Murray's Whale Ale is a refreshing wheat beer with a twist. Its high percentage of malted and unmalted wheat and aromatic late hop profile gives a unique take on a session strength ale. A classic light body, creamy mouthfeel and refreshing citris flavour. This is balanced with assertive late hopping, giving a fresh, light tropical fruit aroma and cleansing dry finish.

Murray's Whale Ale is light gold in colour and lightly filtered to give it a sparkling appearance.

At first glance, you might think only his mum could love him. But once you try FRED IPA, we reckon you'll fall under his spell.

FRED is aggressively late hopped with a house blend of hops from the US Pacific Northwest. It has the classic US IPA hop aroma and flavour of big citrus, tropical fruit and pine notes throughout. An assertive bitterness is balanced by the sweetness of the pale, crystal and wheat malt additions.

A beautiful hopped up brew to be enjoyed with smoky and spicy south US style Mexican food. Read Less

Moon Boy is a very drinkable, session-strength, all natural Golden Ale.

Moon Boy has a very light Australian Pilsner malt backbone with a crisp, dry, very moreish finish. Extensive dry hopping with the New Zealand grown Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Pacifica hop gives a late tropical fruit aroma to spice things up - but without too much residual hop bitterness. Light, dry, lightly filtered, Moon Boy is great warm weather drinking. Read Less

Murray's Rudeboy Pilsner has a distinctive crisp, fresh hoppy flavour that has made it a favourite among the country's foodie community.

"The Rudeboy Pilsner is a very elegant lager with a classic biscuity malt backbone and assertive late hop character," says Head Brewer Shawn Sherlock. "It's traditionally been available draught only, but now the beer is available in the bottle. It has been a real challenge to reproduce the popular draught beer in the bottled format but as a lover of traditional Czech Pilsner I'm really happy with how the bottled Rudeboy Pilsner presents."

The beer pours a pale straw colour with an almost meringue-like head. The intense citrusy aroma and flavour is delivered by the New Zealand Motueka and Pacifica hop blend, which is balanced by sweet Euro malt, and finishes with a refreshing bitterness.

Rudeboy is Murray's interpretation of Pilsner made vaguely in the Czech style but with a New World twist. It pays homage to European brewing tradition using the old school lager brewing process of cold fermentation and extended conditioning periods, but the extensive late hopping takes this Pilsner in its own direction.

Icon 2IPA is one of the hoppiest beers consistently brewed in the southern hemisphere. It is also one of the highest rated beers brewed in Australia. It is inspired by modern American versions of the India Pale Ale style. The beer's extensive hopping (more than 1kg of hops per 100 litres) creates intense citrus, passionfruit and peppery characteristics, balanced by sweet biscuity malt and a full bodied, rich-and-rounded bitter finish.

Icon 2IPA is a challenge to brew, with the huge hop content literally overloading the brewery. Read Less

Murray's 'Wild Thing' Imperial Stout was inspired by the great stouts favoured by the Russian Imperial Court. A massive, intense drinking experience. The colour is black. Totally black. Impossible to see through even when held up to the light - nothing insipid about this beer.

Aromas of strong dark chocolate, a little fruitiness from the hops and yeast and some rumminess from the alcohol. The flavour is an intense hit of mocha - bitter dark chocolate bordering on coffee. Some malt sweetness but an aggressive hop bitterness. Massive mouth-fillling malt that almost overwhelms, before the freight train of the bitterness from the hops and the roast acidity kicks in to clean up the palate. Read Less

Murray's Grand Cru is a hybrid of the Belgian Trippel and Golden Strong Ale styles. Made with authentic Belgian yeast , this highly awarded beer pours a pale straw colour with a fluffy white head. Hints of banana and bubblegum, backed with the dry-hopped spiciness of Pacifica hops dominate the aroma and flavour. This is balanced by silky malt flavours, finishing with a mellow bitterness.

Murray's Grand Cru is a sophisticated, 'out-there' beer - our interpretation of two classic beer styles from one of the world's greatest brewing nations,Belgium.

