5% ABV/20 IBU. 

After enjoying so many good Pilsners in Europe, Craig set to work to brew a European-style Pilsner, with a multi-step mash, Hallatau Hops and a very long tank-lagering. There has been a lot of sampling from the tank on this one

FRESH HOP PALE 2024

WET HOP PALE ALE

4.4% ABV /20 IBU

A light clean pale ale with 2024 new season wet hops. This time with new season Fresh Centennial, Columbus & Cascade 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 is our third season brewing with fresh flowers, so we added 6kg of cones in the whirlpool stage to extract maximum aromas. The result is a light ale with subtle fruit aroma and flavours – a very easy drinking session ale

SUNSHINE SPARKLING ALE - IMPERIAL

Australian Sparkling Ale

7% ABV/20 IBU. 

A golden ale with a mild hop aroma and bitterness backed by a soft toffee malt finish. Silver medal winner at 2024 Royal Qld Beer Awards

KIWI SMaSH

Single Malt and Single Hop Ale

 4.8% ABV / 16 IBU

Developed to showcase a very new hop – “Superdelic”  this beer features Lager Light Malt from the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand and the new Kiwi hop – Superdelic. It is very light in colour and exhibits aromas of candy and some say bubblegum from the hops

OATMEAL STOUT

STOUT

4.5% ABV/20 IBU. 

Craig wanted a simple no-fuss stout for winter – one with lots of body, not too high in ABV but very easy drinking  and that is exactly what he has achieved – a tasty number with 15% oats

PINE LIME GOSÉ

KETTLE-SOURED GOSÉ

4.5% ABV /20 IBU

Taking the base recipe for our ever popular Kaffir Lime Gosé, we have used local spray-free Tahitian Limes with the fruit in the mash and added zest at whirlpool. Then we have added 15kg of local pineapple juice late in the ferment.  The result is a golden ale with a white fluffy head, definitely salty and just a hint of sour lime on the first palate but a soft interesting finish.

DOPPELBOCK

OKTOBERFEST

6.7% ABV/19 IBU. 

A beautiful red malty European lager brewed specifically for Oktoberfest

CUSTARD PIE STOUT & CHOCOLATE RYE STOUT

IMPERIAL STOUT

 8.6% ABV / 32 IBU

Inspired by a brew brought in by local home brewer, Wayne Gilmour, we got Wayne and mate, Phil in for a brew day. It meant milling a big grain bill with some super specialty malts. From brew we split the wort across two ferment vessels – one with added lactose and custrad pie flavouring (desert in a glass) and the other we let the malts shine through. the result is two very different beers – one perfect for desert and the other perfect with fresh natural oysters.
