TRB LAUNCHES COLD DELIVERY… LIKE NO OTHER!
Thanks for all the kind messages about our delivery fleet project. For the few of you who have not logged onto our face book, we saved a 1949 English Fordsen Delivery van from the scrap heap.
Adeptly named Gordon, we gave him a new heart, a serious face lift and lots of TLC ala TRB treatment. A work of art to some, a work horse to us. Gordon is the mascot of our future fleet and new beer ambassador. Come and met Gordon at select venues. He’s kind of cute!
ANNOUNCING THE PERFECT BEER COMPETITION WINNER
Entries have come far and wide . Melbourne to Seattle. Tokyo to Sweden. Even one from Istanbul. But no one could compete with Ballarat!
So the winner is Warren Young , fine lad and inspired future brewer. Congratulations Warren. Your poem was an inspiration to all who love a great craft beer. May all our readers enjoy your linguistic charm.
The Perfect Beer by Warren Young, Ballarat.
The perfect beer washes away your troubles
It feels good in the mouth, not too many bubbles
It pours in a glass with a beautiful head
It can be golden, brown, black or red
A great brew should never go to waste
I just love to savour the taste
It can be a lager or it can be an ale
But I can’t resist an American Pale
I love the flavour, the aroma is tops
The beer is awesome when it has fresh hops
Quality is the key, have no fear
You’ve just gotta love a beautiful beer!
TRB Records is Now Official
TRB Records is now official. Great craft beer demands great music. So wherever we can showcase a band or artist we want the world to hear, TRB Records will do it.
Whether you are new or established muso’s, send in your myspace link to trbrecords@thunderroadbrewing.com. To celebrate the launch of TRB Records, we’re giving away up to 100 hours of free recording time to support great music. If you’ve got the skill to create tasty music with our tasty beer, then you’ll hear from us!
THE DETONATORS. www.detonators.com.au are our first feature on TRB Records. No one works the pub circuit in Australia as hard as these guys. They deserve world acclaim. Paulie “the Kid” Bignell, ”Doghouse” Dave Philpots and ”Rock Bottom” James Maloney graciously provided the backing track for our newest video release. Check this out now on YouTube.
We’ve Started! Unofficially…
At long last! Electricity, gas, steam all connected and water running through the brewery. Now brewing. It’s been a long wait. Thank you everyone for your patience.
Perfection does take time. But the 50 or more people we employed to help us put this monster up have been fantastic. What does that mean to you, our support crew? Thunder Road Brewing Company craft beers are on the way! But don’t expect 100 beers straight away. We’re taking our time (yet again!). We aim to brew them just right, one at a time. To find out exactly when you can taste them and where, just regularly log onto Facebook/Thunderroadbrewing. Initially, you’ll be able to come down and taste them here at the brewery, or at the best beer venues in Melbourne. We’ll be listing them online as they go on tap. You will also be able to take our beers home, fresh from the brewery. And finally, later in the year, you’ll be grabbing a bite to eat at the brewery. Special food, cooked just right paired with our craft beers. So make sure you are on our mailing list. That’s the best way to keep up to date and be the first to visit.
Chris Badenoch, Masterchef Contestant, Visits TRB
Chris Badenoch, Masterchef contestant, author and main man of newly opened restaurant Josie-Bones, very kindly paid TRB a visit. Josie-Bones is a must for food and beer lovers when in Melbourne.

FRESH IS BEST
