Murrays at Manly

     The first thing that hits you as you walk up the stairs to the first floor is that you have a spectacular view over Manly beach. The second thing you see is that they have the full range of Murrays on Tap. The third thing you see after picking yourself up off the floor is that their $10 a schooner ( happy hour has since started 5pm - 7pm 7 days $7 schooners for limited Beers )
     Murrays at Manly also has Pinchguts Black Plz, Doctors Orders Zephyr Double White Ale, Hunter Beer Co Bock and Cinnamon Girl Spiced Ale by St Peters Brewery all on tap.  Just remember as most batches are small not all may be available every day.
     Murrays uses Motueka hops from NZ ( these use to be known as B. Saaz ) in many of their different Ales, this means that you need to move past the hops to tell some of these Beers apart and with the level of hops in some of these Beers thats not an easy thing to do.
      The restaurant serves stunning food and offers a menu matched with their Beers that work quite well, the 3 mini burgers and Angry Man Pale Ale were made to go together. Alas the food was just as dear as the Beer and you really feel as is your paying way too much for the view.  Be aware that many of Murrays Beers pack a punch with many of them in the 7 - 10% alcohol range.
      All of Murrays Beers can be found on the website http://www.murraysbrewingco.com.au./
      You will need to hunt around to find Murrays in the bottle shops, Dan Murphys carries Whale Ale and Angry Man Pale Ale and Vintage Cellars carry Angry Man Brown Ale
      Shortly we will be at Murrays Brewery in Port Stephens and look forward to posting  about our experience there.
