BREWERS COMMENTS

The dark Lager is one of our original brews, here since the very beginning (over 10 years ago). It hasn’t lost its appeal in the ever-changing craft beer world as it is a great entry level dark beer and provides a full flavour that’s not heavy in body.

As one of the only independent Dark beers still available for purchase in stubbie form, restaurants love to stock these as they pair perfectly with a range of foods.

Released in cans in 2024, the Dark Lager is one of our core range that’s available in both stubbies and cans.
