Bundaberg Barrel

Moving quickly this morning as we have a tasting booked at the Bundaberg barrel at 10am and we were an hour an a half away. Made it with heaps of time, even with a bit of roadwork. When we arrived, we found out that we got to take home 6 soft drinks each and that we could mix and match. First we went through the virtual brewery. There was info about the history and processes. There was also a smell test, where you had a sniff and had to guess which of the 14 flavours you could smell. It was pretty cool! We lined up for our tasting, Grace was our bar person and she was great, one of her strengths being suggesting what alcohol we mix with each flavour. She said she tested it for work purposes only.. We got try all 14 flavours and take home a mixed 12 pack. We decided against the Christmas spiced ginger beer and the sarsaparilla. They weren't bad at all, just easy ones to cull compared to the rest. Ben said it was very different to last time he went with you guys.Read more