Savour this world-class beer on its own, or pair with wild game or strong oily fish such as salmon. Also wonderful with strong cheese. Read Less

Murray's Thunderbolt IPA is our hoppiest IPA yet!

Packed full of Columbus, Mosaic and Equinox hops throughout the brewing process, then significantly dry hopped in the fermenter, Thunderbolt has an intense aroma and flavour of citrus, pine and tropical fruit. The firm bitterness is rounded out by the sweetness of caramalts and alcohol.

A beer to be enjoyed with care. Read Less

Big Wednesday IPA features an aggressive hop flavour, balanced by a biscuity malt character from the blend of British and German malts. The aroma is an aggressive blend of citrus and spice - almost passionfruit character and the finish is relatively dry for a beer of this abv.

It is a different kind of IPA to our Icon 2IPA - it is 1.5% lighter in alcohol, and it is a bit paler in colour. It uses a lot less of the richer caramel flavours from Crystal malt than the Icon in its malt bill. It is also unusual in that it used no standard bittering hop addition at all in the brewing process - all the bitterness in the beer is coming from the aggressive hop flavour from the late hop additions.

After our FRED, Big Wednesday and (who could forget) Lamb-Borghini IPA's, we have finally ventured into the world of Red IPA's!

'Skully' Red IPA - part of our 'Short Supply' series – is a deep red colour from the European caramalts, with a distinctive hop aroma from the US West Coast hops.

The generous amounts of Mosaic and Mt Hood hops give this IPA a strong piney/citrus/herbal aroma and flavour balanced with undertones of caramel from the malts. Delicious with a Massaman Curry! Read Less

Murray's Heart of Darkness 'Belgio' Imperial Stout is a mix of styles and according to Head Brewer, Shawn Sherlock, "one of a kind". Heart of Darkness is an Imperial Stout in basic style but with a stronger accent on the chocolate malt over the roast barley, some rummy, portiness from the dark brown sugar, and underpinning it all, some classic Belgian esters and very light phenolics from the yeast. The beer pours very dark brown/black in colour with dark ruby highlights when held up to the light.
This is a big, beautiful beer. A big, dark, beautiful beer. A big, dark Belgian-inspired beautiful beer. And at 9.6% abv it's made for sipping. Perfect for the darkest of winter nights. Read Less

Spartacus Imperial IPA has been brewed in the big US IPA style - but in a twist - uses no US grown hops at all. Spartacus gains its big tropical fruit hop character from New Zealand's finest Riwaka and Motueka hops.100 IBU of hop bitterness makes this a beer to test the palate but the different character of the New Zealand hops and the balance achieved from the best of British and German malts make it amazingly drinkable for its size.

Punk Monk carries the classic estery and lightly phenolic Belgian yeast character from the blend of authentic Belgian ale yeasts used. The body of the beer is complex with round biscuity German malt flavours initially filling the mouth before a surprisingly dry, summery finish for a beer of this size.

It is this dry finish that keeps it as a summer ale - very moreish and drinkable - but dangerous at 7.5% ABV. Also marking it as unusual for a Belgian style is its spicy late hop character. The beer isn't a hop driven style by any means but there is a stronger presence than in most Belgian styles which adds to the overall complexity of the beer. Read Less

Murray's Angry Man Brown Ale is a beer with bite that is deceptively drinkable. Strong, uncompromising flavour it is a BIG Brown Ale – bitter up front and smooth at the finish. Strong hop flavour and aroma and a little bit chocolaty. Beautiful dark ruby red when held up to the light, but solid dark brown in the shade.

At 6.5% abv, it demands respect but is not a show pony. Read Less

Shawn's Fault India Black Ale is an out-there beer and a lot of fun! Inspired by the emerging India Black Ale style, this is a full flavoured IPA brewed using dark malts. The result is a great blend of big hop flavour and aroma with the strong dark chocolate, almost coffee-like flavours from chocolate and black patent malts used.

If you like big flavours and something a bit different, you'll love Shawn's Fault. And if you don't , then it's Shawn's fault! This is not a beer for low-carb, no flavour fans. Read Less
