VILLAGER'S PALE ALE
5.1% ABV
From Byron, to Bangalow and beyond, the lush hinterland is made up of a series of small villages, each with their own unique offerings. Our Villager’s Pale is made by the locals, for the locals and visitors alike.
An approachable session beer, our Pale is the perfect balance of new world hops, supported by a pleasing maltiness with a presence of citrus, resinous pine notes and just a slight hint of aniseed. This is a beer that you’ll always return to for its perfect combination of aromatics, smooth bitterness and satisfying malts.

PROTESTERS IPA
6.2% ABV
Located an hour’s drive from the brewery, the stunning Protesters Falls are so named as a group of locals lobbied in 1979 against a large area of state forest being logged. The protest is regarded as a watershed moment in Australia's environmental movement and cited as the first time people physically defended a natural resource. The area is now part of the World Heritage listed Nightcap National Park and will be preserved for future generations to appreciate.
Our IPA pays homage to this landmark movement by packing its own punch, with an intense hop profile of zesty fruits and tropical notes. This aromatically driven beer is balanced out by a strong bitterness and a subtle malty finish that allows the combination of the new world hops to display their full character.

HELLES HOLE LAGER
4.5% ABV
This is our take on the traditional German Helles lager, with “Helles” meaning bright or light in colour. The play on words pays a cheeky nod to a hidden and treacherous local swimming spot in the nearby hills, yet another natural wonder in their neck of the woods. The use of light pilsner malts fermented for an extended time produces a clean lager with a soft finish which is carried through by a robust bitterness.
Traditional German hops provide subtle notes of spice, and finishing at 4.5% in alcohol, the well-balanced Helles Hole has pleased all the lager enthusiasts out there.

EL SABRO HAZY IPA
6.0% ABV
Our Australian International Beer Awards GOLD MEDAL WINNING mouth-watering El Sabro Hazy IPA is back, and now it's part of our core range, so you can enjoy the taste of Summer all year round!
Taking over tastebuds once again, El Sabro has a decidedly intense aroma of coconut and fresh pineapple, with a burst of tropical flavours.
Its vibrant colour and shiny opaque appearance makes it look as juicy as it tastes with a super smooth finish derived from the protein haze. El Sabro has a gentle bitterness but packs a huge fruit punch.

MOONLESS MIDNIGHT STOUT
5.9% ABV
“Dark as a Moonless Midnight”, this sweet stout exhibits notes of coffee, cacao and hints of tobacco. A full bodied sweetness to finish is balanced with roasted malts and smooth bitterness. It’s like a nice hug in a glass.
This delicious winter warmer is part of our core range, available for your tastebuds every day!
Contains lactose (and hugs).

RAIL TRAIL HAZY PALE
4.3% ABV
This latest creation is an approachable session hazy. Light on the alc so that you can jump back on the bike and hit the trail... when the rail trail comes to fruition, that is!
Hop varieties of Azzacca and Galaxy give a pleasant mix of tropical fruits mixed with citrus. On the palate, it’s particularly spicy with mango, passionfruit, pineapple and some pine, with tangerine-esque qualities evident.
Finished with a dose of lactose to give a silky smooth balance between sweetness, fruit and bitterness.
ANKLE BITER MID
3.5% ABV
Paying homage to founders’ eight kids who have clocked some serious hours at the brewery while their parents worked furiously to open the doors, the Ankle Biter is also a tribute to our fearless GM who suffered a nasty burn on his leg when brewing this beer. This full body California Common (Steam Ale) is brewed with lager yeast and fermented at ale temperatures.
The result offers the formation of a big ester profile. Late hopping of Amarillo produces citrusy orange and grapefruit notes on the nose and palate. Big on the residual malt and bitterness you would be forgiven for thinking this is a full strength beer but at an ABV of 3.5%, you can head back to the bar for another.

NOCTURNAL BLACK IPA
7.0% ABV
We have 'gone dark' on this Black IPA.
An intensely rich cacophony of nine different malts imparts caramels, cocoa nibs and a hint of roasted notes, balanced with an equally intense dank and resinous hop forward profile.
There’s so much body in this beer, you could cut it with a knife.
MALT'N LAVA RED IPA
7.0% ABV
The deep red copper indicates a big malty backbone showcasing eight (yes eight!) different malts.
Flavours of dark caramel, toffee and raisin are evident, combined with a big hop profile, notes of grapefruit and dare we say it... cannabis!
This beer finishes with a robust bitterness, is well balanced and full of flavour. Hold this one up to the light of the fire and drink it in.

STRADDLE IT TASMAN PILSNER
4.8% ABV
Based on a traditional Czech pilsner with not so traditional additions of new world hops from both sides of the Tasman.
In the Aussie corner it's Australia's greatest contribution to beer... Galaxy hops, showcasing citrus, peach and passionfruit. In the New Zealand corner it's Nelson Sauvin hops with its distinctive white wine and black current notes.
This fruity pilsner is decidedly smashable!

WRECK OF THE BAY DIPA
7.6% ABV
For over 100 years it has been sitting behind the breakers, just north of Byron Bay's Main Beach. Mostly submerged, with some parts rising above the surface, The Wreck is an unmistakable icon, sculpting the coastal landscape. To some it's a surf break, to others a snorkelling site, a place to hone your diving skills, or a swimming adventure. The Wreck is a BIG part of Byron Bay and we've created a BIG beer in its honour. This style originated on the West Coast of the USA and is a favourite of the craft beer industry. Made with a mixture of grains, including seldom seen quinoa, Wreck of The Bay has been infused with African pepper “Grains of Paradise”, giving a floral and spicy finish to this beer. Triple dry-hopped offering a huge nose and pallet of citrus and ripened tropical fruits. A complex creation balanced to perfection.

SIMON SAYS TANGELO SOUR
6.2% ABV
This is our most lip-puckering of creations yet! Using a magical strain of lactobacillus 'Helveticus’, we have dialled up the flavour intensity. A tip of the hat to our local legend Simon who supplied masses of delicious tangelos from his trees around the corner.
What even is a tangelo, you ask? Think a cross between a naval orange and a grapefruit, giving a unique sweet and tart flavour perfectly complementing the style. A perfect palate cleanser with any meal, with enough heat to warm those winter bones!

Over the past 10 months our Belgian Billycart Blonde has been residing in ex-rum barrels from our friends at the Lord Byron Distillery, creating an otherworldly beer for all of the senses.
The silky smooth vanilla and oak notes imparted by the barrels. The characteristic rum flavour. The phenolic and spice from the Belgian Blonde beer. And the warming heat from the higher alcohols. All working in perfect balance.
Get your tastebuds around this delicious creation while you can!
