Summer time

It's been a crazy summer this year and we wish a speedy recovery to all those affected by floods, fires or a cyclone.

We are brewing enthusiastically at the moment and will have a hefeweizen, brown porter and a chilli flavoured robust porter on tap by the end of the month.

The new bar is getting there and with fingers crossed it will be open by the end of the month.

Happy tasting,

Keith

Merry Christmas

It's December and that means Christmas beer.

Jess has brewed another batch of a delicious christmas pudding in a glass.

That the beer is completely unsuited to the warm weather this time of the year doesn't slow us down one bit.

In this year's brew the spices are a tiny bit more restrained which allows the malt complexity to add more depth to a quite big beer.

Merry Christmas to all,

Keith

Champion Porter

1 Gold, 5 Silvers, 1 Bronze and the Champion Porter Trophy - that's the haul from our trip to this years' Australian International Beer Awards held in Mebourne.

And let me say - wowie kazowie! The brewery team are buzzing from the results and a big hats off to Jess for her Chocolate Porter. It will be some time before you can wipe the grins off our faces.

Our regulars also did well with the Kolsch, Pale & Bock picking up Silver medals and a Bronze went to our Lager.

On a personal note from me, many thanks both to the local homebrewing fraternity for their support, inspiration and assistance as well as to my friends in the craft brewing industry who have never hesitated to offer assistance, and the chance to share a beer, whenever the need arose.

Cheers and happy tasting,

Keith

HUB Brew Day

Just has the boys from the Hunter United Brewers (HUB) up for a brew day.

Was a pretty relaxed day and the guys had some fun & ended up walking away with their cubes of AIPA (Centennial and Amarillo earlier in the piece and Citra at flame out).

We will post some pics from the day on our web site.

I am looking forward to the next one.

Cheers,

Keith
