One beer brewery

This striking beer is actually made by a winery – De Bortoli. Red Angus has been around for a while now and is well worth trying. What is puzzling is that De Bortolis has gone to the trouble of setting up a brewing company, creating a website for the brewing company and then just producing one beer. The William Bull Brewery is named after a early Riverina settler with no apparent connection to brewing (unlike James Squire or John Boston). Maybe they just liked the sound of his name.

The Red Angus bottle craps on about “Pure Grain Fed Beer”, but then doesn’t go anywhere with that tagline. At the end of the day, however, this is a bloody good beer. It’s aromatic with a distinctive taste that lasts well after the swallow. Why they haven’t capitalised on the name and stitched up a deal with Steersons or Kingsleys is beyond because I could see myself polishing off a few of these as I clean up a t-Bone.

So the fact that de Bortolis had a good idea to create a brewery and then seem to have forgotten about it shouldn’t deter you from having a lash at this. Get into it.
