Hello. I write to bitch about Steam ale. Four out of six stubbies of this stuff are absolutely woeful. They’re that bad I swear they were made in Abbotsford.
One in six is okay. Drinkable.
The other one in every six is fucking glorious.
Where’s the quality control? Or the pride in what you put your label on..?
I write this not just as a punter, but as someone that’s been a retailer and advocate of your beer since 2003.
Your beer was one of those that originally said to me, hey, there’s more to beer than what’s made in Abbotsford! It taught me a lesson, infact, I cut my boutique beer selling teeth on it. Something I’ve done really well.
What’s more I drank it! I spent 40+ hours a week selling your stuff, then drinking it when I’m off the clock in my own time for over six years. It’d be impossible to count howmany of your beers I’d have consumed, or directly sold, but in short, it’d be a royal shitload. I even have the sticker on my car, I drink, I goat. If your shit continues, it’ll be removed.
Your beer was spot on. A local we could be genuinely proud of, that is, up until recently. The more venues you seem have, the worse the quality of your beer.
Dropping the pale ale was a cardinal sin. To replace it with something that’s fundamentally flawed, like Steam ale just makes things worse.
Get your shit together, please. I miss the riotous good times I had with your beer. I miss having customers come in with a smile thanking me for converting them from the dark side to a decent, credible brew, I miss slamming down Hightail pints at the Corner, thinking “How fucking good is this? a beer brewed here in my hometown that I’m not ashamed of..”
You’re teetering on the edge of just another mass produced shitty inverted commas boutique beer close inverted commas just like Matilda Bay, and I’m contemplating removing the sticker and your beer from my drink, and more importantly recommend list.
The text below is what I typed into a contact form on the Mountain Goat Brewery website. I’ll keep you updated with the response, if indeed I get any.

In 1857 the Prince Albert vineyard became the first Australian vineyard to be planted exclusively to Pinot Noir, and it existed as such until 1882. In 1975 someone discovered this fact, and replanted the vineyard – Oblivious to the fact that good Shiraz and Grenache vineyards exist elsewhere in Australia from a period long before then. One wonders why it took 90 something years to replant. If it was on the money to begin with, why rip the buggers out? Perhaps it was that stupid bug, Phylloxera..? Anyhow, I digress.
