Take a classic English Porter recipe, add some lactose for residual sweetness and creamy mouthfeel, and Chai spice powder from Sunshine Coast Roastery, and you have a beer version of a Chai Latte.  This came about after enjoying a dirty chai coffee from Jaz at Shark Bait Coffee – next thing we were mixing chai powder with the oatmeal stout and the idea of a new recipe was born

Our Malt supplier developed a new Maize Malt, and what do you do with Maize malt ……. Build a nice easy drinking Mexican Lager to beat the summer heat! This does just that, so much so, that we repeat it each summer!  Bronze medal winner – Royal Qld Food & Wine Show Beer Awards 2022

After enjoying so many good Pilsners in Europe, Craig set to work to brew a European-style Pilsner, with a multi-step mash, Hallertau Hops and a very long tank-lagering. There has been a lot of sampling from the tank on this one. Silver Medal 2024 Royal Qld Beer Awards

There’s a story to this one ….  Which translates to it cannot be repeated, so it is up to enjoy at our 2026 Passport to Malt & Mayhem event. 

 Back story = Every brewer’s nightmare: interruptions on brew day.  While measuring hops, Craig was pulled away mid-process. When he returned, he couldn’t remember where he’d left off. In a moment of frustration, he sealed up the assorted hops, tossed them back in the freezer and started from scratch. That unexpected “mystery hop” blend found its way into the dry hop of this beer – and the result is a bold. hop-forward West Coast IPA bursting with herbal and fruit aromas, balanced bitterness and a crisp, dry finish.

 The name adds another layer of meaning. Callum earned naming rights to this brew at our last Christmas party – and chose to name it after his and Crystal’s first-born. 

Originally brewed on our new pilot kit as a limited release brew. It  has now become one of our core range, featuring Eclipse, El Dorado and Mosaic hops finished on Verdent yeast to give a delicious juicy throwback.

The saying goes when the world gives you lemons make lemonade – well that is what happened here. Epic Mowing gave us kilos of spray-free mandarins, so what better way to say thank you than make a beer or two with them. This one we added pulp in the mash and then peel into the kettle. Finish it with a Belgian Wit yeast and you have a classic European Wheat beer with a Mandarin twist

A small batch featuring 100% Pacifica Hops from New Zealand and brewed with Lallemand’s new lager yeast – Novalager.  The result is a light lemon aspen character with enough bitterness to make it sessionable

OK, It’s official the brewer has gone crazy!  No bittering hops and a 3-hour whirlpool???  and  then that crazy Norwegian Kveik (Quick) yeast and loads MORE HOPS.  The result is an incredibly juicy, hazy NEIPA, full of flavour and taste ….  well it tastes like full crushed pineapple juice.

An easy drinking Lager-like Summer Ale featuring Enigma hops from Tasmania.

Craig was craving an easy drinking stout – something deep and delicious with lots of body without astringency of heavy roast barley. Something you could session on now the days are getting cooler.  He studied the malts we had in stock and set to work on the pilot kit, to create a very lightly carbonated brew, to be finished and served on Nitrogen. 

The result has exceeded expectations and created a visual experience as the nitro cascades in the glass.
