A short little vid of our malting and brewing process for our smoked porter 🍻

A quick vid on our malting and brewing process. Obviously a lot more work goes into it behind the scenes.

Malting a batch takes roughly 10 days from steeping to finished/kilned malt.

Then brewing this beer takes 12 days from brewing until kegging and an extra day for bottling (coming soon😉)

Saturday June 20! We're very keen to be a part of this year's Obsidian Dark Beer Festival at the Mining Exchange in Ballarat!

There's an awesome lineup of Victorian breweries showcasing two dark beers each, with so much variety across the dark beer category. We'll be serving our:

Plum Porter 5.4%

A smooth malt-forward porter with ripe plum, caramel depth and a gentle blackcurrant lift from Bramling Cross hops.

Smoked Porter 4.7%

Red gum smoked malt gives this English-style porter a robust BBQ smoke character, backed by rich malt, biscuit, caramel and dark roasted depth.

Both beers are showcasing barley grown on the farm and malted ourselves in the traditional style. We're really looking forward to sharing these beers with everyone and trying all the other beers as well🍻

As the cooler weather creeps in, dark beer is on our mind! We've got our Dark Ale pouring on tap as a trial at the Beverford Tavern, so for all those that have tried this one and enjoyed or keep asking about our dark beers, head into the Tav this week to show the love!

A malt-forward dark ale with classic toasted malt and caramel character. Smooth and biscuity, with restrained bitterness, subtle earthy hops and a soft, rounded finish.

Perfect with a winter meal or to enjoy on its own.
Dark beer season has begun🍻🍻
