First Anniversary

Braggot is an ancient style of honey and malted barley ale with its origins in the Celtic brewing cultures of the British Isles. We have chosen this style to commemorate our first anniversary of brewing in order to showcase the distinctive regional flavours of Tasmanian honey and barley. Our First Anniversary braggot is made from equal parts Tasmanian pale malted Westminster barley and Meander Valley Clover honey from Wellington Apiary. Very lightly hopped, it is the same deep golden colour as the honey it is made from. Carbonation is low. Rich, floral honey aromas intertwine with bready malt, like honey smeared on a warm loaf straight out of the oven. Extended tank maturation and bottle conditioning prior to release have helped smooth out this exceptionally strong yet surprisingly easy drinking beer, with cellaring potential for many years to come. First Anniversary is best served at cellar temperature in a drinking horn, preferably in front of an open fire with some pungent cheese.
