Best beer EVER!!! Rated best beer in the Southern Hemisphere and it took second place in the "best beer in the world" competition, along with London Pride. A rich, strong ale for the serious drinker. The chocolate and amber malt lends a dark and mysterious colour to Gilroy Serious. A superior ale, best enjoyed by savouring the layers of flavour and taste. The Gilroy Serious has 7% alcohol by volume. "This is extremely well made and easy to drink, despite the high alcohol which is not noticable in the taste. A rare handcrafted masterpiece from the southern hemisphere." BJ Lankwarden (Diners Club SA Beer Drinkers Guide) Lankwarden Rating: 9/10

    A wonderful porter. Inky brown color that hints at complexity. Fruity, spicy, and malted nose. Taste lingers for a long time: chocolate, cedar, spice. Very much the Bordeaux blend of beers. You have to try this one--naturally brewed, unfiltered porter at its best.
