Hi folks,
Hope you're enjoying the weather!!
Too much new gear on the shelves to cram into this newsletter so we'll just hit the highlights. Very excited that we now have Bass Phillip in the house (been wanting to get this stuff for years) plus some very handy restocks from Blackman's (Torquay) and Rocky Ridge, the masters of sustainability!
Use discount code WELCOMEBACK25 if you'd like to get $25 off your next order ($129 minimum spend ex. freight applies - note this is a one time order per user and this includes use before the date of this newsletter).
Rocky Ridge
I put Rocky Ridge in the Mountain Culture / Range camp......they have an unrelenting ability to push premium quality IPA varients month after month without fail. This group of 6 doesn't stray from this trend.
Limited quantities available on the website and in the fridges @ The Grape & Hop Wine Bar in Montomrency.
'Clover Rays' Foreign Extra Stout $12.50 | 'Flaming Dragon' IPA $11.50
Peachocalypse Double NEIPA $14.50 | 'Resting My Eyes' Oatcream IPA $11
'Reverse Centaur' NEIPA $11.50 | 'Vibe Vortex' Sour $9.50
Blackman's
We decided to dip into the Blackmans well once again following the very strong response to the trio of BA stouts (all sold out). These 4 beers are all considered core range but interestingly Blackmans take the relatively unusual step of including a Smoked Porter and an India Pale Lager in the bracket of beers to be brewed all year round.
The Juicy Banger presents as per the moniker and packs some punch for a Lager at just under 6%. Very few examples of this souped-up style in Oz so well worth a look.
The Arthur is a solid and reliable Porter and suits the lead in to winter beautifully. Expect smokey dark malts and a uber smooth palate.
All in stock for drink-in and takeaway at the Grape & Hop in Montmorency if you are looking to buy offline.
Old & Rare Update
Some pretty handy top-ups to the Old & Rare portfolio over the past few weeks....the full range can be found here.
Bass Phillip
First time we've been able to get our hands on this house through 'official' channels. Complex cool climate fruits and mineral laced, the BP wines will live for some time.
Rockford
Additional vintages of the 'Rod & Spur' Shiraz Cabernet now on the shelf.
Vintage Ports
No better birthday present we reckon? Vintages spanning 2001 to 2021 from Stanton & Killeen, Noon and Campbells.
