Bourbon Barrel Aged - White Stout (2021) Stout - White
6% ABV
Brewery: Hawkers Beer
Location: Reservoir, VIC
Beer Description: A stout doesn’t need to be dark to have a great deal of depth—complex layers of malt and notes of white chocolate are bound together by bourbon barrel ageing and perfectly accentuated by subtle additions of roasty coffee and vanilla. Step into the light, and see what you couldn’t in the dark.
Sleep When You're Dead Black IPA IPA - Black / Cascadian Dark Ale
Mango Macadamia Weiss Bar Sour Sour - Berliner Weisse
Brewery: Revel Brewing Co
Location: Bulimba, QLD
Beer Description: Tipplers Tap, You are Awesome. Nothing beats a refreshing ice cream treat on a balmy Queensland afternoon. This beer is a 'kettle sour' based on a summer classic, the Mango weiss bar, and been loaded with fresh Mango, Macadamia & Coconut to recreate an Aussie classic
O.W.A West Coast IPA IPA - American
70 IBU
Brewery: Old Wives Ales
Location: Thornbury, VIC
Beer Description: Our take on (and tribute to) a classic malt-driven, hop-forward American West Coast IPA. Solid bitterness with the malt to back things up.
'Uncle Gus' Finger Lime Pilsner Pilsner - Other
Brewery: Yulli's Brews
Location: Alexandria, New South Wales
Beer Description: Finger lime pilsner
Aries ESB English Bitter
34 IBU
Brewery: Bad Shepherd Brewing Co.
Location: Cheltenham, Victoria
Beer Description: The long-awaited return of our ESB is finally here with a new name and fresh look. Originally launched in 2016 as part of our Brew Crew Series, our take on the traditional British style Extra Special Bitter pours a beautiful rusty hue with subtle hints of caramel and biscuit malt, and a delightfully creamy mouthfeel. The name is a nod to the mighty Ram; a symbol synonymous with change and as we leave 2020 in our dust, we are all looking forward to that.
Bright-er Daze IPA - New England
45 IBU
Brewery: Dainton Beer
Location: Carrum Downs, Victoria
Beer Description: From hop bines in Bright to the Dainton kettles in less than 24 hours, this is our wet-hopped salute to the incredibly resilient folk of the Victorian High Country. Bred tough and beautiful, and for good reason!
Nightlife Dark Lager Lager - Dark
Brewery: Green Beacon
Location: Teneriffe, QLD
Beer Description: Dark roasty larger with hints of chocolate and a smooth finish
Pils 'n' Thrills Pilsner - Other
Brewery: Garage Project
Location: Wellington City, Wellington
Beer Description: 'Out of style' according to the rule books. Pils'n'Thrills is the Garage's irreverent take on the classic Bohemian Pilsner. German malts combined with American Summit hops create a refreshingly crisp, golden beer with a snappy bitterness and lifted lemon citrus notes. It's definitely not your average pilsner, but then some rules were meant to be broken.
Kessel Run IPA IPA - American
35 IBU
Brewery: Nine Fingers Brew
Beer Description: Using Falconner's Flight, Galaxy and Mosaic hops, this is a big juicy delicious East Coast American IPA - May the Fourth be with you! This is a 'one-off' keg only collaboration brew bringing together Nine Fingers Brew with Pixel and Little Alchemist Brewing. Created for the Annual 'May the Fourth' Star Wars themed celebrations that happen all over Australia, this beer will be tapped and available from May 4 2019 until it runs out... Available in South Australia, Canberra, Melbourne, Dubbo and all across Sydney - check out each of the breweries social media pages for exact locations.
Kokomo Brown Ale - Other
Brewery: Boatrocker Brewers & Distillers
Location: Braeside, Victoria
Beer Description: Coconut Brown Ale
the Lizard King IPA - American
Status Quo Pale Ale - New England
Brewery: Mountain Culture Beer Co.
Location: Katoomba, New South Wales
Beer Description: Status Quo is a New England Pale Ale. Made for hop lovers with massive late and dry hop additions, it's full flavoured and more tropical than the Hawaiian ukulele orchestra.
XPA Pale Ale - International
Brewery: Deeds Brewing
Location: Glen Iris, Victoria
Beer Description: A little bit more flavour, a little bit more aroma, and a little bit more approachable, our XPA is going for just that little bit more. A laid back, easy sipper designed to not break the bank but still keep things flavourful. Made with 100% Australian grown pale malt and juicy blend of hops, our XPA finishes slightly dry coasting on a balanced bitter finish. Again, the perfect sipper regardless of the season.
Bliss Lager - Euro Pale
Brewery: Garage Project
Location: Wellington City, Wellington
Beer Description: Bliss, a state of complete happiness and harmony. You can find it in the most familiar of things. Sun, freshly cut grass, the smell of a BBQ - in the right combination even the simplest elements can elevate an experience to another level. Brewed with New Zealand malt and Motueka hops, Bliss is fermented cold and stored at subzero temperatures to produce a delicately crisp, clean, easy drinking lager. Simple, familiar things taken to a new level. Drink yourself more Bliss. Originally brewed for Ben Shrewry’s Attica restaurant - the perfect accompaniment to their backyard BBQ.
Alpha Queen Pale Ale Pale Ale - American
35 IBU
Brewery: Boatrocker Brewers & Distillers
Location: Braeside, Victoria
Beer Description: Alpha Queen is our flagship beer... It was the one we made in our garage, and the first one we released... It's a hoppy hybrid pale ale. We use a base of UK malt, loads of American hops (Citra, Centennial, Cascade) and our house strain of yeast. All these combine to create a hoppy, but very drinkable pale ale.
Newy Pacific Lager Lager - Pale
20 IBU
Brewery: Hope Brewery
Location: Pokolbin, NSW
Beer Description: Newy is an Australian style Lager, pure and pristine featuring Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops. Citrus and tropical aromas, very mild malt flavours and balanced bitterness makes it an enjoyable, delicious and tasty beer.
Kol Schisel Pale Ale - Australian
25 IBU
Brewery: Big Shed Brewing Concern
Location: Royal Park, South Australia
Beer Description: This ale masquerading as a lager is a cracking beer for those unsure that they are into ‘craft’ beers. Subtle bready, malt flavours backed up with a hop spiciness that makes you want to come back for another. Its not too boozy so you can enjoy a couple after work, at the Sunday arvo BBQ or when you’ve just come off the beach.
