Yea like how brewers try to make beers that taste like other drinks, we need a Leanweisse trend
 
Fckin breweries man... one just sent me beer by courier (great!) but it was packaged with one thin layer of bubble wrap loosely around a four pack. The box arrived beat up and with a rip in it. Somehow the beer survived.

So I don't know why I'm complaining. Also the back of their Gose says it's based on a 1,000 year old recipe like lolwut?

Australia is a strange, strange place.

No ****. Check out this quote from a major brewery heritage brand "relaunch" article:

McCracken’s most famous beer was its Light Ale, light, not in the way that we understand a light beer to be, but because beers in Australia back in the 1800s were extremely heavy. McCracken’s thought it was too heavy for this climate, so let’s do a lighter style, but it would have still been quite heavy in alcohol, just a lighter ale. So that was very popular. But I think if we tried to replicate recipes of the time, we’re just not going to be able to do it, they are just too high in ABV, bitterness and sugar.

So we’ve created a new beer, but it’s old in the style of an English ale and it’s a dark copper colour. But it’s not a highly bitter beer, it’s good beer, but not one that we’ve based on an original recipe.

(if you're really interested, I wrote a few words on the launch and how absurd the whole thing is http://aleofatime.com/2016/03/mccrackens-amber-ale/)
