creatures Rogers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> Little Creatures Roger’s. 5\/10\/08 $3.5 @ South Melb Markets. Gorgeous sunny day. And a nice basic session beer. At 3.8%, you’d happily drink it all night. Nice ruby brown, light hoppy + maltiness. Akin to a Booky, but not so English.<\/p>\n

Afterthoughts, October 2010:<\/strong> Matt Kirkegaard (of BrewsNews.com.au<\/a>) wrote to inform me that there was more than one Roger<\/em>, so their seemingly-odd use of the apostrophe is just fine. It’s Rogers plural<\/em>, not possessive. Since I’m as much Typography Nerd as I am Mad Keen Creatures Fan, that news cheers me greatly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
