Inspired by cool, clear winter nights, camping by the fire, and enjoying what nature has gifted us, The Woodsman Amber Ale is the perfect winter accompaniment. Notes of stone fruit hops are paired with soft, toffee malts, balanced by a velvety mouth feel and light bitterness. Malt driven, smooth and easy drinking, for the Woodsman in all of us....

The Imperial version of our Extra Stout. This stylish stout is harmony of hops and malts, the beer is barrel aged in reclaimed french oak hogsheads to add a subtle complexity without any oaky dominance. An Imperial, next level, strong beer.
Chur Brewing Hop Frolic Rye IPA IPA - Rye
FUSAMI Victory Lager - IPL (India Pale Lager)
55 IBU
Camperdown, NSW
FUSAMI Victory is a hybrid style delivering all the things you know and love about an IPA (hops hops and more hops) with the crisp clean malt character of a Pilsner from a long, cold fermentation. Massive multiple additions of Motueka and Nelson Sauvin plus crazy amounts of Australian and US aroma hops deliver a knockout hop flavour and aroma of stone fruit, mango and angostura bitters creating a perfectly balanced, super clean summer thirst quencher. "Victory" refers to Wayward's successful battle to maintain our name in the face of a Trademark opposition from brewing giant SAB Miller (India), so raise a glass in celebration of the little guy and our victory in an epic 2 year David-vs-Goliath battle!

Hybrid IPA IPA - American
60 IBU
Salisbury, QLD
Ballistic X Deep Creek Colab. A perfect hybrid beer. We took the grist and bitterness of a West Coast IPA and paired it with an East Coast style dry hopping schedule. Featuring passionfruit and gooseberry aromas and fresh bursts of pineapple flavour. This balanced hybrid ends with a bitter dry finish.
Chew Tang Can IPA - New England

The NEIPA of our Brew Tang Can series. Cloudy, big on fruit and heavy on the hops, the Chew is worth making a ruckus about.
