Domestic Business Lounge Beers

[NM]

I have noted an increase in the range of beers available in the domestic J lounges. I noted 9 different beers available in SYD last week! That is quite amazing.

But the best news is the Fat Yak on tap that I have seen in SYD and BNE. Its a great drop. Is it in all the domestic J lounges? A few weeks back they had Carlsberg in the dispensing machine in BNE, but now its Fat Yak

I believe the dispenser changes regularly. It was Stella at one stage.

The Lounge (DJ) has had Fat Yak for a couple of years now, though bottled. I've always enjoyed it with their 'Lounge Mix'.

Why am I not surprised that NM has brought up a thread talking about beer :!: :shock:

Is there still the same no beer before 2pm in the Domestic J Lounge like in the QP's around the place??

It is around midday though I am not sure if this is consistent across all the lounges.

Fat Yak in place of Carlsberg? Fantastic!

Out with a terrible beer and in with a fantastic beer. As long as they don't get rid of Coopers Pale, I'll be happy.

Yes the coopers suits me fine.

You are also helping out a old struggling adl family at the same time

IIRC the PER Dom QP had Fat Yak on tap, too.

Well I wish I was able to start a thread about Qantas offering nine different whiskeys in their lounges, but alas that thread would have to be posted regarding proper lounges, like JAL's NRT FLounge or LH's FRA F Terminal.

A wide selection of scotch or beer just seems much more thread-worthy than a discussion about varieties of squashed grapes

Good point.

I don't mind Carlsberg or Stella Artois.

Some of the other beers on tap in Qantas Lounges recently (like Kronebourg) are awful.

What is the big deal with Fat Yak? Is it a wheat beer/pale ale? More like Fat Yuck....

After many trips to Malaysia, the locally brewed Carlsberg gets very weary and always look for something other than Tiger or Carlsberg when travelling in Asia.

Its described as a Pale Ale. However, its a little darker than most Pale Ales. It comes with some flavour, unlike most of the common Aussie mass-production beers that are all basically the same.

I agree, although I never get sick of Tsingtao.

On the other hand, the advantage of drinking Carlsberg in Malaysia is that the price is pretty good:shock:

Given their currency is pegged to the USD (not officially but the central bank does its best), most beers would be good value!

They had Fat Yak on tap in the MEL lounge a week or two ago.
