Induction – Terry #129

bladdamasta 26/02/2021

Tonight’s ferry trip was not Terry’s first rodeo. A long time insular peninsula dweller and workmate of #1 and #3, plenty of froth has been blown off more than a couple over the years with this bloke. The #worldsbestcommute threw …

Induction – John #128

bladdamasta 17/02/2021

We all expressed surprise that John had not been inducted. Tonight’s trip on the Back of the Ferry with other Back of the Ferry members was by no means John’s first rodeo. For some reason we’ve never gotten around to …

Nice Guys Brewery – #Fortuitous

bladdamasta 10/02/2021

In a sign that 2021 won’t be the dumpster fire that 2020 was, I’ve been able to travel to Melbourne for work. I caught up with a good mate at one of my favourite venues – Moondog OG. Splice of …

Bucketty’s Brewing Co – open in Brookvale via Bucketty

bladdamasta 07/02/2021

Craft brewers are often persistent buggers. You have to be when you deal with councils. Bucketty’s Brewing Co are more persistent than most and if you read their back story on their website you’ll understand why. A four year journey …

Dad and Dave’s second coming in Brookvale

bladdamasta 05/02/2021

On the eve of the opening of a new brewery in Brookvale, I took the opportunity to visit the new premises of a Brookvale stalwart. Dad & Dave’s have set up shop on Mitchell Road, and they’ve done a great …

Waiting for the King Tide (Brewing)

bladdamasta 23/01/2021

One of the most pleasing things about the craft beer evolution has been the growth of regional breweries. Given I’ve spent most of 2020 (and the start of 2021) restricted to NSW – I’ve visited parts of this great state …

Moorebeer Brewing Co – a Port Macquarie gem

bladdamasta 23/01/2021

Happy New Year to Back of the Ferry readers. Your correspondent had an ordinary start to 2021 with a lockdown, sh1tty weather and an all too early return to work. Only fair that I sneak in a quick coast trip …

Stomping Ground brewing at Terminal 3, Melbourne Airport

bladdamasta 18/12/2020

Two years to the day, I was enjoying a beer in Stomping Ground’s brilliant T3 1/2 pop up bar. Big screens, great selection of beer and good food. I must have been impressed because the standout quote was “best airport …

Hope Estate Brewery – rocking it even more

bladdamasta 08/12/2020

When you read up on Michael Hope, the owner of the sprawling Hope Estate Empire, it is clear that he doesn’t do anything by halves. Wine, beer, rock concerts and now gin – he’ll always go big. Over the past …

Hunter Beer Co becomes Foghorn Brewery

bladdamasta 06/12/2020

My go to Hunter Valley brewery has always been the Hunter Beer Co. Keith “The Beer Guy” always had some quirky on the taps (both in name and taste). And the Ploughman’s lunch was spectacular. Well there’s been a pretty …

Winghaus – some sport before the ferry

bladdamasta 08/12/2020

A big venue that would have made a bigger splash had it not opened seemingly a day before the COVID 19 shut down. Winghaus is a new brand of the Rockpool Group. Its full name is Winghaus by Bavarian and …

Manly Hops – a new beer in Manly town

bladdamasta 29/11/2020

This correspondent has been very lax in not writing up Sketch Manly before now. Manly’s first and only Coffee, Craft Beer and Curry bar was a god-send during lockdown. Sketch’s fridges bulge with some of the best craft beer and …

Induction – Bek #127

bladdamasta 08/11/2020

We love a induction ceremony that involves more than one person. Bek enjoyed a wonderful trip with her flatmates. Having grown up in the Blue Mountains, a ferry trip is an infrequent experience. The harbour turned it on and there …

Induction – Maddy #126

bladdamasta 08/11/2020

Another round of inductions from the next generation of Back of the Ferry members. We especially love introducing the delights of the ferry to people from outside the insular peninsula. Maddy was very lucky to have the event documented from …

Willunga – pubs, grub and tap houses

bladdamasta 28/10/2020

The South Australians really know how to do the whole beer, wine, spirit and food thing. In between driving along the beaches of the Fleurieu Peninsula, walking on granite islands and visiting the Mouth of the Murray river – we …

Sweet Amber – Craft beer in an outlet mall

bladdamasta 26/10/2020

I actually like Outlet Malls. I will go out of my way to visit one, when travelling because I can’t stand paying top dollar for clothes. Others can find it an excruciating experience, but maybe there’s now some relief. When …

Little Bang Brewery – hello Adelaide

bladdamasta 25/10/2020

I’m on a flying visit to South Australia – specifically Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula. South Australia is no different the other states and territories of Australia when it comes to craft beer. No surprise really, because the state’s travel …

Induction – Jackson #125

bladdamasta 30/09/2020

Jackson rounded off our trio of inductees. Inductee #37 and I had the good fortune to bump into Jackson in San Diego, where we blew the froth off more than a couple of uniques. I was quite glad to bail …
