Prescription 12 takes two of our favourite things. Black & Belgian to become a Belgian Black IPA.

Our Mind Warp Black IPA with Belgian yeast and candi syrups gives Prescription 12 a complex delight of flavours and aromas.

The malty, biscuit, toasty flavours are backed with hints of dark fruits before the lingering addictive bitterness finishes off the mouth-feel. The image inside the glass on the label is antibiotic crystals under a microscope and sum-up that Prescription 12 is your Spring antibiotic. Read Less

An Australian unfiltered Double White Ale, Zephyr showcases Australian native lemon myrtle and coriander in a balanced but full bodied and full flavoured Belgian Wit inspired summer beer.

The upfront lemon myrtle aromatic draws you in, to the ultimate thirst quenching and refreshing summer beer. If you look closely you may have also been rewarded with minute remnants of zealous coriander use.

Deliciously refreshing and incredibly palatable this is your Doctor’s Orders seasonal for summer. Read Less

Everything is better in black. Everything is better with more hops. We prescribe Doctor’s Orders first lager, a Black Imperial Pilsner for your enjoyment.

Continuing our ethos of bringing you thought provoking and inspirational hybrid prescriptions, Iron Lung gives you everything you enjoy in Black IPA’s with the distinctive nuisances of a lager with the colour twist.

Iron Lung showcases Australian and German malts; American and New Zealand hops in a hop forward but approachable Autumn lager. The American hops welcome you into a prolonged journey of wonderful bitterness backed with a complimentary balance of malt and lager derived flavor.

It wouldn't be a Doctor’s Orders beer if it didn't mangle a traditional style and then turn it up to 11. Too much and you may need the services of an Iron Lung. Read Less

The Great Australasian Beer Fest (May 11-13 2012) in Melbourne saw 60 Australian & New Zealand Craft Brewers commissioned to produce a special festival beer never previously produced by the breweries before. Doctor’s Orders festival beer is Plasma which continues on from where “Iron Lung” left off (everything is better with more hops).

Plasma a White IPA is yet another emerging trend that we’re happy to embrace and present a Doctor’s Orders Brewing twist on.

Judicious hop use dominates Plasma’s aroma, backed up with a balanced mouth feel defying its alcoholic payload before delivering an extremely long lingering enjoyable bitterness. A deceivingly addictive prescription. Read Less

Tonic is ambidextrous. You can drink it straight up as a refreshing Summer Witbier with its array of botanicals (orange peel, juniper berries, lemon myrtle, coriander and cinchona bark), or use it as a tonic mixer by adding a shot of your favourite gin. We recommend the citrus forward craft gin from Baker Williams (Mudgee). Cucumber garnish optional.

First brewed in 2014 with Wheaty Brewing Corps, Adelaide (AU) & Yeastie Boys, UK / NZ. This version is amplified.

Enjoy this refreshing summer witbier with its balanced botanicals or use it as the perfect tonic to bring your favourite gin to life.

Operation Paralysis is a collaboration between Doctor’s Orders Brewing and co-founder of Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Brewery, Shane Welch.
Following months of discussions and ideas a hop monster kept floating to the top of the list. Something Doctor’s Orders hadn’t done commercially, but a mainstay of Sixpoints nano-kegs.
Pushing the brewery well beyond the manufacturers recommendations we produced the biggest beer possible and used more hops than any sane brewer would contemplate. The result, a behemoth of an IPA. More than likely bigger in every aspect than anything you have had before. Bold, bitter and addictive if you’ve gone through the ‘lupulin threshold shift’.

Holy hot lava, our new Spring seasonal is an Imperial Irish Red Steinbier.
Here at Doctor’s Orders Brewing we love malt, hops
and smoke. With our new Spring Seasonal we’ve also
added another favourite, fire. Fire to heat volcanic rocks that we dropped into the kettle which super-heated our sweet wort.
The super-heated volcanic rocks when dunked into the wort imparted a luscious caramel and toffee profile with a hint of smoke marrying perfectly with the Irish Red base with a bonus of 7% alcohol

Way back in the Winter of 2011 we released Pulse. The beautiful marriage of hops and oatmeal with a Belgian yeast. Pulse (Belgian Oatmeal IPA) was extremely well received even though it was ahead of its time. Using this as inspiration we've revitalised it in a Pale Ale guise.

Luscious in colour and mouth-feel with assertive bitterness and complexity from the Belgian yeast this Pale Ale has the Doctor's Orders twist.

A 100% Wheat beer is quite unique. Wheat, Dark Wheat, Torrified Wheat, Crystal Wheat, Chocolate Wheat and Roasted Wheat combined to produce a Wheat Porter.
Vaccine looks and smells like a Porter but has an easy drinking body not normally associated with a Porter. Vaccine finishes nice and dry before you get the subtle undertone of the Wasabi addition.
The amazingly tight creamy head is also a by-product of the 100% wheat malts used.
Vexing, intriguing and quaffably delicious, Vaccine is our Mid-Autumn seasonal for 2014. Read Less

Enjoy between 8-12degC. Doctor’s Orders Synapse is a Black Saison, a modern twist on a traditional style. Taking the traditional but wide spectrumed Belgian/French Saison style and making it black, but without the roast and astringency often associated with dark coloured ales.

Produced using an ale base malt, a good dose of wheat and European crystal with a final injection of huskless roast malt at the beginning of the sparge to provide colour and hints of chocolate. The combination of three additions of Spalt hops with the French Saison yeast that was allowed free unrestrained reign of the wort provides the spicy bitterness and the dry and subtle tart finish without letting the 6% dominate your palette.

“tart berliner weisse with rhubarb”
A traditional German unfiltered spontaneously and traditionally fermented sour ale with a vegetable twist. This Red Berliner Weisse continues what last years mid- Summer seasonal (Cephalopod – Black Berliner Weisse) started, by showcasing a traditional brewing technique of a sour mash and no-boil before being fermented with a German Ale yeast blended with lactobacillus and brettanomyces to produce a refreshingly tart and thirst quenching 4.7% summer ale.
The vibrant visual provided by the rhubarb infused Berliner Weisse prepares you for the unique taste sensation that is sour ales, but in balanced approachable moderation. Read Less
