EMPORIUM  -  EXTRA  SPECIAL  BITTER

6.5%
This is a traditional English style beer. Lots of malt with a slightly biscuity roast character on the end and some floral hops in the mid palate Named after England left back Luke Shaw's left foot. Sadly it couldn't quite win the trophy, but it is a damn fine left foot never-the-less.

Rhyme  x  reason  -  Big  Banana Wheat Beer

4.9%
Don’t fear the Big Banana, while it looks awfully intimidating its fluffy mouthfeel and nostalgic flavours will surely please ya. State of mind of exactly where you’d rather be.

Parrotdog  -  falcon  apa

5.4%
Falcons stalk the skies, commanding their territory with focus and intensity; a totem for this American Pale Ale.

Our interpretation of the style takes modern U.S. hop flavours of citrus and tropical fruit and lets them soar on a light and nimble body.

Behemoth  -  Upside  down  brown  ale  

5.5%
The world is upside down. IPA's are wildly unpopular and Brown Ales are king. OK it was nice to dream for a second. This beer is nothing crazy, a section of delicious brown and crystal malts, some US amarillo and cascade. Made to sit and sip and enjoy. Maybe enjoy it with a good pork fillet, scotch fillet steak or some other vego equivalent.​

Flavours: Eclipse Wheat from Gladfield Malt, is a roasted wheat that brings colour and complexity without the burnt toast bitterness. The Brown and Chocolate roasted malts bring the depth and overall character launching dried fruit characteristics to your palate​

Rhyme  x  reason  -  mt  alpha  wcipa

6.7%
An old school IPA with heaps of NZ & US big super star hops all huddled up with a clean fermentation profile. High perceived bitterness & peaking stonefruit flavours.​

Heart  of  darkness  -  some  sorcerer  hazy  ipa

6.5%
This packs way more grunt and flavour than the 6.5% ABV might indicate. Loads of ripe tropical fruit, like a banana smoothie made with a tin of fruit salad blitzed in, but there's just enough citrus and grassy bitterness to hold all the sweetness in check. A creamy, lush mouthfeels creates a chewy, hefty mouthful of beer with a surprisingly dry finish.​

beer  baroness  -  dare  to  diva  mixed  berry  sour

5.3%
A tart and refreshing mixed berry sorbet sour. Brewed with Blackberries, Boysenberries and Raspberries.
Dare to Diva pours a stunning deep hazy magenta. Heavy jam-like and berry sorbet aromas greet you on the nose and the addition of Oats and Wheat provide enough body to balance out the sharp acidity.​

Rhyme  x  Reason  -  Kolsch

4.3%

TOWNSHEND -  HALF  MAST  SESSION  ALE

2.2%
After much experimenting, we have created a lighter style beer with a proper depth of flavour balanced with enough hops to remind you that bigger is not always better. The lower alcohol level means you can relax about the numbers and enjoy the moment.

parotdog  -  yellowhammer  hazy  ipa

4.8%
Bright and lively like a parrot, but small and ubiquitous like a sparrow, the Yellowhammer adds a flash of colour and a musical chirp to open spaces all over the country. The way it does a lot with just a little inspires our smooth and refreshing hazy pale ale, streaked with the striking tropical notes of Strata hops

8  wired  -  celery  salt  hippy  sour  ale

4%
Refreshingly sour & dry hopped. Very fruity, almost zesty and balanced with subtle savoury notes of celery and salt​

Hints of cocoa on the nose, soft delicate malt. Easy drinking and uncomplicated. Just the beer you need before the Great Wave comes.

Sprig  &  Fern  -  Doppelbock

8.0%
We reckon this multi-award winning Doppelbock  might just be The Greatest of All Time.

Six quality malts give this smooth, full-bodied German-style Doppelbock a dark almost black colour and a rich, dominant maltaroma and sweetness. It has a warming but soft smooth mouth feel, whilst the aroma is toasted and biscuity with delicate hints of caramel.
