Violent Crumble

Honeycomb & Toffee Stout

Dwayne Johnson is on top of the Empire State Building fighting a giant gorilla whilst eating a chocolate bar. A swarm of bees come flying out of the gorilla’s mouth and bite his tongue, so he needs a beer to soothe the swelling. This is that beer.

7.5%ABV / 33IBU

Black Magic

Salt & Pepper Squid Ink Gose

This dark and mysterious beast uses Mornington Peninsula botanicals such as samphire, kelp and saltbush with a splash of Javan pepper and squid ink. Brewed in collaboration with Balcombe Gin (and with some of the actual gin thrown in – hey, that rhymes!) this is an ode to the Peninsula and a nice way for two whacky dudes to get their noggins together!

5%ABV / 8IBU

Sav Brute

Sparkling IPA

Famous brutes of eons been who belched and bludgeoned over bubbly brews – we salute you in your beguiled ways of days and dawns that bestowed our ways. And yay, oh yay, no nay to say we must never choose over grapes or grain!

Last Chance!

Sir Spritzalot

Snaperol Sour

Every now and then you come across a man who is just too classy for all the rest, just a cut above the best … Shaz, the Cult Hero of Casa, the Pedigree of Il Picillo and, of course, Sir Spritzalot himself.

5.6%ABV / 27IBU

Bayside Pale

Australian Pale Ale

With fresh citrus hop aromas, a clean malt bill and a refreshing pallette, this beer is brewed for those hot summer days – or nights. Brewed by the Bay.

Watermelon

Melon, Mint & Cucumber Sour

4.5%ABV / 15IBU

Fudge Dredd

Double Choc Fudge Porter

Fudgement Day has arrived! Dainton Brewery: you are hereby charged with Crimes Against Brewmanity. How do you plead?

8%ABV / 35IBU

Mimosa

Sparkling Orange Brut IPA

Remember those spoon-banging college dinners? No? Well, pretty sure this is where this drink originated from. I did ask Jess, though she told me to Google it. Thanks bub. Anyway, OJ and champagne. Salute!

5.5%ABV / 10IBU

Hoppy Stout

Being a hop forward stout, you won’t feel like you’ve just eaten a big desert. This beer has a solid carbonation and a generous dose of hops to lift it up.

5.5%ABV / 50IBU

Easy Peasy

Lemonade Sour

When life gives you lemons, make a beer. Or just be grateful that you have free lemons! Then put them into a beer. No, not that watery Mexican one … A sour one, like this! Yum!

5%ABV / 5.5IBU

Rye-Solation

Dark Rye Blend

When we had our curve flattened in March, it didn’t ‘curb’ our creativity. The result? Rye-Solation? Or should that be Rye-Solution? Both are awesome puns. A craftily blended brew made 100% from orphaned kegs that spits in the eye of the ‘Rona!

5.8%ABV / 40IBU

Pandemic Punch

Fruity NEIPA Blend

When life gives you pandemics you make punch! Pandemic Punch! A craftily blended brew made 100% from orphaned kegs that spits in the eye of the ‘Rona!

6.6%ABV / 30IBU

Black Forest

Russian Imperial Stout

In the darkness of your mind, you find not time or light. Yet despite the fright of finding you, your knowing of yourself is not true. Drink and dance, the abyss beckons, the sweet romance of the elusive weapon. Your mind, your mind, you find there is no time, in the black forest you must reside.

10%ABV / 65IBU

Apocalypso

Zombie Tiki Imperial NEIPA

My watch has stopped at 1:17pm. I don’t even know what day it is. Where am I? Who am I? All I know is I need to have a cocktail and they’ve run out of bar napkins. Stupd apocalypse.
Anyway, “One Zombie Tiki Cocktail, please … Oh wait, you’re a mannequin.”

