ISLAND SUNRISE

JUICY PALE ALE

aka Summer Session Ale

4% ABV / 20 IBU

Originally brewed by Davy as a guest brewer on our new pilot kit. This limited release brew has now become one of our core range, as a welcome and salute to our new Brewmaster – Davy Stabler. Featuring Eclipse, El Dorado and Mosaic hops finished on Voss Kveik yeast to give a delicious juicy throwback.

CRAFTY FOX PORTER

PORTER

5.2% ABV /26 IBU 

This version still delivers a thick dark porter but this time infused with Bramling Cross hops from the UK (We couldn’t source Styrian Fox hops this season). The result is still an hoppy dark beer with notes of blackberry …. Rich and delicious

 

BENNY'S NUTTY BROWN ALE

AMERICAN BROWN ALE

4.6% ABV /22 IBU

This nutty brown ale owes it’s existance to local avid homebrewer, Benny. We upscaled his recipe and Benny joined us to brew a big batch. The result is a delicious ale with forward fruit character of Mosaic, Amarillo & Lemondrop hops and a dry hazelnut finish from the very distinctive “go nutty”malted oats

KVEIK OR THE DEAD HAZY IPA

NEW ENGLAND IPA

6.4% ABV /??? IBU

OK, It’s official the brewer has gone crazy!  No bittering hops and a 3-hour whirlpool???  and  then that crazy Norwegian Kveik (Quick) yeast and loads MORE HOPS.  The result is an incredibly juicy, hazy NEIPA, full of flavour and taste ….  well it tastes like full crushed pineapple juice

NZ PILSNER

NZ PILSNER

5% ABV / 28IBU

A small batch featuring kiwi hops Motueka, Pacifica, and Riwaka and brewed with Lallemand’s new lager yeast – Novalager. The result is a light lemon aspen character with enough bitterness to make it session able

 

EASY DRIVER

LIGHT ALE – 2.4% ABV

Inspired by our canning super stars, this light ale was pilot brewed by the locals, for the locals. A light and easy ale with low ABV
* Limited Release *

AUSSIE LAGER

AUSTRALIAN LAGER

3.7% ABV / 12 IBU

A Classic Australian lager brewed with Cluster and Super Pride hops, and the new Novalager yeast from Lallemand. The result is a thirst-quenching light gold lager with a smooth flavour and body, complemented by a mild bitterness and a trace of sweetness. Perfect at the end of a hard day’s labour

GINGER BEER

GINGER BEER

4.8% ABV

We continue the search for a new ginger beer recipe – this one combines Sorghum and Ginger extracts and three different peppers

 

V.E.S.P.A.

VERY EXTRA SPECIAL PALE ALE

5.2% ABV / 26 IBU 

A single hop pale ale featuring Citra hops from USA.  Delicious!   Bronze medal Royal Qld Beer Awards 2023

 

ENDLESS DAZE

HAZY XPA

3.6% ABV /18 IBU

Designed to be a full-flavoured Hazy XPA but only mid-strength alcohol. We conducted a rub-&-sniff test with different ratios of Eclipse and Simcoe hops to get public opinion on the ratio mix, and then made use of the new Gladfields malt – “Big O” Oats. The result is a very nicely balanced XPA – lots of flavour, aroma and good body.  Silver Medal – Royal Qld Beer Awards 2022 & 2023

 

KAFFIR LIME GOSE

CONTEMPORARY GOSE

3% ABV / 8 IBU

We have attempted to replicate the ancient Gose recipe from Northern Germany by adding salt to the brewing water; souring over an extended period in the kettle with unmilled grain; adding coriander and Kaffir Lime to the kettle and using a neutral yeast. The result is a beer that smells like a margarita cocktail ….. a little salty, definitely sour with a soft wheat malt finish. Bronze medal winner 2019 Australian IBA Awards

FRESH HOP PALE

WET HOP PALE ALE

5% ABV /30 IBU

A revamp of our 2022 fresh hop beer. This time with new season Fresh Centennial & Chinook Hop Cones direct from Brisbane growers, Hilltop Hops.  Our goal – to create a clean, no-fuss pale ale to showcase the fresh hop flavour.  This was our third time brewing with fresh flowers, so we added 6kg of cones in the whirlpool stage to extract maximum aronmas, and added more of the same hops in the dry hopping.  The result is a light ale with aroma and flavours of fresh summer stone fruit. Delicious and enough dry finish to leave you wanting more

 

DAVY'S IRISH RED

IRISH RED ALE

4.2% ABV /20 IBU

Imagine a brilliantly red, rich, silky smooth ale with a creamy mouthfeel and just enough bitterness to cut any malt sweetness. A CLASSIC Irish Red with minimal UK hops

FLAMINGO POP

HARD SODA

4.7% ABV 

Originally a limited release Christmas celebration, this tastes far too good and has actually came about by a bit of a mistake –  We thought the bag of berries in the freezer was raspberries but discovered when it was upended into the cooking pot, it was actually dark sweet cherries. So, this hard soda boasts a blend of cherries and raspberries. It is gluten free

NZ IPA

WEST COAST IPA

6.4% ABV/40 IBU. 

A salute to all kiwi ingredients including Nelson Sauvin, Pacifica and Riwaka hops, this west coast style IPA boast fresh fruit aromas and a nice dry bitterness typical of this beer style. Far too easy drinking for the ABV..

HOP THERAPY

PALE INDIA ALE

5.5% ABV / 28 IBU 

This Version of the Pale India Ale features Mosaic as the Aroma hop, giving distinct passionfruit and grapefruit aromas and a rich flavour. Bronze medal winner – Royal Qld Food & Wine Show Beer Awards 2021 Bronze Medal winner Australian Independent Brewers Awards 2021, Silver medal winner – Royal Qld Beer Awards 2022. GOLD medal Royal Qld Beer Awards 2023 and IBA Beer Awards 2023
