Redoak: Boutique Beer Cafe

My quest for good beers in the austere brewing environment of Australia has lead me to Redoak Beer Cafe. The bar brews a large selection of its own craft beers and is only a few block from my house (how fortunate).

My Favorite Aussie IPA to date.
Today was my first visit and I was very pleased with the pint of IPA I ordered; hoppy and bitter with a nice full taste (despite only being about 6.5% abv). Although not as strong as home the flavor was there. I like their selection of beers but the bar was a bit sterile and the clientele was a bit too corporate and stuffy, which I guess is understandable considering its proximity to most businesses in CBD. Anyhow, I'll be back for the beer, but The Local Taphouse still holds the title for my favorite in Sydney.
