The Contenders

Which brew would you love to see make a comeback?

California Lager

Our first ever beer brewed and launched in November 2015! A modern take on the California Common: lager yeast fermented warm with classic old-school hop character and a crisp, toasty finish.

New Wold IPA

Launched in 2016, our first core IPA showcasing Aussie, US & NZ hops for bright citrus, pine and tropical notes over a lean, snappy malt backbone.

Reserve Road Draught

The first traditional lager and canned product we launched in 2017. Crisp, refreshing and clean with a gentle noble hop bitterness—our easy-drinking local hero.

American Brown IPA

Co-founder Dereck’s favourite beer style, this beer launched in 2018 using his original home brew recipe and sold out in days! Malt-meets-hop hybrid: caramel and chocolate malt flavours lifted by firm American hop bitterness and aroma.

Red IPA

One of our first collaboration brews with Hop Temple in Ballarat in 2019. Chewy toffee malt and a ruby hue, balanced with a punchy resinous hop charge for a satisfyingly bitter finish.

Sticky Date Stout

Originally a Brew Crew beer conceived by our driver Jasmin in 2020, this beer proved so popular it was re-launched several times over the coming years. Decadent dessert-inspired stout with rich butterscotch, caramel and a hint of vanilla on a creamy, full-bodied base.

Pina Colada Sour

A fan favourite, this sour ale launched in 2020 with encore releases in 2021 and 2022 to rousing successes! Sunshine in a can: juicy pineapple, coconut-leaning hops and a tangy, sessionable sour base.

Peanut Butter & Jam Porter

This limited release brew sold out in days in 2021 only to be recalled due to re-fermentation in the can - much to the frustration of many beer lovers. Our cult favourite Peanut Butter Porter loaded with raspberries, melding nutty chocolate with bright jammy tang.

Margarita Sour

Our highest ever rated sour ale launched in 2022. It sold out so rapidly we had to brew it a second time! Inspired by the classic cocktail—bright citrus, a hint of salt, and a clean, zesty finish.

Maple Red Ale

Brewed with real maple syrup in 2023 celebrating our Canadian roots: a smooth red ale with toasty malt and a touch of maple richness.
