Red Duck Brewery

Red Duck Brewery "This year marks 20 years of Red Duck Brewery. Red Duck started on the shores of Lake Purrumbete in 2005. So we named our beer after them.

From our early days as craft beer pioneers to the beers we brew today, it’s been and continues to be an incredible journey.
🦆🔴" Our first brewery was in the old dairy at Purrumbete Homestead, and when we were building the brewery, there was a breeding pair of Shelducks, with 7 ducklings, that were living nearby. We engineered and built our own brewhouse specifically

to make world class ales. We brew using all natural ingredients. It’s a very hands on brewhouse, that makes hand crafted, real ales. In the winter of 2011 we moved the brewery to Ballarat, with a view to increasing production and the range of our ales. We are still one of the smallest Micro-breweries in Australia, making on average 500 litres per brew. Our aim is to grow slowly, so we can focus on quality, not quantity.

Loch Ness

The third release in our 20th birthday celebration series.

Not as fierce in the ABV stakes as its predecessors, this Nessy clocks in at a modest 7.2% ABV — but don’t let that fool you. It’s still brimming with character.

First brewed back in 2013, this malt-driven Scotch ale is rich with notes of caramel and toffee. While this batch wasn’t finished in oak barrels like its predecessor, we’ve added a touch of our very own Red Duck whisky to bring depth and complexity.

Smooth, layered, and quietly powerful — a beer worthy of legend.

IGOR
The second release in our 20th birthday celebration series.
First brewed in 2014, IGOR is a big, bold porter that lives up to its name. Deeply roasted malts deliver layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and a hint of caramel sweetness, all balanced by a smooth, warming finish. Rich, complex, and full-bodied — a true showcase of our love for dark, flavour-driven beers.

Great White

First brewed in 2017, Great White was created to mark the first of our 20th anniversary birthday brews — and it’s not for the faint of heart. This beast is seriously hoppy. Lager drinkers? You’ve been warned.

Like its namesake, Great White has a powerful bite. At 10.3% ABV, it demands your respect. This is a beer that doesn’t pull punches — bold, intense, and built for those who know their hops.

Approach with caution… and enjoy the ride.
