Every winter, we honour the ancient traditions of beer by releasing our annual Stone Beer, a bold yet approachable dark porter brewed with woodfired stones in the kettle.
This year, in a nod to our roots, Stone Beer 2020 is the first brewed with all-Australian malts, including a Red Gum-smoked malt that adds a subtle smokiness to the brew’s roasted barley, coffee and dark chocolate flavours. A delicious wood fired dark porter with a firm bitter finish, Stone Beer 2020 is best paired with campfires, fresh air and cold starry nights.

Perhaps a little drier this year but again nicely integrated flavours - a little smoke, singed toffee, spiced bitterness. Shaded by last year but has become a seasonal worth getting a few of - it does seem to improve for 12-18 months.
