Something's brewing in the heart of our town...

Well, where to begin? At the beginning. The journey began long, long ago in a suburban park far, far away. I cracked that ice cold can of VB, lit up a smoke and the next thing you know here we are in sunny Smith street with a roasted pig's head, a bottle of unpronouncable Danish micro-brewed beer and some of the most passionate, outspoken individuals you'll find in a bar anywhere. Welcome to Endless Beer.
This beer scene attracts all sorts of people. People come for the flavour, the history, the movement, the politics, the friends and the booze. The conversation round the table flows like the beer. Fast. Everyone has something to say - biodynamic agriculture, tax reform, the global free-market, the history of glass, hop terroirs, and of course, what to eat with these beers. These people are IT nerds, farmers, financiers, home-brewers, foodies, truck drivers, call-centre workers, TV stars, psych nurses. The oldest is talking steel tinnies and 6 0'clock closing, the youngest is googling brews on her iphone. There is one thing we all have in common. Beer. Endless Beer.
This blog is primarily a database of every beer to pass these lips. But beer is more than just a drink, and drinking isn't just about the beer. We'll also talk trends, trivia and trash. So, thanks for following and welcome to a life of Endless Beer.
