The Kooinda Brewery Good Beer Week Event

To continue our dabble into brewery events following the success of the ‘Kooinda Summer Sessions‘ we have signed up to put on something special to celebrate Craft Beer in Australia during Good Beer Week and in particular celebrating what is local and handcrafted. Using a similar formula to the KSS with live music we have gone one step further with a release of a limited edition ale made from Mosaic Hops. Ticket holders will be welcomed with a Kooinda Brewery glass of their own and the first taste of the limited edition Mosaic ale. But no more detail can be revealed about this until the night during a Q&A with our easy going & never short of a good ‘laugh out loud’ yarn Head Brewer – Mick Opie. Hecklers are welcome.

To set this brewery opening apart we had to do our research to find the right live show for this particular event. And we are not shy to say ‘Fuck Yeah, we are bringing it’. Where else but in a small time local brewery would be better to witness the raw & gritty bluegrass band Quarry Mountain Dead Rats with their 5 piece kicking, rocking & jumping live sets.

No senses will be disappointed with a collaboration from local Heidelberg restaurant Vyve to cater the evening so that all that is left to do is eat, drink, & tap your feet to what is local, handcrafted & quality.

Tickets are $40 and can be purchase from the Good Beer Week website. Follow the link and tweet about @KooindaBrewery or message us on Facebook.

Ticket holders receive:

Free Kooinda Brewery glass
First glass of new ale free
Light catering by local restaurant Vyve
Live music from Quarry Mountain Dead Rats
Q&A with Head Brewer Mick Opie

Also, available at the bar on the night – a selection of Kooinda ales on tap, Wild Cider Pineapple Mango, Wild Cider Strawberry Vanilla, White wine and basic spirits.

NEW English Red Ale

kooinda — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 01:35:52 +0000

We have been working hard to bring out two new beers to our loyal & expanding Kooi fans. The latest is a traditional English Red Ale with a deep ruby red colour and a pure white head which laces the glass. The beer combines a variety of caramel and biscuit malts to produce a complex, malt driven ale which is full bodied and rich in malt flavour. The ale is brewed with traditional Fuggles and Goldings hops of the United Kingdom. These hops provide an earthy flavour and aroma with a moderate to low bitterness. This is all about the rich malt flavour.

NEW – Milk Porter available

kooinda — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 02:59:57 +0000

This ‘handcrafted, unfiltered’ ale is a traditional porter which is black in colour and boasts a thick, rocky, brown head which laces the glass. The ale is brewed with a combination of dark, roasted and chocolate malts and is hopped with the Northern Brewer hop of the United Kingdom. This beer has flavours of chocolate and roasted coffee and a delicate milk sweetness. The subtle bitterness cuts through the rich, sweet malt flavours magnificently.

The new Milk Porter is currently available on TAP at:
