Free samples? 12 pack or so should get me through the tour.

Yes there are samples at the end of the tour, in the bar.

It's all about craft brewing. Not a bad watch if you're keen to learn more about the brewing process etc.

If any of you are keen to know anything about Lion Nathan brands, I will do my best to find out for you.

Brew Masters was good and Palo Santo Maron is quite possibly the best Brown Ale I have ever had. Such a pitty Dogfish Head don't export to Australia, I would happily pay a bit extra for the cost of cold storage all the way here. If you find it here... it should not be Parralle imports mkay...

The following shows are quite good too

Beer Wars (Doco)
The works - Beer (Doco)
Oz and James Drink to Brittan (Comedy/Doco)

Lion Nathan has a massive amounts of brands under it... most well known "craft" would more than likely be James Squire..

^^^ Tried a Vergina the other night. Had already had a few (heaps) so couldn't really notice the taste, but it was something different.
