Chasing the rabbit

I must have misunderstood all the "Mr. Rabbit" conversation dominating the past week because come Saturday just gone instead of voting in the election, I went to the White Rabbit Brewery (Healesville, VIC).

I got to have a quick look at the brewery itself and see the production in action, and then across the road was Giant Steps / Innocent Bystander winery where they served food and White Rabbit on tap. And holy shitballs Batman, White Rabbit White Ale on tap is absolutely delicious. That's a no brainer though, considering how much I like the bottled product. I probably should have also given the Dark Ale a chance too seeing as how it never convinced me bottled-wise, but I was blinded by the White Ale and the fact that you could order as many Oysters as you liked at $3.50 each. So I ordered one, much to the confusion of the staff. Yes, cheekiness, plus I'd been drinking all day. But it was ONE damn fine oyster, as was the food in general too.

Anyway, White Rabbit on tap... if you haven't tried it yet or seen it around, you should be able to get it at any Little Creatures brewery/hall (they own some/all of it). Melbourne folk - apparently the Local Taphouse did secure some kegs too but they're probably gone now, so you can only grab it at the Little Creatures Dining Hall on Brunswick St at present.

Oh yeah, I drove through Coldstream as well, and therefore passed the Coldstream Brewery but, well... who cares.
