Though out the festival, tasting paddles will be available, allowing you to taste each of the brews or settle on a favourite and join us for a pint.

GREEN BEACON BREWING CO - WINDJAMMER IPA 6% Aromas of fresh lychee, candied orange, resinous pine needles and dried mango lead into subtle sweet malt flavours that are punctuated by a firm lingering bitterness. Bold and beautifully balanced. This beer reached #56 in the 2017 GABS Hottest 100

NEWSTEAD BREWING CO - OUT & A BOUT PALE ALE 5.1% Out and a Bout is a modern style pale ale with depth of flavour and solid hop character. Smooth bitterness with complex aromas ranging from fruit salad to spicy timber coupled with just enough richness in the grain build makes Out and a Bout an ale that can be enjoyed anytime with or without food while still standing on its own merits.

BALTER BREWERY - XPA 5% It might be pale but there’s nothing weak about this bad boy. Tropical and floral aromatics set off a fruity palate that will punch your taste buds in the pleasure zone. Tailored for those who enjoy a fully-hopped beer that’s still easy to drink. This beer reached #4 in the 2017 GABS Hottest 100

BLACK HOPS BREWING - BEACH HOUSE AUSTRALIAN SAISON 4.8% A Gold Coast take on the traditional French Farmhouse ale. Light bodied, low bitterness and dry, makes this an easy drinking. Delicately hopped, giving tropical aromas whilst letting the yeast shine through with zesty fruit & spice. Black Hops is the first brewery in Australia to be launched through crowd funding

BLACK HOPS BREWING - PINK MIST RASPBERRY SAISON 4.7% A modern take on the traditional Saison, brewed with New Zealand and Australian hops and a generous dose of local fresh raspberries. This results in a beautiful pink colour with a tart berry flavour and the dry crisp finish of the French farmhouse style.

GREEN BEACON BREWING CO - CROSS KNOT KOLSCH 4.6% Cross Knot Kolsch is a German style golden ale with clean, crisp flavours, restrained bitterness and a dry finish. An extended conditioning period and cool ferment yields a beer of refreshing subtlety.

GOOD BEER CO - GREAT BARRIER BEER SESSION IPA 3.5% Great Barrier Beer session IPA is a crisp and refreshing session IPA brewed with Galaxy hops to give it a fruity flavour of passionfruit. It's an easy drinking mid strength perfect for enjoying in the sunshine. Australia's first social enterprise beer. Grosvenor Hotel was the first Bottle Shop in Melbourne to support the cause

NEWSTEAD BREWING CO - 3 QUARTER TIME SESSION ALE 3.4% Pale malt may be the backbone, but it is the Carapils and Carahell that give toasty flavour, malty sweetness, mouth feel and body to diminish any lightweight preconceptions. Amarillo and Mosaic hops during the whirlpool, as well as dry hopping, give this beer just enough bitterness balanced with, abundant but not overpowering, flavours of citrus, berry, pine and herbs. A beer you can keep coming back to. Session Ale is what it says, something to drink a few of whenever you see fit.
