Our first stop in Australia this month is in Braeside and specifically Macbeth Street for Boatrocker Brewers and Distillers.
Founded in 2009 by Matt & Andrea Houghton after a time where their beers were brewed elsewhere, they now have their own space and a Gin School!
Here are some beers for the taster tray…
Alpha Queen Pale Ale – “The beer that started Boatrocker… Loaded with aromatic female hop flowers, this queen is highly hopped, wonderfully bitter and undeniably delicious. Long live the queen!”
Conehead West Coast IPA – “Conehead is our latest core range IPA… Loads of hops, used in DIP hopping plus dry hopping, this is a beer that doesn’t shy away from bitterness and that lovely, dank resinous hop aroma. It’s a West Coast IPA that you can easily enjoy a few of.”
Yes Chef California Common – “A deliciously chewy bready malt base complimented by North American hops. Delicious on its own but best paired with …. some Deep End Pizza!”
Basil and Berries – “After developing complexity for 18+ months, our foeder aged wild ale has been generously blended with 250 grams per litre of fresh basil and mixed berries. The result is a distinctive fresh and fruity reinvention of the classic lambic style.”
