A subtle hint of spice from coriander seeds makes this a foodie's delight. Try your skill at creating a dish to match this beauty. Available for the first time at the GABS festival May 23rd-25th and direct from the Grand Ridge website from May 26th.

New Limited Release
Dark Side of Juniper - Dark Lager with Juniper Berries - 5.2% ABV.
We are very excited to officially release our latest limited release beer, brewed specially for GABS (Great Australian Beer Spectapular) 2013.
This velvety smooth dark lager has been infused with Juniper berries
and cold conditioned for an extended period of time. The gin like
aroma and flavours from the Juniper merge seamlessly with the Nelson
Sauvin hop character. A backbone of Munich malt and Midnight wheat
rounds out the complex palate to perfection.

2013 Australian International Beer Awards

A new take on an old classic, the Hoppy Frog combines the best
British malts with French hops to create an IPA with a difference.
The well regarded Maris Otter made up the bulk of the malt bill to replicate the golden ale that sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to quench thirsts in India.
Multiple French hop varieties including brand new Triskel, were used in generous additions. The result is a unique floral aroma with pleasing lemon overtones and a gentle yet assertive bitterness.
The Hoppy Frog will make its official debut at the Victorian Microbreweries Showcase on October 24th & 25th at Federation Square.
Hop in to it!
