Seattle, we have beer!

It finally happened, and it was amazing. Yes, I found proper beer!

Here in Sydney we took our first trip to Manly. Manly is (I believe) considered to be part of the city of Sydney. Let me tell you, however, its a bit far from the center of town. It took us two trains, and a 40 minute ferry to get there. When we arrived however, it all became clear how worth it, it really was.

There on the shores of Sydney Harbor, overlooking Manly Wharf, is the 4 Pines Brewery.

This place would be right at home in any Seattle neighborhood. Large wooden rafters, indoor/outdoor seating, great food, and wonderful, flavorful, microbrews!

It was amazing.

I salute you, 4 Pines Brewery. You've done things right. Your beers are fantastic. All the way from the Hefe', to the Porter; and believe me I tried them all!

Did I mention the food? It was awesome.

I will find you again, and I will love it just as much, 4 Pines Brewery. You made my day. My week. Hell, you capped 2011 off miraculously!

We're back in Byron Bay now, its 2012, and the beer is shit.

It was fun while it lasted.
