Local Tap House Hottest 100

We hope all the Flavour Crew enjoyed a relaxing Australia Day (no doubt spent around the BBQ with a few cold Hawthorns :). Results are in for the annual Local Tap House Hottest 100. Great to see our Pale Ale ranked 24th against some well respected and established brews. A huge thanks to everyone who voted for us. See the full list here.

And the winner is.......

The Flavour Merchants were on hand at the recent Fed Square Microbreweries Showcase which allows Victorian craft brewers to display their products to the masses. Some 1200 people attended the event which included many industry heavyweights and talented brewers. After two nights of intense tasting, we are very proud to announce our Premium Pale Ale was joint winner of the People's Choice Award in the very competitive "Pale Ale" section. This award is made extra special when you consider the calibre of the other 23 breweries in attendance. Thanks to all who attended (and voted). See results here.
