Optus Stadium goes live, page-24

The Coburg RSL venue is having a locals day that is open to the public and is free entry. They’ve posted it on FB with the GRB logo everywhere. Check out their FB page and you can register that you want to go along on the day.

This is a while back now, but I did see GRB on tap at Young & Jacksons (opposite Flinders St station). I don’t recall which brew it was, but it was a one-off brew rather than their standard tap stuff. Seeing a specially brewed beer made me look at GRB differently because they were clearly aligning themselves not just as a mainstream brewery, but also as speciality beer producer.

They are clearly capturing the Vic market. I don’t know that many pubs but I’d guess there’s a few more out there with beer on tap.

Getting on tap is a good way to get 1^st-timers to try your beer. I’m no expert on the subject but I’d guess many drinkers would buy the same thing when they go to a bottle shop, because its there. Walk in to a pub and be presented with taps you are unfamiliar with – that’s when people experiment a little more.