8.2%ABV / 46IBU

Choctail Espresso

Moccha Stout

Choctail reminds us of “DuckTales”, although the characters are “Danny, Cammy and Tayley”, with “Kev” being Uncle Scrooge. Also, we wear pants, sometimes. And Kev has silver coins, not gold ones. Segway – this beer has cold brewed coffee from Commonfolk Coffee Roasters in Mornington and organic cacao nibs. Delish.

Lupalin Daze

Double Hazy IPA

Sometimes simplicity is key. A few years back that was having one or two choices of local beers. You know, the green, the red or the yellow … Now there is so much to choose from! We love it. We also love a plain ol’ hoppy and unfiltered Double IPA. Simple.

7.5%ABV / 60IBU

We love animals, be they sharks or surfers. But honestly, why are they always punching on? Can’t we all just be FRIENDS!? Share the love, and this classic Aussie IPA.

6.1%ABV / 55IBU

Sangria Sour

Fruit Punch Kettle Sour

Sangria is apparently Spanish, though nobody is quite sold as to where and why it was created. Just like Penelope Cruz … Though nobody’s complaining on either count. This version is better than the Spanish one too and no Tom Cruises were harmed making it – even if we wanted to.

5.5%ABV / 15IBU

Stratasphere

Single Hop Hazy IPA

There you go, Strata Boy, on your flight into space. Hoppy high, through the sky, for adventures soon you will face! Strata Boy hop-bombs away, on your mission today. Here’s the countdown, and the blastoff, everything is hops, Strata Boy!

Inspired by drinking FAF Strata Hopped IPA’s in the USA! Think passionfruit, citrus and DANK!

6%ABV / 58IBU

Maple Bacon

Ice Cream Pancake Ale

On our planet, we have a legend about people who like pancakes … It’s called Footloose. And in it, a great hero, named Kevin Bacon, teaches an entire city full of people with sticks up their butts that dancing, well, is the greatest thing there is. The beer is pretty ace too.

6%ABV / 35IBU

Mocha Chocca

New England Black Rye IPA

Normally I hate “A’s” on the end of words. I prefer them at the start. Also, I like chocolate at the start of a meal, not the end. This beer is going to confuse you. Yes, I might have Thursday before which same. I mean witch.

6%ABV / 29IBU

Mellon Collie

Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Inspired by traditionally mad American brewers, this is a real pumpkin ale. We’ve added spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and Billy Corgan’s big old noggin … Enjoy.

8%ABV / 20IBU

The Raider

Single Hop NEIPA

Professor of beerology, expert on the occult, and how does one say it … obtainer of rare beers … Yep, this guy does it all for fortune and beer. Using experimental Hort 4334 hops you’ll get tropical, stonefruit and citrus notes. Just don’t look at the can when you open it. Don’t look!

6%ABV / 45IBU

Stonefruit

Apricot & Peach Kettle Sour

When you’ve run out of ideas and coffee, bad things can occur. Let’s be honest, no coffee is worse than no beer … Anyway, kettle-soured with peach and apricot. Yum. Not as yum as a McCoffee though.

4.7%ABV / 5IBU

Nutters

Choc Peanut Butter Stout

Peanuts are rad, aliens told us so. Better than that, we’re going to show you so. Just watch your allergies, because we aim to please. This beer ain’t crap!

6%ABV / 30IBU

Kinky Cola

Black Cherry Cola Sour

Well Cam’s not the world’s most mystical guy, but when he made this beer we nearly lost our minds – C-O-L-A COLA, CH-CH-CHERRY COLA! So we we’re all pretty cluey blokes, though this beer flips our wigs as it tastes like a Coke – C-O-L-A COLA, CH-CH-CHERRY COLA!

5.2%ABV / 15IBU

Cookies & Cream

Milkshake IPA

How unhealthy was the cookie monster? Seriously … I eat one cookie and I’m feeling like I need a refreshing ale to cleanse myself. Maybe CM needed a wheatgrass shot or something? I do. And a cookie. Mmmmm cookies.

6%ABV / 4.8IBU

The Hybrid

Single Hop NEIPA

This beer is a mega juicy, fruity member using new German-grown Amarillo hops to impart delish citrus and stonefruit flavours. Hail Hybrid!

