NEW ARRIVALS


We’ll provide some brief summaries of our new arrivals here, with much more detailed information up on our website www.internationalbeershop.com.au

Australian craft brewing has exploded over the past decade, and is only going from strength to strength. The quality and consistency of our local breweries is something to be very proud of, and very excited about! We’ve just brought a pallet of our favourite Victorian beers across the Nullarbor, the new arrivals include:

Red Hill Weizenbock

Red Hill’s latest seasonal offering is a rich and luxurious Weizenbock, which at 7.9% ABV has amazing complexity and warmth, as well as a surprisingly hoppy finish from the brewery’s home grown hops.

Red Hill Golden Ale

Pale and crisp light bodied ale, fruity with a noble hop aroma and restrained hoppy dryness created by Red Hill’s own Hallertauer & Tettnanger hop flowers.

Red Hill Scotch Ale

It took Red Hill 7 years to perfect the recipe for this burnished copper ale, and the results are stunning. A secret blend of English malts, some roasted to impart flavours of toffee, roasted nuts and caramel, creates a rich, malty, moorish ale, which is perfectly balanced by a deft touch of earthy spiciness, provided by Goldings and Willamette hops.

Jamieson Beast IPA

One of our favourite IPAs - superb balance between chewy and rich fudge-malt characteristics, mouth puckering bitterness andhuge hop aromatics.

Jamieson Raspberry Ale

Jamieson Raspberry Ale has real Raspberries added at the fermenter to give the beer a distinct Raspberry aroma and flavour. Finishes dry and refreshing.

Jamieson Mountain Ale

The Mountain Ale is a modified and improved version of Jamieson’s original Dark Wheat Beer. It has distinct chocolate malt flavour with caramel tones from a distinct grain bill which includes 70% wheat.

Bridge Roads Bling IPA

Bling is a beer with all the bells and whistles. Ruby Red with a strong malt base toped with lashings of hop aromas and bag loads of bitterness.

Bridge Roads Chestnut Pilsner


A unique Australian Pilsner, brewed in Beechworth from Chestnuts grown locally in the Beechworth and Stanley hills. The Chestnut Pilsner also uses Galaxy hops from the Rostrevor Hop Garden in the nearby Ovens Valley. As with any of the worlds best pilsner the most important ingredient is time (lagering), so its a good sign that Chestnut Pils is aged for around 3 months before release.

Bridge Roads B2 Bomber


The Bridge Road crew like to make a statement with their anniversary beers and the 2010 special is no exception. A true melding of styles, the B2 Bomber is a Black Belgian IPA, bringing together darker, roasted malt varieties, a swagful of hops and a Belgian yeast variety in an intriguing mix.

3 Ravens Dark Smoked Beer

3 Ravens Dark is a European smoked dark ale, modelled on an age old Franconian style. Traditional bottle-conditioning naturally carbonates this beer and helps add to its complexity.

3 Ravens 55 American Pale Ale

3 Ravens 55 is an American style Pale Ale, first brewed to celebrate 3 Ravens 5th birthday. Five assertive hops meet a blend of barley, corn, wheat oats and rye. Floral aromatics lead to a structured maltiness and clean finish.

3 Ravens Winter Rye Roggenbier


A one off seasonal release, Roggenbier is a classic German style. Think dunkelweizen, but with malted rye in place of malted wheat. The result is a thick, spicy and fragrant ale.

Coldstream Naked Ale


An English style pale ale, brewed with premium quality English malting barley and the two classic English hops, Fuggles and East Kent Goldings. This traditional ale exhibits a full-bodied maltiness that yields to a gentle bitter finish.

Hargreaves Hill Pale Ale


Destroyed in the Victorian bushfires, Hargreaves Hill rebuilt their brewery from the ground up. This is an English style pale ale, with a toasty biscuit malt character and earthy, spicy hop balance.

Hargreaves Hill Stout

Astout in the “Foreign Extra Stout” style. With a pronounced roast barley character, this dark ale features generous palate weight and considerable length.

Redoak Organic Pale Ale
(NSW)

Redoak’s English style Pale Ale is brewed using only certified organic ingredients. A specially chosen strain of London Ale yeast gives a distinctive fruity character with a firm hop bitterness and rich malty flavour.

Redoak Belgian Chocolate Stout (NSW)
Redoak infuse their rich oatmeal stout with Belgian dark chocolate, perfectly balancing the beers coffee and roasted malt flavours with chocolate aromas and flavours.

And from our own backyard, Gage Roads have recently rebranded and released a new and improved IPA - Sleeping Giant IPA - as well as an aromatic and refreshing Pale Ale, Atomic Pale Ale.

From Brewdog we have fresh stock of Riptide Imperial Stout, as well as three new beers – Chaos Theory IPA, Abstrakt 2:0 and a collaboration with Mikkeller - I Hardcore You. More about these next week!

Cheers
The International Beer Shop Team
