  • A Few Reviews of Beer!

    Beer is an interesting alcohol, it is highly subject to taste in the sense that some people love it and others hate it with a passion. But for all those who do actually like beer, it can be a picky process when you are choosing what to pick up from the liquor store, and you have probably worked out what beer you like the best. But it can never hurt to try out some other new beers that might end up being your favorite. Check out this blog post below that was on a site called “A Night With The Hops.” It describes a beer called the Samuel Adams White Water IPA. This beer is unique and tastes a little different, but it still gives a delicious taste, so give it a try!

    As much as I may try to ensure that a solid variety of styles are in my house a good punch of hops is something that very often is what my palate wants. So when it comes to grabbing a six-pack and IPA very often finds a way home with me. The two of these I drank were in the Brewer’s Choice Variety 12-pack with a few other good ones, but I look forward to when it will be available on its own sometime in the coming months.A solid addition to their beer family . . .

    Brewery: Boston Beer Company (Boston, MA)

    Name: Whitewater IPA

    Style: American IPA (though probably a Specialty Beer)

    ABV: 5.80% (on bottle)

    Tasting Notes: Stored in the fridge before serving in a pint glass.

    Aroma: A nice hoppy aroma with citrus and pine and a slight, mildly fruity sweetness.  Full, but not overwhelming. – 9/12

    Appearance: Golden honey-like color with a slight orange hue.  Two finger frothy/creamy white head that holds very well and leaves nice lacing on the glass.  Some haziness but pretty clear with rising bubbles visible. – 3/3

    Flavor: A really nice citrusy hop flavor up front with a moderate hit of piney bitterness after that.  Well balanced with a touch of fruity sweetness in there as well.  Seems to have a touch of spiciness.  Finishes a bit dry dry, but with a nice lingering bitterness and some citrus flavor. – 15.5/20

    Mouthfeel: Medium to light in body with a moderate level of carbonation.  Pretty smooth with a nice creaminess that adds a little to the body. – 4.5/5

    Overall Impressions: I like the bit of creaminess in the body and it is a nice addition to what is otherwise a solid IPA.  The bitterness and citrus profile is quite nice.  Goes down very easily and could definitely drink more than a few.  A solid beer and tasty IPA that I will probably grab a six-pack of when it comes out. – 8/10

    Overall: A- (40/50)

    Samuel Adams – Whitewater IPA”

    So basically this blog, which can be found here (or here: http://nighthops.com/) explains that beer lovers should be going out and trying a new beer every time they have a casual one. This means that you are expanding your taste, and even though you might think you love your classic beers like Tooheys or XXXX Bitters, the world of premium lager has a lot more to offer. This is especially important if you are planning on completing the Queensland RSA Course (or any states course) and starting work in a liquor serving establishment! For more information on beer and the news to do with it, check out this blog post that was also on a night with the hops’ blog.

    “The last bit of beer news for January . . .

    This particular blog post has a lot of links in it which go to interesting websites about alcohol related news. I would recommend that you get online and check out these kinds of posts more often simply because they describe the world of beer so vividly. This article, like the last one was sourced from “A Night With The Hops.” But do remember to always drink responsible as the Responsible Service Of Alcohol Training teaches you!

     

  • How NOT to Act in a Bar!

    There are a lot of things that you should not be doing in a bar, but hey, it’s hard to control yourself when you have had a bit too much isn’t it. The RSA Course works to prevent this kind of behavior, but in case this is you, make sure you work on preventing this type of behavior! The video below is a bit long so you might want to skip to around 1 min to speed things up.

    Being a bar tender, there are some actions that you can help stop and others that you can’t. Like you can stop someone getting too drunk and causing violence or harm (taught in the Responsible Service of Alcohol QLD Course, or any state), but you can’t stop people doing some stupid things at their own fault!

     

  • Why Should I Complete My RSA Course and Work in a Bar? And…Then What?

    A bar is one of the places that you could work in once completing the RSA Course, and it seems to be a popular one to start out in. This is likely due to the more relaxed atmosphere that a bar usually has, as opposed to jumping straight into a night club.  But if you are looking to jump into the night club atmosphere, you might want to check out this forum, where someone seeks advice on how to  handle a clubs interview process. The RSA course teaches you a lot of things about safety when working behind a bar, and how to look out for patrons who you think might have had a little too much to drink. But before one has to do any of that, they first have to look at whether or not bar tending is the right thing for them to do. And when considering if it is what you want to do, you should think about several different factors, such as the hours you will have to work, where you will work, what the work consists of, who will I be working for (what kind of boss?) and what skills do I need to learn on the job? These are generally things people think about when becoming a bar tender, and the RSA Course can help you decide, just read on!

