Brand: Fat Yak
Brewer: Matilda Bay Brewing Company
Type: Ale
Style: Pale Ale
Region: South East Australia

Brewers Description: Fat Yak first impresses with its golden colour, distinctive, hop driven, fruity and herbaceous aromas, giving characteristic passionfruit and melon notes, followed by a whack of hop flavour at the finish. The taste is refreshingly clean on the palate. Fat Yak is engineered in the Garage Brewery from natural ingredients, including premium malts, American Cascade hops and a hint of New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops.

We have gas issues!

As Tom Jones says 'It's not unusual' beer drinkers have at times escalated gas issues, pardon me!
However we must have a leak? So it's down to business to track back and find the crack that is letting gas out!


News Flash - - -
"Yesterday scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, and couldn't drive. No further testing is planned."

3 Little Pigs

Huff'n and Puff'n 3 Little Fermenters in a row!



The Drowning Vat
Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day , he just wasn't paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over into the beer vat and drowned.
 
The foreman thought it should be his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's death. He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, "I'm sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned.
 
She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, "Tell me, did he suffer"?
 
I don't think so," said the foreman: "He got out three times to go to the men's room"
