Beer Review Bluetongue Pilsner

Beer Review Bluetongue Pilsner

Beer number 17 out of my Forty Birthday Beers turns out to be the wonderful Bluetongue Pilsner.

I have been fortunate enought to have had a couple of these little fellas before…..  in fact a couple of days after I opened this one in front of my video camera I was at a bit of a gathering where a mate of mine offered me one of his Bluetongue Lagers…. mmmmm….

In short – this is a Wonderful Beer.

This pilsner is slightly fruity, but only a little hint.  It’s crisp.  It’s slightly bitter and it tastes great.

The Blue Tongue Brewery is located in Australia, in the area known as the Hunter Valley, north west of Sydney – almost as an outer suburb of Newcastle.  The Hunter Valley is perhaps more well known as a wine region, but there are a couple of nice breweries there as well.

According to their website, “Our full bodied pilsner has a malty flavour, pleasing bitterness and fruity aroma”.

One of the things I like about the BlueTongue Brewery website is their “On Tap Locations” page.

Simply type in your post code, and the map will reveal to you your nearest local watering hole that has Blue Tongue Beer on tap.  Excellent !

This Beer Review gives a ver commendable 9 out of 10 on the Forty Beers Cheers O Meter. 

If you find yourself in a bottleshop, make sure you look for the distinctive Blue Tongues and buy several.  As already mentioned, they have a Lager as well, which is equally as beerilicious.

Thanks

P.S.  Don’t forget that the Forty Beers Beer Store is now open…. there are heaps of Beer Tshirts with amusing slogans, and you can’t go past a new bottle opener….
