 Little Creatures Pale Ale by robertgaz
There was a time in Europe when to drink a "small beer" was safer than drinking contaminated water. Drinking water from the tap is perfectly safe here but beer has become a part of the national culture.
I recently saw a TV program highlighting the 20 most siginficant cultural events to influence life in Australia. Coming in at number 16 was extending pub hours from 6pm to 10pm sometime in 1967. Prior to this there was a phenomenon known as the "six o'clock swill". Towards 6pm, patrons would rush to guzzle as much beer as they could before the possibility of drinking anything was snatched away from them.
These days as much wine (if not more) is consumed as there is beer. I have listed some of the better quality locally made beers.
My personal favourite local beer is the Little Creatures Pale Ale made by Little Creature Brewing in Fremantle. With your first sip you will notice a hint of passionfruit flavour followed by a long lingering bitter aftertaste. At 5.2% alcohol it will sneak up on you if you imbibe with too many drinks. A sensationally scrumptious ale! 5/5 Leave a Comment

 Cape Lavender Pale Ale by robertgaz
The end result which is made by Wicked Ale Brewery, is an ale that tastes a lot like lavender potpourri... not that my taste buds have ever experienced anything like this... but I imagine that is what lavender potpourri would taste like if you were silly enough to try it... Cape Lavender Pale Ale has a long bitter, floral lavender palate softened somewhat by a dash of honey.
You may have gathered (correctly) that this is not one of my favourites but like any new food you must try it for yourself. 2/5 (for originality) Leave a Comment

And please visit janetanne's homepage to find out where the term 'bees knees" originated. Leave a Comment

 Redback by robertgaz
Some Redback drinkers will add a slice of lemon into the bottle for some extra zest . This has never appealed much to me but is popular nonetheless. It isn't one of my favourites but it's not too bad as a refreshing drink on a hot summer day. At 5.2% don't refresh yourself with too many of these or you too will get bitten! 3/5 Leave a Comment

 One crab for me by marbal
I find crabbing more fun because it’s a bit more active. Pulling in the crab nets and measuring the crabby little critters. And the reward for al that hard work is fresh crab for tea!
Fishing is also great though, a bit more laid back. You might even meet a dolphin if your lucky/unlucky cause there’s no chance of good fishing with a dolphin around. Good company though. Beware for the heavy swells; if you’re not seaworthy you’ll have a ‘memorable’ time. Leave a Comment

"Quokka" comes from the Aboriginal language in the King George Sound and Augusta area of the southwest of Western Australia. Quokkas gather together under dense shrubs for shelter and they are less active during the day. Leave a Comment
