We’re not the only beer bloggers in town!

If you’ve been enjoying the Thirsty Critters blog so far (and we hope you have!) then you might want to check out some other ‘beer blogs’, from Brisbane & beyond.

BeerMatt

Brisbane is very lucky to be home to one of Australia’s foremost beer experts, Matt Kirkegaard. Until recently he was editor of Beer & Brewer, a print publication you can pick up at your local newsagent. Matt’s knowledge of beer and the Australian beer industry is encyclopaedic, and he quite obviously has a major passion for the golden amber. You can follow his adventures in beer at his fantastic blog, BeerMatt. It’s updated on a very frequent basis so there’s never a dull moment!

Brisbane Beer Review

There’s also another Brisbane-based beer blog, not quite as professional as Matt’s but a good read nonetheless. The Brisbane Beer Review is run by two likely lads down at Cru Cellars, who stock a pretty decent range of beer, some of which I’ve never seen anywhere else in Brisbane (see our Brisbane Beer Secrets guide). Their most recent review is of four different eras of Cooper’s Vintage. Mosey on over and have a read.

Further afield, there’s some more great Australian beer blogs just a click away. In my bookmark list are:
