Slipstream Brewing Company, G-Force, 375ml

What are we getting? Big fruity notes, pineapple takes a backseat to the sweet, sweet scent of what I initially thought was passionfruit but upon tasting corrected that assumption to grapefruit. Hop forward with a bitterness that while mild comes front and centre that mellows into bold fruity flavours. Lingering notes of apricot and pineapple.

When to drink and what to pair it with? Paired well with a classic cheese platter, think olives, pepper crackers and a stunning creamy brie with some crisp purple grapes. One of those summer sippers to enjoy while pretending you understand the point of cricket.

Who is this beer for? Those who love a hop forward super fruity IPA, with level bitterness that isn’t too in your face. Anyone keen to try something a little bit different, as it’s an out of the box style IPA.

Is this beer readily available? Most certainly! G-Force is part of Slipstreams core range, so you’ll usually find it in the IPA fridge at your friendly neighbourhood My Beer Dealer.

Why do we like this beer? I’m personally not a fan of the fruity IPAs, but G-Force has its own charm that gives it a special place inside my beer fridge. An easy to knock back 6.5%, maybe not a long session beer, but a good start to the day/night/lunchtime/pre-nap/post-nap beer life.

We’re Antoinette, Natasha, Matt and Simon. We’re good booze lovers just like you. We started our beery journey in 2013 when we opened the famous Brewski on Brisbane’s infamous Caxton Street. In 2018 we opened our first My Beer Dealer under Brewski, it’s one of the few drink-in bottle shops in Queensland and we’re super chuffed with it. 2020 was a big year for us, we launched our online store (you’re looking at it) and opened our second bricks ‘n mortar shop next to Eagle Junction station in Brisbane’s Clayfield (we’re super chuffed with it as well). Both of these have allowed us to complement our awesome beer range with our other passions of good wine and good spirits.

As we’re a small family run business we prefer to support other family businesses and small producers, ensuring that when you visit us it’s not the same old, same old. And by shopping with us we hope you get to feel good about supporting a whole heap of small businesses, just like we do. So if you do choose to buy through us, thank you from us and thank you from our family of suppliers (and thanks for reading this far, our copywriter is stoked).
