For our first release, we had Phil Sexton and his son Harry join as in Byron to brew a beer that he loves.
As an Entrepreneur, brewer and co-founder of keystone breweries Matilda Bay and Little Creatures, Phil Sexton is a trail blazer. Influenced by his time spent in the UK and US, Phil Sexton was instrumental in leading Australia into a beer revolution.
From years spent brewing abroad, Phil loves his dry English brown ales. Combining the finest Maris Otter Pale English malt with select crystal and caramel varieties for a rich and dry nutty backbone, and backed up by a generous but refined bitterness and hop character that hints of cinnamon, spice and blackcurrant, the Forefathers English Brown Ale is a testament to the style and the man who inspired it.

On tap at The Local Taphouse, Sydney on 10th September 2015. Clear reddish copper with diminishing off-white foam and full lacing. Sweet toffee malt aroma. Fruity in-mouth with berries and a tart citrus tang on the sides of the tongue. Sweet fruity finish. Light-bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Amber with an off white head. Aroma of nuts, dried fruits, spices, light bread. Light bodied, clean. Taste - bread and some nuts, but not very sweet at all. Some berries, gentle spicy bitterness. I like the way it’s nutty without either biscuit or much caramel. Staid but good.
