The Raconteur is SOLD OUT

The Raconteur IPA tells the classic story of American India Pale Ale with hops the protagonist.  A hop driven beer in every way, hops are added throughout the entire brewing process from the mash tun to the kettle and even the fermenter.  The classic "Three C's" combination of Centennial, Chinook and Cascade hops balance the caramelised malt profile in a way sure to give you a story with a happy ending. 6.4% ABV.

Did you know that most of the “light beers” out there are brewed at high alcohol then diluted down with water to their final strength? Yeah, we didn’t much like the sound of that either. That’s why we hand crafted this Light Ale. It’s brewed at its final strength using 100% malt and has up to four times the raw ingredients of most other light beers. Enjoy the taste of a full bodied, full strength beer with less alcohol. ABV 2.9%

When we think of Summer, we think of Cricket; and this is our beer for watching the Cricket. Clean, crisp and golden, this beer is easy drinking and has subtle notes of pineapple, passionfruit and citrus followed by a dry finish. We brew this beer all year round so you can anticipate the Cricket season even during the depths of winter. It's suitable for the short or long versions of the game. ABV 4.5%

The classic Bohemian style. The pure rain water from the Otway Ranges used this beer is very closely matched to the water used in the Pilzen region of the Czech Republic. That’s why we think our Pilsner is simply spot on. A generous helping of Saaz hops late in the boil give our Pilsner its distinctive aroma. Enjoy this great session beer. ABV 4.8%

On Hiatus - Back Soon!

Who would have thought to put Orange Peel and Coriander Seed into a beer? The Belgians did and this our salute to their style – with our own twist, of course. Extremely thirst quenching and deep golden in colour, our Wheat Beer is brewed with the pure rain water from the Otway Ranges. Enjoy on its own or with a light salad. Oh and did we mention that this beer is spectacular with seafood?  ABV 4.3%

The beautiful Otway Ranges of Victoria are where we’re from and we created this beer using our region as inspiration. Brewed with pure Otway rainwater, this medium bodied ale is refreshing and complex due to the six varieties of malt in the grist. It’s balanced with hops sourced from Europe and North America so no matter if you’re in the Otways or elsewhere, just take a sip, close your eyes and imagine you’re here with us. ABV 4.9%

When most people think of “Irish Beer” they think of stout. Look a little closer and you’ll find Celtic Red Ale. Our Red Ale has a gorgeous copper colour like a sunset and it’s a full bodied, malt-driven beer to be sure. A hint of Roasted Barley adds a subtle burnt flavour on the back palate. Great at any time of the year. ABV 5.0%

On Hiatus - Back Soon!

Mention the word “Stout” and people generally drink one then move on to something else. Prickly Moses Stout has been crafted to be a sessional beer instead. The full range of malt tones from caramel and toffee through to roasted coffee enhance the complexity on the palate whilst the medium body and dry finish make it easy drinking. Try it with a chocolate dessert and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. ABV 5.0%

Inspired by the mysterious legend of big black cats that roam the Victorian bush, this beer is an India Black Ale.  Like an India Pale Ale, Black Panther IBA is a full bodied beer that’s rich in hop bitterness.  A generous addition of North American hops both in the boil and in the fermenter impart a strong citrus aroma.  Caramelised black malt imparts a subtle burnt flavour to this rare beer.  Savour now. 6.2% ABV.

This golden ale is an unfiltered, rich, complex, malty ale with an outstanding bouquet.  A distinctive yeasty note with a slightly spicy aroma and a warming, slightly alcoholic finish.  Very smooth with a silky character.  A unique styled beer inspired from the French and Belgium farmhouse styled beers. This Beer is one of three in the Otway Trilogy Series of French and Belgian Farmhouse Ales other in the range include Reserve De Otway and Saison. ABV 6.3%

A Belgian Styled Saison, the use of a specific Saison yeast imparts typical tartness also underlying wine notes with one of the yeast strain in the mix having red wine origins.
