A Leann Dearg, or Red Ale in English, is a malty but easy drinking Irish beer style. A reddish-brown ale with some caramel and toffee-like sweetness. Showing us that there’s a lot more to Irish beer than a certain dry stout.

Check in the Dark is a near-black coloured, rich, complex and malty lager in the style of tmavé pivo, or “dark beer”. This style of beer is a common sight in taverns throughout the Czech Republic. It balances a full body and mouthfeel with high drinkability.

Lighter Note is our German-style pilsner that's light in alcohol but big on flavour. Brewed with German heirloom malt to achieve a pronounced full body, and the quintessential noble hop, Hallertau Mittelfrueh, for a complex aroma and smooth bitterness.

Melody is our Vienna-style lager,  copper coloured, smooth and malty, with light honey and nutty notes. Vienna lagers gain their characteristic flavours from Vienna malt which was first developed by an Austrian brewer in the 1830s.

The Czech Republic has the highest beer (pivo) consumption in the world, with over 140L consumed annually per capita. That’s almost double that of Australia. And you thought Australians liked their beer! You could say that pivo is pivotal to the Czech lifestyle… Pivotal stays true to the 10º Plato lagers preferred in the Czech Republic. It showcases Czech pilsner malt produced using a traditional floor malting process, spicy Saaz hops and a classic Czech lager strain.

Our 2024 Belgian Christmas ale release. This year, we went back to the origins of Christmas beers in Belgium during the early 1900s, when they were largely imported Scotch Ales. In particular, we took inspiration from Gordon Xmas Ale which is still brewed today in Belgium and originated in Scotland in the 1930s. Red Nosed Reinbeer is malty and rich, brewed with British Maris Otter malt and paired with spice and dark fruit notes from the Belgian yeast.

Three Musketeers was brewed as part of the inaugural Sydney Beer Week Pro-Am Competition. We brewed it in collaboration with the homebrewer Nick Vassilev who had the winning entry in the Monastic ale category. For this Belgian Tripel, we hopped it with Loral hops, a hop variety that combines old world ‘noble’ characteristics with new world hop aromatics. Loral contributes a floral and herbal character followed by a backdrop of citrus and dark fruit notes.

This is our version of a Berliner Weisse, at one time the most popular alcoholic drink in Berlin. Staying true to traditional brewing methods, it is a mixed fermentation beer that contains live Lactobacillus souring bacteria and underwent a secondary fermentation with Brettanomyces for over three months. It was also not boiled during the brewing process to emphasise the raw, bready flavour of the German pilsner and wheat malts. It is very pale, refreshingly acidic, highly effervescent and has subtle Brett derived fruity esters.

Bygone Era is an amber lager that balances malt sweetness with smooth beachwood smoke flavours and aromas. Rauchbiers give us a taste of what beer would have been like several centuries ago. It was common back then to dry malt over an open flame, infusing the beer with smoke in the process. Two breweries in Bamberg, Germany (Schlenkerla and Spezial) continue this tradition to this day. For Bygone Era, we used malt smoked over beechwood sourced from a German maltster.

Gose (pronounced go-suh) is a sour wheat ale brewed with salt and coriander. Such was its popularity in the German town of Goslar and surrounding areas during the 1800s, that there were over 80 Gose taverns (Gosenschenkes in German) dedicated to serving it. By the 1900s, the style had lost its popularity and brewing ceased. Only recently has the style been resurrected. Grain of Salt is brewed in the traditional manner with a mixed culture including Lactobacillus souring bacteria and Brettanomyces yeast.

The biggest of all Belgian beers, Quadrupels follow the monastic tradition of naming beers by their alcoholic strength. Fourfold is characterised by intense caramel, dark sugar and malty sweet flavours supported by raisin, date and fig notes.