6.4%ABV / 33IBU

Shellraiser

Oyster Kilpatrick Stout

Another year and another ‘collab’ with these crazy folks. Also some NSW farmer helped source the actual 110 dozen oysters in this brew. Note – there is no bacon, though it does taste a bit like bacon … ‘Facon’ I call it. I don’t. You do.

Brewed in collaboration with Bright Tank Brewing, Van Diemen Brewing and Rocky Ridge Brewing Co.

9.5%ABV / 35IBU

Margarita

Tequila Gose with Lime

Give happiness to this beer, Margarita! ‘Cause this beer is for giving happiness and nice things to! Give happiness to your beer, Margarita! Heyyyy… Margarita! Aaay!

4.6%ABV / 12IBU

Zone 3

Triple dry hopped triple rye ipa

Sometimes not even we know the relevance of the label to our beers. Just like we’re unsure of what lies beyond the event horizon. Drink this and you may find out.

9.7%ABV / 81IBU

Pickle Dan

Reuben Rye Ale

There are really real, surreal and unreal similarities between Rick and Dan. Perhaps if they collabed on a science project they’d make this beer … Or start an inter-dimensional war? Maybe both. Brewed with real pickles from Dillicious.

5.5%ABV / 15IBU

The Professional

sauv blanc & kiwi bright neipa

Whether taking out hordes of bad dudes (and yeast) to protect a young Natalie Portman, or slinging his guns on BEER Thread, Leon is a true professional. This beer goes out to the 4,000+ members who make the community so exciting. No discussion.

5.8%ABV / 27IBU

Half-Blood

Blood Orange Session NERIPA

‘Half-blood’ conjures images of Werewolves or Vampires or Wolfpires … Maybe they drink this beer instead of human blood? Maybe this juicy brew will grant magical powers. Maybe Robert Patterson will jump from a Jeep Wrangler and stare at you weirdly? I hope not. Drink the beer.

4.3%ABV / 30IBU

Russ Le Hop

New Zealand IPA

“We don’t have a million hops in this beer / it’s more like a zillion IBUS so please don’t fear / and though it may not be a GABS Hottest 100 can / at least we know that Russell Crowe doesn’t endorse our brand!”

6.1%ABV / 43IBU

Idaho 7

Single Hop Hazy IPA

What was that movie with Keanu and River in it? Bambi? Wait, that’s what I’m watching right now … Oh the humanity! Big zesty orange and tangerine in this bad boy with hints or marmalade. You won’t be the ‘lonely guy’ drinking this beast.

6%ABV / 55IBU

Flat White

Iced Coffee NEIPA

What the f#$k is an almond magic? What has this world come to? Give me an old fashioned (circa 1998) flat white and I’m good. And why coffee in beer? Well, it’s all about the things you love. Oh yeah, it’s a white stout. Go figure.

5.7%ABV / 20IBU

Red Velvet

Choc Cherry NEIPA

This beer is smooth, sexy and delicious, much like Kyle MacLachlan in that semi-normalDavid Lynch film … Pretty sure you won’tfind a missing ear in here though.

6.6%ABV / 14IBU

Raspberry

Rye Milk Porter

I used to live with my dad as a young chap. He used to eat chocolate ice cream with raspberry topping in the bath which I had to hand deliver. This beer is for all the nutters out there.

6%ABV / 23IBU

Feelin’ Peachy

Peach Milkshake NEIPA

Millions of peaches, peaches for you; Millions of peaches, that’s more than two; Millions of peaches, peaches ain’t free; Millions of peaches, this beer is tasty!

Purple Sour

Beet & Berry Kettle Sour

Don’t turn away, don’t stop looking at me, I am a sour beer, I hope that you get me. Hey, what are you looking at? I’m purple and you better drink me. What would you see? What would you see if you swallowed me? Maybe a Japanese lady?

