Stouts vs Sours II at The Union Hotel (NSW)

Last year Newtown’s Union Hotel held a beer battle that was, perhaps, more a battle of barkeeps. Sion reckoned stouts were more popular than sours, Luke reckoned the opposite. So they each chose eight of their favourites, tapped them all at the same time and waited to see whose preferred style ran out first. In a remarkably close contest, the sours pipped it by a couple of litres. 

Now, revenge is on the cards as Stouts and Sours Round II is set to take place. Each of the barkeeps has stuck with their preferred style, which has resulted in the following lineup: 

Stouts

  • Thirsty Crow – Vanilla Milk Stout
  • Moon Dog – Black Lung V PX Barrel Aged Smoked Stout
  • Big Shed – Golden Stout Time Sweet Stout 
  • Pirate Life – Stout
  • Willie the Boatman – Love Shucker Oyster Stout
  • Batch – Elsie’s Other Udder Imperial Milk Stout
  • Mismatch – Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
  • Founders Brewing Co. – Breakfast Stout

Sours

  • Bridge Road – These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty Gose
  • Woolshed – Big Orange Kettle Sour
  • Boatrocker – Miss Pinky Raspberry Berliner Weisse
  • Mismatch – Cherry Ale Sour
  • Feral – Watermelon Warhead Berliner Weisse
  • Temple – Okinawa Sour
  • Pirate Life – Apricot Berliner Weisse
  • Nomad – Freshie Moka Coffee Gose

If you're not into stouts and sours, the remaining taps will be pouring a few standards.
