When you think of Australian beer I would like you to think of James Squire.. Last night me and Jessie went to his brewhouse for dinner which is off King's Wharf. It was very beautiful walking along the wharf with the casino across the water and the sun just winking out for the night. I took a picture but I don't think it holds the true beauty of the scene.
For food I had a rump steak that came with 2 big grilled prawns. The prawns where still in their bodies and they were so tasty, the meat was grilled perfectly but needed a bit of salt to bring out the flavor. It seems to be a trend here with places not using enough salt, either that or I'm just a salt junky... Jessie had the Kangaroo which she said was the same as beef, I still hold to my statement that it's a cross between venison and beef.. Dessert was holy jeez amazing. I had a Forest Berry Brulee which was a creme brulee that had raspberries inside it.. In America I've seen creme brulee with fruit on top, but it was so much better with the fruit already in it. Jessie had the James Squire Waffles which is vanilla waffles, caramel banana & homemade toffee icecream. I had a bite and wow was it good, it was like the perfect banana fosters but better!
For drinks... I started with a Highwayman which is a semi-unfiltered Irish Red, my 2nd beer was a Craic which is a Guinness type beer but with a more coffee flavor, my 3rd beer was a return to the classic Amber Ale. I've now had four different James Squire beers and I have to say that I loved each one...
I want to try more of the Coopers beers. I really love their Pale Ale but as of right now James Squire is my favorite Australian Brewer.
