What's on tap

  Region Alc % $Pot Pint Jug
Hargreaves Hill ‘Poseidon’ Double Dry Hopped Gose Yarra Valley, VIC 4.5% $7.5 $15 $27
From the brewer – “Embark on a voyage across the salty seas with our Double Dry Hopped Gose, a sour ale that pays homage to Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea. With a double dose of Cryo Citra, Cryo Amarillo and Eclipse hops, each sip unveils a symphony of tropical and citrus fruit flavours, reminiscent of sun-drenched shores and ocean spray. But it's the whisper of sea salt, added in the whirlpool, that truly transports you to the briny depths.”
3 Ravens ‘Black’ Oatmeal Stout Thornbury, VIC 4.5% $7 $14 $26
A staple of 3 Ravens range since 2003, ‘Black’ is a smooth and silky stout with mild roast character & a creamy texture derived from oats. Now seasonally brewed to coincide with early winter, ‘Black’ was given a facelift in line with the breweries focus on fresh local malt and hops to enhance drinkability. Black, back in 2021.
Carlton Draught Abbotsford, VIC 4.6% $7 $14 $26
The Aussie classic. Carlton Draught is a traditional, full-strength lager that is crisp on the mid-palate with a good malt character and smooth full-bodied flavour. Clean hop bitterness gives the brew a slightly dry finish.
BentSpoke Brewing Co ‘Bract To The Ditch’ – New Zealand IPA Braddon, A.C.T. 6% $8 $16 $29
From the brewer – “Bract To the Ditch is our NZ IPA brewed with the exclusive NZH-106 & NZH-109 hops that feature as part of the Bract Program. We hopped on our bikes and pedalled into the brewery to do what we do best—craft a big, bold, and hoppy NZ IPA. Bursting with juicy tropical fruit aromas and flavours, this IPA is the perfect pintable for those laid-back afternoons when you're off the saddle.”
Napoleone Yarra Valley Apple Cider Coldstream, VIC 4.7% $7 $14 $26
MULTI AWARD WINNING! This combination of apple varieties delivers a unique flavour and the ideal balance of acidity, sweetness and tannins. Displaying bright aromas of crisp apple with subtle vanilla and cinnamon character from some minimal oak contact, this cider is still wonderfully refreshing with a clean, dry finish.
Wolf of the Willows Crisp Lager Mordialloc, VIC 4.2% $7 $14 $26
From the brewer - “Like the batter on your Fish & Chips or the crumb on your Parma, a good Lager should be satisfyingly CRISP. Styled on an American Light Lager, it's pale straw in colour with a crystal clear appearance. Subtle citrus hop notes and a light, dry profile, this Lager keeps you coming back for more. Low Calorie, high enjoyment.”
Stone & Wood ‘Pacific Ale’ Byron Bay, N.S.W. 4.4% $7 $14 $26
Brewed using all Australian barley, wheat and Galaxy hops, Pacific Ale is cloudy and golden with a big fruity aroma and a refreshing finish. After being dry hopped at the end of fermentation, Pacific Ale is then drawn straight from the storage tank at the brewery into kegs for your pleasure.
Brookvale Union Alcoholic Ginger Beer Brookvale, N.S.W. 4% $8 $16 $29
From the brewer – “Spicy yet mild, dry but wet, smooth but sharp, tight but loose – JUST GREAT TASTING GINGER BEER!”
Moo Brew Dark Ale Bridgewater, TAS 5% $7 $14 $26
Dark Ale, is lightly hopped with American Simcoe, Centennial & Cascade hops and uses the darker end of the spectrum of crystal malts, making for a nicely roasted dark beer that’s surprisingly good for a session.
Wayward Brewing Co. ‘Hazy Mid’ Juicy Mid-Strength Hazy Pale Ale Camperdown, N.S.W. 3.5% $6.5 $13 $24
From the brewer – “We brewed this easy drinking hazy pale ale for those looking for a sessionable mid-strength ABV beer with a seriously juicy hop punch. The perfect balance of a light malt backbone with just a hint of oats backed by the tropical hop flavours and aromas of Citra, Simcoe and Chinook hops. The perfect backyard beer? Just maybe!”
Holgate Brewhouse ‘Road Trip’ American IPA Woodend, VIC 6% $8 $16 $29
From the brewer - "Our Road Trip American IPA is our take on a classic Pacific North-West American IPA. Presenting a burnished copper, Road Trip is loaded with multiple additions of Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo and Mosaic hops resulting in an explosion of piney, citrus and grapefruit flavour and aroma. The palate is rich and full, with the same archetypal American hop flavours dancing over a foundation of rich malt and a firm hop bitterness. The dry finish makes this a dangerously drinkable drop."
Bridge Road Brewers ‘Beechworth Pale Ale' Beechworth, VIC 4.8% $7 $14 $26
First brewed in 2005, Beechworth Pale Ale has earned its reputation as an ‘Aussie Craft Classic’. A new world pale ale brimming with hop aroma and flavour, it strikes a perfect balance between hops and malt. Lower bitterness and a clean finish make this a sessionable yet full flavoured pale ale that continues to stand the test of time.
