Not cheap, but at least I now know where to find it.<BR/><BR/>Last night <A HREF="http://mrebenezer.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Eb</A> and I spent the early evening at the <A HREF="http://www.redoak.com.au/" REL="nofollow">Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe</A>, at 201 Clarence Street in the city. They make a rauchbier of their own; it and the organic pale ale were the pick of the beers that I tried in that session. I'll definitely be going back to try out the rest of their (extensive) selection. The food was pretty good too.Bruce Yabsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091471695711534450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769246818135102880.post-31263533525323669592007-06-08T12:32:00.000+10:002007-06-08T12:32:00.000+10:00I've always thought of Rauchbier as the Lapsang So...I've always thought of Rauchbier as the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapsang_souchong" REL="nofollow">Lapsang Souchong</A> of beers, just as <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laphroaig" REL="nofollow">Laphroaig</A> is the Lapsang Souchong of scotches.<BR/><BR/>Looks like you can find it online <A HREF="http://www.beerstore.com.au/detail.asp?beerID=375" REL="nofollow">here</A>. Since I work just down the road from the BBC, I'll pop in to see whether they have any smoky Belgian beers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731666002617243359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769246818135102880.post-43957532451917502702007-05-22T21:40:00.000+10:002007-05-22T21:40:00.000+10:00No I haven't been to the BBC (or at least not sinc...No I haven't been to the BBC (or at least not since moving back to Sydney): I should check it out, since I don't mind Belgian beer.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip re statcounter, BTW: I'm happy with the service. When I looked up their site I realised what I'd said to you was wrong: I'd baulked at one or two of the <EM>other</EM> counter providers that required advertising, and statcounter had just needed more setup than I had time for at that moment. I clearly should make notes for myself when I walk away from something like that, since my memory plays tricks.Bruce Yabsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091471695711534450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769246818135102880.post-58741332928690019792007-05-22T21:28:00.000+10:002007-05-22T21:28:00.000+10:00Good to see you followed my advice and got statcou...Good to see you followed my advice and got statcounter.com. :)Ebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305070461972884964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769246818135102880.post-62946992771782877102007-05-22T21:25:00.000+10:002007-05-22T21:25:00.000+10:00Sounds good.

(Harrington St in the city, or probably Crows Nest) Not sure if they sell it or not.Ebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305070461972884964noreply@blogger.com
