This month we head to foreign territories to search out are beer shopping list. Now the usual descriptors are a bit too general so think of it more this month as just going from low ABV to high.
~LIGHT
Nomad Brewing/ Freshie Salt and Pepper Gose 4.50% ABV
“This beer is the brain child of Leonardo and Brooks, after a few…. staring at the beautiful Ocean in Freshwater, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the ocean mist and its fantastic smell had to be somehow put into a beer…. Why not add sea water directly to the beer and hey isn’t salt what they add to traditional Gose in Germany??!! A few months later here we are at Nomad adding two buckets of salt water straight from Freshie to a Gose with a Nomad twist and adding our new favorite pepper variety from Tasmania.

Beer and ballet – an unusual Pas de Deux. Brewed by Garage Project for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, Hops on Pointe teases the boundaries between high and low culture.Brewed with premium German malts, Nelson Sauvin hops and finished with a champagne yeast, the result is a pale gold lager with a crisp, clean palate, rich tropical fruit aromas and tight champagne bubbles

Brouwerij Alvinne/ Phi 10.00% ABV
