I can smell beer being made in Brisbane!

Originally uploaded by Brisbane Is Home.


It might be a blurry photo, but if you could smell the beautiful smell of barley being roasted for beer, you would not mind at all. I am just leaving work, which is right near the famous Milton Brewery, where XXXX beer is made. (Say Four-ex). When fantasy/humour author Terry Pratchett parodied Australia in his Discworld book “The Last Continent”, he named it “FourEcks” in honour. Just wanted to let you know about one of the great smells of the city. Keep reading to see four much clearer photos of the brewery.
