Hop Harvest Brew Day!

It's hop harvest time with Hawthorn-grown Cascade and Fuggles hop flowers being used late in the kettle this batch is sure to have plenty of hop aroma and flavour much like my hop filled car on the drive down!

Here's a funky view inside the giant tea bag as it gets ready for a late boil dunking!

Hawthorn hop harvest coming

With what may be the only inner-city hop farm in Melbourne, Hamish has used his horticulture qualifications and turned his Hawthorn backyard into a hop jungle of Cascade and Fuggles vines. While this may have had the neighbours scratching their heads, the good news is we've been able to harvest enough fresh hop flowers to produce a Special Release Hop Harvest batch of our Pale Ale. Exciting stuff!!

This limited release batch will be available in late April. Keep an eye out for the tell tale stickers on the 6 packs.

Pale Ale ranks 10th in Hottest 100 Aussie craft beers!

Voting has now been collated in the Hottest 100 Aussie craft beer online survey. Our Premium Pale Ale has come in at number 10 (up from 24 last year). This is a great result for our flagship brew.