WTF

West Coast IPA

There could be a totally hip rap poem though it’d probably sound cooler and not use the words “hip” or “poem”. And this beer ain’t cool. It’s just a real fucking good example of a West Coast IPA. Enjoy.

Dmango Unchained

session ipa

Mangoes come in a can, they were put there by a Dan, in a factory in Carrum Downs. If we had our own little way, we’d drink mango beer all day!

4.7%ABV / 35IBU

Rock Toffee

Belgian Dubbel

Get hard rock Belgian Candi into ya! Using a 400 year old secret blend of water and sugar and a specialized cylindrical bowl-like-thing (a pot?) to boil up sweet toffee rocks, this bad-ass brew was brewed by no other than the most famous Belgian of all! Yep – who cares.

6.3%ABV / 26IBU

Caramel Creme

White Chocolate NEIPA

Remember that giant easter egg you got as a kid? It was so big that you could roll on it. Which you did. Then it broke and you cried. But not as much as when a giant spider came out of the egg and ate your pet echidna. Ah, childhood.

6.5%ABV / 12IBU

Forest Gruit

2018 ANHC Commemorative Beer

When we asked our head Brewer “what the f#@k is in this beer?”, all he responded with was “We are Gruit”. How dare he rope us into this crazy thing. It has raw nutmeg and mugwort and sticks, oh my!

6.7%ABV / 38IBU

Double Ton

Double India Pale Lager

Ahhh, the smell of freshly mowed grass, the blistering sting of the summer sun and the look of pure glee on your uncle’s mug as he sits in his stubby shorts and tapes up one side of a tennis ball. The days of the real epic backyard tests … Not this crazy 20/20 IPL stuff. You can barely get through two beers, then it’s over!

Smoked Sour

Apricot Lichtenhainer

This beer was originally a threat to naughty brewers, then they caught the insanity bug. Well, it’s more of a virus. Brewed in collaboration with evil agents and dudes dodging bullets.

4.5%ABV / 7IBU

Cranny Sour

Salted Cranberry Gose

This is a kettle-soured German style Gose with pink Himalayan salt and American Cranberries. It is slightly tart, sour, pinkish in hue and salty, like your Grandma.

5%ABV / 10IBU

Double Red Eye

2nd birthday celebration ale

So, we’ve survived two years of madness at the brewery with our sanity somewhat intact! This beer is brewed in celebration of this fact, and of winning Champion Australian Independent Amber/Dark Ale for our first ever commercially brewed beer!

7%ABV / 70IBU

Guava Grisette

Farmhouse Session Saison

Ain’t guava that stuff in the red lip balm tubes? Surely this beer tastes better than that? Or do you like that taste? Too bad – we think this beer is yum. Light and sprite like a woodland pixie. Contains no pixies (though 14% elf) …

4.2%ABV / 15IBU

Grapefruit

Sour New England IPA

Sour fruit power! Like that Voltron rip-off this beer looks shiny on the outside and like actual Voltron there is some substance on the inside. The princess was cute. We ain’t. Drink up.

6%ABV / 23IBU

Tropicana

Session Saison

Pineapple in beer? Why yes, Rear-Admiral. Kettle-soured, sessionable and certainly not sweet. This dry Saison should see you sipping in the sun all day long. No, we won’t scrub your decks.

Hop Harvest

Wet Hopped IPL

I smell it on my fingers, thank god its not on my toes; Hops are all around me, and so the freshness shows; They’re thrown in the kettle, and more are thrown in dry; So if you really love hops, come on give this a try!

DIPA

DOUBLE India Pale Ale

This beer was brewed for Nat Reeves, the electro-synth composing, pink tee shirt wearing, hop wizard of Cheltenham. If you don’t know who he is, then you should probably not drink this beer. Go have a pint of ambergris.

5.5%ABV / 30IBU

Pina Colada

Pineapple Coconut Punch

One of the beers that Pete brewed for the world record breaking 131 beer tap-takeover we smashed out on 8/9/18! Pete hated this beer. Too bad, it is delish up the wazoo. Yum-nuts.
