Bendigo Brew

---

A new "working man's brew". This is a light-copper coloured, clean-tasting lager

with faint spiciness and an assertive, biscuity maltiness. It's a classic delicious

version of this time-honoured style. The name is reminiscent of the type of gold 

found on many of Bendigo's richest reefs.

Summer brew is a hybrid of two rather dissimilar beer styles: wit, or white beer,

which hails from Belgium and is brewed mainly with wheat malt, orange peel, and

coriander spice, and IPA, a reddish-hued, hops-forward English-style ale Australians

have fallen head over heels with. It plays well with sweet, rich cheese and 

Traditionally brewed in Flemish farmhouses for seasonal workers. This traditional

version is a touch sour, which, albari o-like, cuts through paella's richness. It's a

super versatile beer style: think delicate spiciness, cracker-like malt backbone, and

tongue-scrubbing carbonation. A perfect match for Bendigo's emerging 

The citrusy hops make a tartar sauce pop and the light malt flavour gives a fish a hug,

instead of overpowering it.

Complex, rich flavours of raisin, treacle, and stone fruit, this beer style might not

seem an obvious combo for pasta, save for its magic ingredient: bacon. Like a

robust red wine, this Burgundian beer style was made for matching up with rich,

cheesy dishes.

Craft beers are no longer always "heavy." Many new-school light Australian craft

lagers-meaning, modern takes on the traditional canned beers of yesteryear-are

straightforward, clean-tasting, and refreshing brews that don't skimp on flavour,

but won't overpower light, bright flavours, or the subtle sweetness of fried food
