#8 15mins at CHANDON, 2 Hours away from home!

I guess my title explained it all. Our original road trip was supposed to be a day trip to Innocent Bystander, but because this time we have a guest along, so we decided to first drop by to Chandon to have a taste of wine! This is my first time visiting this place. It was just a short drive from Melbourne around an hour. 

Chandon was established by French champagne house Moet & Chandon in 1986 and is dedicated to the production of method traditional sparking wine and premium quality, cool-climate still wines - chanson.com.au 





We had our lunch @ Giant Step, just right opposite the white rabbit brewery which is the next place I'll be referring to. 

White Rabbit uses four basic ingredients to make great beer, which is water, malt, hops and yeast but the magic happens when you expend your mind and step into a world where fermentation is dosed with a generous amount of imagination - White Rabbit


The brewing process! 


White Rabbit offered 3 kinds of beer which is white ale, apple cider and dark ale.

On the way back, we dropped by another drinking shop, named Coldstream. It comes in a combination of 5. 


1: Coldstream Pilsner (4.5%) - A refreshing European-style lager that is crisp, fresh and aromatic, generous hopping gives a pleasant bitterness, providing a lovely clean finish. 

2: Coldstream Original Ale (4.9%) -  A delicious golden ale brewed with premium English malting barley and delicately hopped with the classic Fuggles and kent goldings. This traditional ale pours with a beautiful creamy head a exhibits a full bodied maltiness with a gentle bitter finish. 

3: Coldstream Doppelbock (7.5%) - Doppelbock is a stronger version of traditional back, first brewed in munich by Paulaner monks. Dark Gold in color, with a malty sweetness mild fruitiness and a medium finish. 

4: Coldstream Autumn Porter (4.8%) - A smooth, creamy dark ale with a rich roasted-malt character. A blend of several dark malts gives this beer a complexity and depth of flavor, combining coffee and dark burnt toast tones, enhanced by late hopping with a heavy charge of atom hops. 

And last by not least,

5: Coldstream Cider (5%) - A refreshing pale straw colour cider, hand-crafted on a traditional rack and cloth press. Long cold conditioning ensures a delightful crisp apple character with subtle spicy notes.
