What's On Tap

Guten Tag!
Firstly, “Helles” means “pale in color,". A full bodied, golden traditional European lager designed to be full flavoured and easy drinking. Helles lagers have a bit of sweetness that balances the addition of Hallertau and Perle hops that give floral, spicy aromas and a medium to low bitterness. A clean, complex and refreshing beer that you just don't want to put down. PROST! 🍻

Hops: Hallertau Mittelfruh, Perle
ABV: 5%

• Style: German Pils
• Aroma: Light Citrus
• Flavour: Light Citrus/Malt Sweetness
• Hops: Citra
• About:Crisp with a malty backbone. This is the kinda drop you want cold and fresh, just the way we do it. Our Lager is tapped directly from the tank, stored at 0.5C for its entire life, never touching sunlight until it's poured into your glass. Best consumed under the shade of a Coolibah tree.

This ain’t no Great Northern! Clean and invigorating, from the first sip you'll be greeted with a crisp flavour profile that perfectly balances subtle malt sweetness with a hint of floral hops. The light-bodied mouthfeel is effervescent, providing a refreshing burst of carbonation. The finish is smooth and dry, with a lingering crispness that makes you reach for another sip. This lager is exceptionally smooth and easy-drinking.

Flavour: Light malt flavours provide a gentle sweetness, perfectly balanced by a mild hop bitterness that leaves a dry, refreshing finish.

Aroma: Subtle notes of Citrus

Mouthfeel: Light body that coats the mouth nicely then descends into a dry finish thanks to the heavy dose of rice in the grist.

• About: Low-alcohol beer, it's like regular beer's smarmy cousin who shows up to the party, keeps things light, and leaves you feeling pleasantly surprised. With a hint of alcohol to make you say, 'Hey, I'm having a good time,' and not enough to make you start reciting Shakespeare to your pet goldfish.
  
  For me this beer is twofold - #1 it's a challenging beer to brew as to keep alcohol low - standard brewing norms are pretty much thrown out the window. #2 How many punters drink Heaps Normal as they are driving and would a 1% beer go down a treat instead?

Pouring an obsidian black, it’ll make a long black look like dishwater, with a creamy tan head that hopefully doesn’t disappear like your best mate when it’s his round.

Flavour: It’s like biting into a rich, dark chocolate bar while sipping on a freshly brewed espresso, all rounded off with the subtle nuttiness of oats. There’s a cheeky bitterness that sneaks in at the end, leaving your taste buds nodding in approval.

Aroma: Take a sniff and you’ll think you’ve wandered into a hipster café. You’ll get smacked in the nose with roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and toasted oats.

Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and smoother than your best pickup line after a few pints. It’s got dry bitterness at the end, just to remind you it’s a serious beer, not some fruity nonsense.

Pairings: Goes down a treat with a beef stew that’s been cooking longer than your nan’s life story, or a chocolate cake that’s richer than a mining mogul. Or even better, sat around the bush telly with mates.

Stout - Because sometimes, the best adventures happen after dark.

• Style: Ginger Beer
• Aroma: Slightly sweet, ginger spice
• Flavour: Ginger
• Hops: IS NOT GLUTEN FREE
• About: Yes. Yes we do! After being asked every day if we have a ginger beer, the answer is finally a resounding YES! This brew is packed full of gingery spice and goes perfectly with a wedge of lime.

• Style: Cider
• Aroma: Apple/Lemon Myrtle
• Flavour: dry cider but not tart, lemon, apple, hint of honey
• About: We used Granny Smith apple juice which usually makes a tart cider. It fermented out quite low which gives it that dry finish. We decided to use up the left-over honey to back sweeten it a bit then thought the left-over lemon myrtle might make this cider a bit different than just a run-of-mill tart cider. The result is a dry but somehow balanced cider with notes of apple, lemon myrtle, and a touch of honey

This dry sour is packed with fresh yellow plum puree to give a fresh and fruity flavour.

• Style: Kettle Sour

• Notes: Fresh Plum, Young Fruit, Dry / Fresh
  
• Hops: Superdelic
