Original full-bodied real ale. The label features the colours and format of the original which was used as the Goulburn Brewery label last century. The brewery was first operated by Bradley & Shelley, then by Bartlett & Oddy, then Bartlett & Co., and finally Tooth & Co. Ltd. who ceased the brewing operations at the end of 1929.

"Dropped into the Goulburn brewery on the way through to Canberra.
A lovely old, heritage listed group of buildings which originally included malting floors & a kilning tower.
From this beer, I'm not sure any of that goes on here anymore. In fact, I don't think any grain enters the site.
This beer was so reminiscent of my early homebrew attempts, I can wonder if stale liquid malt extract is the base. And the yeast profile only compounds the impression.
$89 for a carton of beer is completely unreasonable considering the quality of the contents. (I only bought a sample pack, thankfully).
I can only suppose that all the proceeds are channelled back into the brewery preservation fund. Maybe next year I can claim the cost of the beer as a tax deductable donation.
