Just checking if there are any craft beer lovers on here?

I'll get started with a few of my go to beers.

Mash Copycat AIPA
Feral Hop Hog
Brewdog Punk IPA

Also had a Growler of Modus Operandi Zoo Keeper IPA post mild concussion from footy last night, was very decent and possibly this 7.5% brew took away my headache?  ???

Any recomended NSW brewers in Sydney city area or not far?  Hitting King St Brewhouse for the AFL grand final and will prob make my way to 4 Pines Brewery in Manly at some stage too, any others worth visiting?

Most of the time. :D

Best craft beer I've had was a pale ale from Forrest Brewing Company in the Otway region. had a few decent other ones but I find that a lot of the time the mineral water they use doesn't complement the taste.

Halleluja, I thought this thread was invisible!  :D

Never heard of that one, but I'm sure if I see it around while I'm over I'll give it a try, cheers.

Might be a dumb question, but what makes a beer a "craft beer"?

Not exactly sure but I refer to any beer that isn't made by a major brewery as craft beer.

Independently brewed and small production basically using traditional methods.  So yeah, not mass produced stuff.

Sweet!  I've seen them around but don't think I've tried anything of theirs.

I had a pacific ale a couple weeks ago and that was great

Been real into Stone & wood lately, dos blockos is another good one I've had recently, and feral hop hog is definitely a go to beer for me!
