Established in 2008
Our farm is integral to our business. The ales and cider we brew and ferment in the converted shearing shed would be a different beast should we have chosen instead an inner city warehouse. The farm gives us a sense of place, connected to land and to ingredients we grow ourselves and source from other Tasmanian farmers too.
The old shearing shed was converted to house our brewery in 2008. The brewhouse itself was originally the St. Ives brewery in Battery Point, Hobart, installed back in the late 1980s. Rehoused on our farm, the old kettle & tanks are lovingly nurtured to life to help us on our journey to find a unique estate brewed beer.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is pretty buggy, with lots of wild yeast, a bunch of oak, and low-level acidity. Flavour is full of oak, lots of wild yeast, light funk, and low-level acidity. Nice barrel character and oakiness on the finish. Very good.

Tap at ASF 2022, Reggio Emilia, Italy. Pours hazy golden, with very fine white foam. Aroma is a weird floral sweetish feeling, even a little funky. Body and carbonation are average. Medium astringency. Taste is a little sweet at first, with nice delicate acidity. Final is fairly long and still astringent.

(Bottle) Pours slightly hazy golden with small white head. Pleasant subtle aroma with notes of aromatic fruitiness, maybe ripe grapes, and hints of yogurt and funk. Lovely mouthfeel - medium body with bright carbonation. Great taste - unusual and complex. It’s tart but not overly so. The tartness is citrus / lemon with notes of not quite ripe pineapple. There’s some peppery spice. There’s a pleasant but subtle graininess which has no obvious malt sweetness but adds balance to the tartness. There’s a litre pleasant bitter note in the finish. Very enjoyable and interesting - kept sipping and tasting it.

Bottle. Small gusher. Hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is funky & lemony w wildflowers & spicy grasses. Surprising creamy texture is so alive. Dryish w lemon, blossoms, stone fruit, spices. Softly sour. Neat bitterness that you wouldn't guess wasn't hops. Refreshing and involving for any ABV let alone just 3.5%. Original, really good.
