Moon Bear Dark Ale
Description:
Here’s the soft, fuzzy, huggable little session dark ale we all need right now. Inspired by the endlessly adorable and everso-slightly strange Moon Bear. These bears really know how to chill, and we salute them for it. It’s a big crazy world out there, and we could all learn a thing or two from these fuzzy little gurus. Part proceeds from sales of this beer go towards helping endangered and abused animals, including Moon Bears, live safer, happier lives. Art by: ANGVS
Party & Bullshit IPA - New England
Description:
East Coast anthem IPA - A big ol' hop poppa of a beer, packing an intense mango, tropical fruit hit from US big guns, Simcoe and Mosaic. It's just bigger and juicier than its bitter West Coast counterpart, like sippin' hazy hop nectar from a can. It's all good. Explicit Haze Warning: If cloudy beer offends you please drink from the can or close your eyes.
Shreddin' IPA IPA - American
Description:
A smashable IPA amplified with Strata Hops. Like a classic rock song it never gets old, citrusy and dank with the bitterness kept in check, this one can be played on repeat.
GB BITTER Bitter - Session
Description:
This is all malt brewing at its finest, using only the very best quality ingredients. An english bitter with great depth and drinkability.
Hazy Mosaic IPA - American
Description:
This hazy IPA is made with purified water, pale malts, East Coast Ale Yeast, and the king of all hops, Mosaic. Low bitterness gives it considerable appeal, while forty kilos of post ferment hop additions ratchet up the fruit factor. Like, to eleven… It pours a luminous yellow, with a characteristic haze. Expect aromas of pineapple, candied strawberry, and crushed pine. On the palate, ripe pawpaw, malt sweetness and soft, pillowy mouthfeel.
Welcome To Cloudland - Hāpi Sessions Vol 11: Cloudburst IPA - American
Description:
The Hāpi Sessions 2023, a hat-trick of collaborations from three breweries at the absolute top of their game, each showcasing a different hop forward beer in a playful ‘freestyle’ interpretation of the style that put them on the map. Jet City brewers Cloudburst bring the Seattle sound with a blended take on what they call a North-West IPA. Oregon grown Chinook thrashes out a set with Freestyle Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin, before loading up with shots of Sub-Zero Hop Kief, trashing the stage & leaving through the back door.

Super Special Fancy Riwaka IPA - New England
Description:
How d’you do? I dare say Churly, this Super Special Fancy Riwaka Hazy IPA 6.0% ALC/VOL is exquisite; you’ve really outdone yourself, old boy. You’ll be chuffed to bits sipping this Hazy IPA, it really is divine; fancy a cuppa? We’ve added a jolly good amount of Riwaka, to give you the marvellous flavours of passionfruit, grapefruit and even kumquat. It’s a ravishing brew, just care not to sip too many, pray you end up blotto and spend morning tea feeln’ rather seedy, old bean. Until next time, cheerio.
Stone Beer 2023 Vintage Release Porter - Other
Description:
Each Autumn, we honour the ancient technique of our brewing ancestors with the ritual of adding wood-fired stones to our kettle to create a bold, but approachable porter. And so it is again for Stone Beer 2023. This year's brew was created using choice Australian and German malts, with aromas and flavours of coffee, rich dark chocolate and hints of subtle smoked barley. Our limited winter release pours near black and finishes with a rich, smooth malt character and firm bitterness. Best shared on a cold night over warm conversation.
Up The Hill IPA - Imperial
Description:
We took a bus load from our Coffs Coast venues and bottle shops “Up The Hill” to brew a big collaboration beer! In the same profile as Gorge Drop we haven’t held back to brew a big hefty Double West Coast. A very lean and simple malt bill delivers the hops as intended. The bitterness is right through the pallet and creeps towards biter orange rind. The Lotus hops complement a big Simcoe profile with soft notes of orange. Malt: Coopers Ale & Vienna Hops: Simcoe, Centennial & Lotus
Infrared IPA - Red
Description:
We’re in love with this year’s Red IPA - dubbed Infrared. The colour is undeniably alluring - a deep, dark red that glows ruby in the sunlight, but more important than that of course, is the taste! A rich malty red with just a hint of roast on the palate, and a touch of rye delivering that signature spice. Perfectly complemented by a dry hop of El Dorado and Mosaic for subtle notes of pineapple. mango, citrus and pine. Weighing in at a respectable 7.0% ABV.
Nitro Nerd Vanilla Porter Porter - Other
Description:
Indulge in Yulli's Nitro Nerd Vanilla Porter: a creamy, full-bodied beer with vanilla sweetness, chocolate notes, and a balanced finish.
Shrooms of Doom Stout - Other
Description:
Earlier this year we conspired with The Scratch Bar and Netherworld Arcade to create a delicious monster. These strange Brisbane sister venues came for a visit to rusty old Beechworth to brew a beer. Being creatures of the earth, they went out foraging and came back with mountains of freshly picked pine mushrooms. The resulting savoury stout has escaped from its stainless steel cage to walk the wilderness again, more powerful than ever!
Hasta La Vista Pale Ale - New England
Description:
Get ready to be blown away by the new hop exploding onto the Australian Beer Scene. We’ve Grabbed the very first shipment of the Vista hops and showcased it in this big juicy single hop pale ale. Fierce and fruity vista has a tropical taste profile with mix of papaya, melon, peach and pear flavours, even Arnie would be blown away be these flavours...
Social Club - Mango Wheat Ale Wheat Beer - Other
Description:
A club where only the juicy ripened Mangos and the slinky lightly toasted malt come to play on your tastebuds to invite a creamy mouthfeel and refreshing vibrant finish.
Super Cool Lager Lager - Pale
This is our new, super clean, super crisp, super refreshing, Super Cool lager. We’ve brewed it to be extremely sessionable with a light malt body and a classic dry finish inspired by the great Japanese rice lagers. Taster the Coolness.
