Hair of the Dog is available for purchase in:

Drinkers Review:
This beer is a fantastic craft beer that hits you in the face with a mango type aroma as soon as you crack the cap off the bottle. Even though it is pushing 6% ABV, it is a surprisingly easy beer to drink and could even be a breakfast beer after a big night out , aka Hair of the Dog, if you were that way inclined! I tried it both bottle and from the tap and it was great in both formats.
My only negative about this beer is that it is hard to come by in other parts of Australia, which is a shame considering it is a delightful drop. Go and grab a few of these delicious frothies, particularly now its hot and everyone needs to wet the palate in this muggy Australian summer.

Beer, the goodness that froths and refreshes!
Thanks for reading.
Thanks to @ryivhnn and @bearone for the fantastic footers :)
Breakfast beer.
Breakfast. Beer.
Perhaps I just don't understand these things because I don't like beer XD
It's important to maintain a stock of reasonably priced breakfast beers in the fridge.
Great review mate, that is one good looking beer. And another from Melbs
Melbourne beers are doing well in the #beersaturday comp. :P
Nice photos. Must be a nice beer! Thank you for sharing :)
Just enjoyed a Hargreaves Hill I.P.A. Twas a nice drop!
Hmmm. Don't think I've tried that one. Thanks for the tip.
Do you think it's mandatory to have a beard if you work at that brewery?
The beer looks great, it is just a bit far from South-Africa!!
