Shadow Puppet is our first West Coast Pilsner, a style that combines the clean malt and yeast profile of a pilsner with the big hopping of a West Coast IPA.

Two Mates West Coast Pilsner

Pilsner, 5.8% ABV

Brewery: Two Mates Brewing

Location: South Lismore, New South Wales Australia

Description:

Also referred to as California IPA by some, this relatively new unofficial style is somewhat of a departure from the old school American IPA of the 90’s and early 2000’s. The malt base is leaned down, and much more closely resembles that of a traditional lager. The hops however, are still the main event for this style. This WC Pilsner has Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt as a base alongside some Vienna malt for some grain/cracker influence and a touch of colour. In the brewhouse they have used Magnum for bittering alongside Perle and finished it with a liberal dosing of Czech Saaz. As for the dry hop, there is both Simcoe (citrus / grapefruit / pine) and NZ Nelson Sauvin (refined white wine / gooseberry) which are allowed to fully shine without much else in the way. Drinkability is high with a lot of hop flavour too, so it’s win/win.

Bridge Road Cali Double IPA

IPA - Imperial / Double, 8.1% ABV

Brewery: Bridge Road Brewers

Location: Beechworth, Victoria Australia

Description:

A fresh take on the West Coast DIPA, it's big and bold whilst retaining balance and supreme drinkability. A citrus-heavy aroma, with chinotto and candied orange notes, opens up to an off-dry palate of tangerine and pineapple juice. The finish is classic west coast with grapefruit pith and a well-integrated residual heat making way for a long bitter finish.
