BEER & CIDER

While there has tended to be considerable hype around each Rocky Ridge release, there’s a single beer of which head brewer and owner Hamish Coates are most proud. Named after his loyal brewery dog, who is also featured on the can art, Ace APA is especially sentimental because it features the Flinders hop, a hop variety that was recently revived from an old growing region in Albany in Western Australia’s South West and is now grown in the Rocky Ridge hop garden.

Named for a retired California Western Railroad steam engine on the Fort Bragg to Willits run through the Redwoods, Old No. 38 Stout is a smooth, firm-bodied stout with the toasted character and coffee notes of dark malts and roasted barley.

This mammoth IPA is defined by generous quantities of juicy American hops. The extensive dry-hopping process contributes to its bright and flavorful character. This beer is unfiltered to leave all the natural flavours intact and bottle conditioned to stay super fresh.
