I'm not bitter, I'm better

I don't want to change the world

I'm not looking for a new England

I'm just looking for another girl

Billy Bragg, A New England, 1983

Trust this finds you well and enjoying the warmer winter sunshine as we eagerly look forward to Spring and the inevitable bud burst!  It appears the wheels have gone full circle as Boris now gives it a crack for a hard Brexit from Europe for little ole' England.  Not saying, we called it early but there is a recipe titled Brexit | English Bitter Ale up on BeerCo.com.au since May 2016 and this month we look forward to its NEW! release as Brexit | XX Bitter Ale | BeerCo All Grain Recipe Kit enhanced by Crisp finest Malt and Challenger UK Hops.

Tanks to all of you wonderful folk who put your hand up week in and week out to join us on our mission of ridding the world of beer poverty here at BeerCo.com.au.  We are beery pleased to announce and welcome our newest co-worker Valentina Garcia to the fold.  Valentina has a great passion for home and craft brewing and distilling industries and has already hit the warehouse floor running.

NEW! Fresh Wort Kits are here! Viper | XPA | BeerCo Fresh Wort Kit is the latest in our range of easy to pour, ferment and keg or bottle happy Fresh Wort Kits.  We like to make brewing easy with fresh local independent craft brewery quality wort that all you have to do is clean - rinse - sanitise - pitch - ferment and brew happy!

Malt of the Month - Crisp Amber Malt - Hop of the Month - Challenger UK Hops - Yeast of the Month - NEW! GY094 German Ale GigaYeast - Adjunct of the Month - Candi Syrup - BeerCo All Grain Recipe of the Month - Brexit | XX Bitter Ale and another great video from Andrew at Stass Brewing on How to Brew like a Pro: Forced Ferment and of what's coming up on the Busy Brewers and Distillers BeerCo.com.au Events calendar?

We are also beery pleased to again be supporting our good friends up the road at Fury & Son Brewing Co  for the second year running for their annual Fathers Day Beer Brunch on Sunday 1st of September with all proceeds going to support the good work of Men's Shed.  Fury and Son have used the finest Crisp Heritage Chevallier Ale and Specialty Malt provided by BeerCo.com.auand taken inspiration from last century’s traditional London Porter style. Blending freshly brewed (new) and Brettanomyces Barrel Aged (old) beer, the brewers have created their own modern version of the Original Melbourne Porters enjoyed in the late 1800s during Gold Rush times.

Accompanying their reimagined Old Melbourne Porter of yesteryear are a couple of very recent additions to the modern craft brewing. Firstly, a Bergamot infused XPA, hop forward with a light body and a delicious citrus twist, and secondly, a Catharina Sour (a Brazilian kettle-soured fruit beer) that is chock a block full of passionfruit and guava.

The D’s who have been pumping out delicious souvlakis at the brewery for the last 3 months and are going to step up their offering for the day into a 3-course, Italian inspired feast. Kids, vegetarian and non-drinking options will all be available. Tickets are now available for purchase online: www.trybooking.com/BEOFR

Viper XPA BeerCo All Grain Recipe Kit is a super light malt body eXtra Pale Ale that is fully hopped with fruit forward tropical hops and fermented out nice and bone dry.

Two Malts - Crisp Europils and Dextrin Malt and Two Hops - El Dorado® and Equanot™ who will dance off to the tune of GY001 Nor Cal Ale #1 GigaYeast. The simplicity of this beer is its natural brilliance. 

Brewed at an Independent Local Fresh Craft Brewery this is seriously good Craft Quality Wort ready to ferment! We recommend you ferment this one nice and dry with your choice of Yeast.
