Bangers & Brews: Akasha Brewing Sausage Queen Tour

Bangers + Brews: Sausage Queen Tour, Aksaha Brewery

Scott and Charlene

Bangers + Brews: Sausage Queen Tour, Akasha Brewing. This had to be the most anticipated event since Charlene and Scott got married on Neighbours. With the event kicking off at 1pm, you could tell this was going to be an awesomely fun day. 

And what more fun can you ask for than notice sausages on a barbecue? Oh, that wafting aroma of cooking meat permeating across the whole brewery. Would you prefer beef or pork sausages? Maybe both!

Even the condiments were mouthwatering. There were pickles, spicy tomato or mustard sauce, used with Akasha's Tradewind Lager. Try one at a time or all three at once. The choice was yours.

The sausage queen herself was in good swing, and so was the live entertainment. The atmosphere was friendly and the beers were rocking. To our surprise, Akasha gave us the opportunity to try their new craft beer teaser: American Brown ale.

With a limited supply of one 19 litre keg, the American Brown ale was a very hot item. Despite my best efforts to obtain several samples (yes, it was that good) I could only manage two. What I can tell you though is that both samples were extremely delicious.

So delicious that I am sure Akasha will brew this again. It had very subtle chocolate notes, its malt profile was solid and the hops were subdued but still apparent. Personally, I really enjoyed it.

Lots of other beers were on tap to enjoy, too. The Hopsmith IPA, Freshwater Pale Ale, Tradewind Lager and even a cider. For me, the Hopsmith IPA is the pinnacle of IPAs here in Australia. I have no doubt that the craft beer lovers out there will agree.

Akasha Brewing: A great, fun day

And all of the craft beer-loving people turned out in their droves. The day started off slowly but the Five Dock brewery was soon full. So many people attended that there was a waiting line at the taproom! Both the main entry area and inside the brewery were jam-packed.

The Akasha Brewing team should be proud. The turnout certainly would have put Charlene and Scott's wedding to shame! Great beers, great food and great music can only mean one thing: it was an awesomely fun day. Congrats to Akasha Brewing.
