Weihenstephan
From the world's oldest still-functioning brewery, consistently winning
international competitions, these Germans know what they are doing.
After all, the monastery has been officially licensed to brew since
1040AD. We have the full available "core" list as well as the seasonal
Korbinian strong dark larger.
They say...
Hefeweissbier
- naturally cloudy, refreshing, yeasty
fragrance and taste
Kristallweissbier
- pearling, effervescent taste, crystal wheat
beer. It quenches your thirst like no other beer
Dunkel -
supple, malty and mellow. Its harmonious flavour is the great strength
of our dark wheat beer
Original -
the long lager time makes our pale beer a matter of mild, flavourful
beer enjoyment
Tradition -
an aromatic beer with a malty character. An archetypal Bavarian beer
Pilsner -
slightly bitter, mild, with a fragrance of hops - a beer with character
Korbinian -
a double bock beer that has what it takes. With a malty aroma and great
taste

Weihenstephan's radio
ad's - if you want the pronunciation!

Happy Birthday to the folk at 3
Ravens! The 3 Ravens Brewing Company has just turned five and have
released their brand new 55
American Pale Ale beer to celebrate. A full-bodied, voluptuous APA.
As they say, REAL BEER, REAL LOCAL...
Come in and toast them with one of their
own.

They say...
Murray’s Sassy Blond is
a Belgian-style Pale Ale, and we believe it's the only beer of its
kind brewed in the country. A deep, golden colour with a tight,
off-white head, Murray’s Sassy Belgian Blond has a spicy-orange flavour
and aroma, with hints of toasty/biscuity malt and finishing with
restrained bitterness. The unique characteristics of this beer are
derived from a distinctive Belgian yeast and imported Styrian Golding
hops. With a moderate alcohol content of 4.5% alc/vol, Graeme
recommends Murray’s Sassy Belgian Blond as an excellent accompaniment
to seafood.
Murray’s Nirvana Pale Ale is a hybrid of an
American Pale Ale, combined with the classic English Pale Ale. A
brilliant light-golden colour, Murray’s Nirvana Pale Ale has a
full-bodied finish and complex character. With an alcohol content of
4.5% alc/vol, Nirvana’s fresh citrusy/spicy aroma and flavour is
strongly influenced by generous use of New Zealand-grown Cascade and
Hallertau hops. This is well balanced with biscuity/toffee flavours
from selected caramalts.
Winner of a Silver medal at the New Zealand
International Beer Awards 2006, and a Bronze medal at this year’s
Australian International Beer Awards, Murray’s Nirvana Pale Ale will be
available all year round. Graeme says it’s great on its own, or an
excellent accompaniment to spicy Thai, Indian or Vietnamese food.
Murray’s Pilsner, with its spicy/citrus hop character and
wheat-biscuity malt balance, is an intense lager experience. Big
on
flavour and aroma, enjoy on its own or with your favourite barbequed
food.

Bridge Road Brewers
They say...
Beechworth
Pale Ale opens with high notes of candied malts and tropical
fruits and closes with a delectable hop profile. Often the yard stick
of microbreweries, this beer is based on classic American style Pale
Ales; crisp and refreshing; a mouthful of extroverted American hops.
The hefty hop profile makes this beer one for the real enthusiast and
pairs well with spicy or oily foods.
We say...
Part of their special " Chevalier"
range, the Saison in it's
classy 750ml Pinot Noir-type bottle is a large step above the usual
suspects and a good example of the style. Perfect for sharing or even
for keeping to yourself!

Henry of Harcourt
They say...
The Henry family runs an orchard and cidery
nestled under Mount Alexander at Harcourt, just over an hour North of
Melbourne. They specialise in making "Real Ciders & Perry"
utilising the best local fruit and traditional cidermaking methods.
We say...
Nothing like the commercialised stuff, this is for real. Their Perry is known internationally and
if you've never had a perry (essentially, sort of a pear cider) this is
the one to have.

SEASONAL BEERS
| Seasonal |
They say...
The brewers
were knee deep in our hops for this special brew; using
hops
just harvested from our own vines which were then steeped in our
conditioning vats for months, this is a traditional English style
bitter.
Copper in colour with a strong malt character, balanced by the use of
our
new seasons Willamette and Goldings hops to create a full hop flavour
and
aroma. The complex grain bill provides a full, rich and malty ale that
has
hints of marmalade and lashings of hop resin flavours, finishing with a
peppery spicy note.