    What Exactly Will I Have To Do? RSA Course Teaches

    When working behind a bar, the first and foremost important thing that you will have to be able to do, is communicate with people who are ordering drinks. This is important for a few reasons, but one of these is that you can tell how much someone has had to drink, more often than not, by how much they slur their words and how well they construct sentences! Another thing you may need is a wide knowledge of drinks, and this is not always important nor taught in the RSA Course. But think about it. The less your employer has to train you, the better you will be set ahead from competition. So start studying asap! A good place to start looking at drink mixes is linked here as well.

    So…What’s Next? Impressing Your Boss!

    Upon reading the title above, you were probably thinking, “why would i want to impress my boss after completing the RSA Course and working in a bar?” Well, there are several reasons that you might want to impress your boss with skills that you learn outside of work. See in the bar tending and night life industry, there is a lot of room for movement within any chain of different clubs or bars/restaurants. This means that there is a lot of room to move up in the industry. And what people don’t realise is that the hires are mostly from inside the business. It’s true! Speak to any manager of a club or a bar and you will see that just like you, he had to complete the RSA Course online and get to work behind a bar before he could move up in the industry!

    Ok, So How Do I Do It? RSA Course Online Helps!

    The first thing that you want to do, is get online and complete the RSA Course pre-emptively to getting the job. This just shows your boss that you are more than prepared and keen to get into the industry and show him what you have to offer. Secondly, you want to always pay attention when on the job, show that you never have an ‘off day’ or a time when you really don’t feel like working. Even though there are probably times when you will feel this way. You should then always be going home at night and reflecting on the days work, always thinking about how you could have done it better, and what you will be doing next time to better yourself. At the same time though you should also be going home and thinking about new and exciting things to do at your work, whether it be finding a new drink, or thinking of an event that you would like to host. Either way, get involved and get thinking! Bosses like when you show initiative. Finally, as bad as it sounds you want to make sure that your boss sees you doing these things, or at least hears about it. You want to show off your skills! and show WHY you are ahead of all the other employees that the bar might have! Have a look at the hilarious video below as well on impressing your boss in a more office based environment. Keep in mind this does not actually work though!

    Should I Start Bar Tending? Your RSA Course Should Be Completed First Though!

    If I am describing you now, then you might want to consider bar tending. Do you like to talk to people and hear about their lives while actively participating in a fun and exciting atmosphere? Are you social and can work fast/efficiently? If you are all these things, you would have a high chance of liking the work that you might get behind a bar.

  • What Kinds Of Beer Will You Serve Safely With The RSA Course Online

    There are a massive number of beers that a bar can choose to serve! The RSA Course will teach you how to serve any kind of beer safely so that you do not end up with patrons fighting and causing danger to themselves or others. But what you might be thinking now, is what kinds of beer do most people want? What will people settle for? and should I offer different and uncommon types of beer for a little intrigue?  Well we’ll try to help as much as possible.

    Serving an Uncommon Type of Beer

    The RSA Course will teach you how to serve alcohol correctly and safely behind a bar or in a  restaurant, but it will not teach you how to make your bar more popular, and it will not teach you which kinds of beer you need to serve to make your bar successful. But here’s a tip, you could serve at least one kind of beer that is ‘different’ or uncommon. This could be anything that is not served all that commonly in other local bars and is something that people will recognize you for. For example, ‘Bintang’ is a beer that is exclusively served in Bali, but is well known to a lot of Australians who visit the region. This beer is the kind of drink that, if you served, would allow you to distinguish your bar from others. You would become known for serving Bintang.

    Serving The More Common Beers

    There are several beers that are served more commonly in Australian bars and restaurants simply because they are a crowd pleaser and taste good to most people. But you still have a selection even if it is between the popular beers. You could choose between these, for example, Tooheys New, XXXX Bitter, Carlton Mid, and you could also have a dry beer in there like Tooheys extra dry or ‘teds.’ But ultimately the selection is up to you, so choose depending on what is a better crowd pleaser in your region, and ultimately what will bring in more customers.
