ABC Wednesdays - N for National Wine Centre

The National Wine Centre of Australia was built in 2000 and has won many awards for its architecture and features. It is used as a function centre and for wine education. A key attraction for visitors is an interactive display that covers such topics as vine growing, wine regions in Australia, history and containers.

The Centre has a very large cellar that can house up to 38,000 bottles! A selection of these can be tasted at the Concourse Cafe.

I briefly visited the Centre to take some photos, but will be going back soon the spend more time looking at the display and, of course, sampling some of the wines!

Coopers Alehouse

If you want to sample all of Coopers beers then Coopers Alehouse is the place to go; they have the whole range on tap.

The Alehouse is in the historic Earl of Aberdeen hotel, on Pultney Street in the City. Originally it was the site of the Devon Arms Hotel, built in 1850. It was rebuilt in 1880 and renamed.

Cloudy but fine

There have been quite a few days like this lately. We have had a little more than our average rain this month, but there has been lots of fine weather too; even clear and sunny days.

This sign is advertising one of Adelaide favourite beers; Coopers Pale Ale.

The beer is brewed using a traditional method, and then bottled and allowed to ferment for a second time resulting in a yeast sediment. Before drinking, the sediment is stirred through the beer by tipping or rolling the bottle; cloudy but fine!
