SoCal IPA, 6.2% ABV

IPA - American

Brewery: Mountain Culture Beer Co.

Location: Emu Plains, New South Wales Australia

What a thrill to brew a beer with the guys at Stone, a titan of a craft brewery being the 9th largest in America and pioneers of the West Coast style. 

Honouring that, we've used classic American hops - Simcoe and Centennial - and an Aussie favourite - Vic Secret - for a beer that blends the best of Southern California with the best of our Great Southern land for a balanced, bright, resiny SoCal IPA.

There are few things in this world that go together more harmoniously than hops and malt, except perhaps the ‘70s and poor choices in wallpaper.

Brewery: Beerfarm

Location: Metricup, Western Australia Australia

Description:

We make beers for every taste – from smashable lagers and complex IPAs to Sours and Saisons packed with flavour. Some of us love cask ale, others are partial to beers from the barrel – whatever you’re into, you’ll hopefully find a flavour to call your own. We’re humbled that word of our beers is spreading as our brews gain notoriety across Australia and even internationally recognised awards. Whatever you choose, all of our beers are best drunk fresh, right here in the country air we love so much. If you’re drinking them elsewhere, we transport cold as a matter of priority (Because who likes warm beer?). If beer is not your jam, we have cider, crafted with fresh Manjimup apples. Beers, Steers and John Deere's since 2015
