Dead Guy Give Away - Last Days. Beer buffs step back in time and other BM news.
Greetings fellow BeerMasons and friends,
Last days to make it official and become a BeerMason while scoring some Double Dead Guy on the house!
Sign up today and become a BeerMason and we will send you a complimentary 750ml bottle of Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale* This will get you sipping while you anticipate the arrival of your Autumn Pack. Just quote the promo code DDGFB10 in the online store to score your beer.
(*Conditions apply - scroll below for details)
What do a 1950s ‘hostess with the mostest’, two quacks from the late 1800s and BeerMasons have in common? More than you might think…
It’s no secret that BeerMasons love everything there is about beer. While initially it may be all about the flavour, we then like to delve into a brewery’s history and beer styles and the people behind its creation.
We are always searching for the fragments of history that justify beer as a multifaceted hobby!
If you haven’t already, make sure you take a look at The BeerMasons’ History of Beer. On a recent fact-finding mission to the dark shelves of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen Library (the second-oldest continuously running library in New York) we discovered this little gem: Cup and Platter; Notes on Food & Its Effects*. This book was authored by two doctors in 1876 and has a full chapter dedicated to our favourite topic; beer.
Too old to photocopy for future reference and too rare to read unless under the watchful eye of the helpful library staff, Cup and Platter was an insightful step back in time. We even felt bad opening the book up, as its spine creaked with lack of use.
It would seem that the medical establishment of London in 1876 perceived the medicinal qualities of beer as important for all ages. At the same time, the authors admonished those adults who led a sedentary life for their overindulgence. Ponder if you will, the reaction of the good doctors to our ‘sedentary’ life in 2010.
While our belief in beer as having curative properties has long since faded, the arguments for quality craft beer produced by reputable establishments, consumed in moderation as currently championed by The BeerMasons and the authors of Cup and Platter remain.
We’ve long argued the quality-versus-quantity angle and worked to debunk the beer-makes-you-fat myth. Not much has changed since 1876, it would seem (other than dosing children lacking appetite with a hearty draught!)
From Cup and Platter…
“We are not alluding to table or small beer, which washy and unpalatable decoctions were scarcely more than the rinsings of the mash-tub or the results of injudicious home-brews... The other, almost valued by its age like port wine, was not despised, if in addition to the strongest possible alcoholicity it contained compound ethers and acids sufficient to render it highly intoxicating; so that beer-drinkers of the so-called fine old ales had generally sufficient respect for their potency to drink them out of small glasses and usually in moderate quantities. These beers were sipped rather than drunk and deep draughts of thirst assuaging potations must have been supplied from the small beers rather than from those which appeared to excite their greatest admiration.
“Although beer may be regarded as being our national beverage, several points must be taken into consideration in forming an opinion as to the quantity which may be beneficially consumed by people during different periods of life. The most prominent of these, undoubtedly, are constitutional temperament and general habits, especially, with regard to the amount of exercise taken…”
Our next surprising little discovery in this library was a Beer and Good Food** cookbook by Myra Waldo – a globetrotting food writer for Pan American Airways in the 1950s. It’s a cracking read with some interesting recipes, some of which are hysterical by today’s standards and others that make you want to get to a kitchen quickly!
Myra caught our eye and admiration with her introduction entitled Beer in Your Life – “More and more physicians are prescribing beer for low-calorie dieters because of its satisfying psychological effect. Beer is ideal instead of a cocktail before diner for those who are watching their weight, because it is so filling. And there is nothing to equal beer immediately before bedtime instead of a high-calorie snack, so often the downfall of an otherwise conscientious dieter. Beer at bedtime produces a more restful night of sleep because of its soporific action in relaxing the nervous system.” – You’ve convinced us Myra!
Until next time, here’s to better beer.

Greetings friends and fellow BMs.
Enjoy this, our latest report from our beer hunting tour. Very soon, your tastebuds will be reaping the rewards.
Your beer club continues to grow and if you have any friends that are thinking about joining, tell them to get in quick - Autumn is on the way and it is looking very, very good. You'll get a surprise peak at the line up next week.
Rather large beers in a winter wonderland.
Big: a whale of a; capacious; chock-full; humongous; mammoth; sizeable; super-colossal; voluminous; walloping. No matter what synonym we choose to describe the Vail Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines Festival, it just doesn’t seem to capture the delicious essence of the event. (Hence our list of eight, just to get our point across.)
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the festival is an extravaganza of big American craft brews and special imports. Brewers get to strut their stuff and mingle with serious beer lovers. Being able to duck off to Vail’s 5,200+ acres of ski terrain is an added bonus.
This event delivers serious beer and serious fun. The brainchild of High Point brewing couple Laura and Bill Lodge, the event has grown considerably in appeal and import1200 |

HOPPING INTO 2010
Welcome to our first 2010 edition of the club bull roarer news. We hope you have recovered from the Christmas and New Year festivities and are ready to enjoy the rest of summer. Tennis, cricket, Australia Day – and the perfect accompaniment to any summer day is our new summer seasonal brew ROAD TRIP – an American IPA. Brewed with 3 varieties of hops from the Pacific Northwest of USA, this beer was inspired by the recent trip made by the Holgate family to this renowned beer region. This new brew will be released in kegs in the next few weeks – so come on down to the Brewhouse to enjoy this refreshing ale.

CHRISTMAS EDITION
2009: YEAR OF THE BULL!
Ten Years of Great Beers at Holgate Brewhouse
The year is drawing to a close and we once again find ourselves in the midst of the festive season. We’ve parties galore, new beer to celebrate and lots to cheer about. There’s no better time to have a cold refreshing brew than in these hot summer months, and our beer garden is the best place to enjoy one.
Ian, and following his return, Paul & Natasha have all been busy in the States. They’ve been dedicating all their time and effort to experiencing as many beers and breweries as possible. We thank them for all this exhausting work to be able to continually bring you the best brewed beer in the world!
Thank you one and all for your patronage throughout 2009, we’ve had a great ten year celebration that started in January and still hasn’t stopped!
MOVEMBER
You could be forgiven for thinking the staff at Holgates are looking decidedly ‘shady’ lately, but it’s all for a great cause. The boys are growing their mo’s for Movember, and raising funds for Prostate Cancer and depression.
If you’d like to join the team “Holgate’s Hirsute Hombres” or donate to this worthy cause visit au.movember.com/ and read on for details of our Movember Wrap Party.
MOVEMBER WRAP PARTY IN THE BREWERY!
Monday, 30 November, 5:30-7:30 pm. Join our mustachioed Movember team members for a Movember wrap party. A $10 donation to Movember gets you two hours of beer and nibbles in the brewery. Check out the team - "Holgate's Hirsute Hombres" au.movember.com/

HEAR YE, HEAR YE HOLGATES HAS A NEW BEER
‘THE MILD ONE’ 3.5%. A MILD is a style of ale from days of yore and still popular in Britain today. Originally a reward for farm workers at harvest time, it was designed as a ‘restorative’ drink. Easy drinking beer with low bitterness & alcohol but with full-bodied malt character. All of this resulting in a great lunch-time or session ale. Or a nutritious refresher after a hard days work!

INTRODUCING JULIAN
A self confessed ‘home-brewer devotee’ Julian has joined the team at Holgates as our Business Development Manager. Hailing from England and immigrating to Australia 19 years ago, Julian’s background is packed with impressive positions at renowned restaurants and clubs in and around Melbourne. The three things he has missed from England are; the Historical Architecture, the Pubs and the Beer. That is, of course, until he found Holgate’s! Feeling right at home, Julian has settled into concentrating on ‘World Domination’ of the Holgate brand.
