Adrienne holding a glass of Jack’s Brew and M
I met Adrienne and Nick and their adorable boy Jack through M on Australia Day and going to baby Jack’s post Christening party was a good chance to see the three of them again. They’re long time and frequent patrons of the Red Oak Beer Cafe in the city, a boutique beer cafe and Microbrewery where at your request, you can get a beer brewed especially for you. So like any good Aussie male, Jack for his Christening received his very own beer “Jack’s brew” (although baby Jack didn’t actually drink it himself
).

Framboise Froment beer $7.50
The space itself is warm and woody with a function area towards the back and the restaurant up the front. This afternoon it’s finger food and some of their delicious beers. I try some of Jack’s brew and it is something I’m sure he’d be proud of. The other thing that I try is the Raspberry beer, something that someone like me might like as it’s sweet. I tend to like cherry beers, and I’d say I’m certainly no beer connoisseur at all but this raspberry beer is indeed good stuff indeed. There is also a Belgian chocolate stout beer and another expensive beer served in a brandy balloon at about $100 a glass (I don’t order this, I’m not a bad guest!).
