Cask Ale At Nag's Head

On the first Friday of every month, The Nag's Head in Glebe offers three casks of real ale, brewed by Matt Donelan. of St Peter's Brewery. I make it there nearly every month. Real ale comes from a hand pump or gravity pour, is not carbonated and is ideally served at cellar temperature. It's hard to find real ale in Sydney, but this is one place you can't miss. The beer is craft brewed by a local and tasty, though the serving temperature is a bit low... presumably to compensate for Sydney heat. But when all three casks are emptied in one night, temperature shouldn't be a huge problem. Whatever, you should go if you can. It helps if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. A group of us headed over after work - that's Tim, Glenn and David in the tunnel photo - and met up with other good mates, some of whom are from Aussiehomebrewer.com, like Paul, Lindsay and Melanie. That's me in the BeerAdvocate shirt, proving that supporters of two different beer websites can coexist in the same space at the same time.
