21 Aug OUR TOP 10 BEERS FOR LOCKDOWN
Lockdown is here, so let’s stay at home and drink quality craft beer.
It’s tricky finding the right beer to drink online, so our beer experts have made it easy.
- Mountain Culture DDH Double IPA
Be Kind and Rewind this lockdown.
It’s back! Mountain Culture is housed in what was one of the last Civic Video stores left in the country before it shut its doors in 2017. It’s message was always Be Kind Rewind and never has that simple ode been more relevant than now. As for the beer, they brewed this to be big and juicy in the hope that it will take you on a tropical excursion without you having to leave your home.
Voted the Number one beer across all categories on Untappd.
2. Range Quench Lager
QUENCH is their ultra bright and crushable mid-strength lager. They’ve brewed this recipe to satisfy our cravings for delicious and crispy lager that doesn’t hit hard in the ABV department.
For this batch they fermented with a slightly cleaner and drier lager strain to enhance drinkability. QUENCH is flavoursome, clean and refreshing, with a light breadiness and a mild and pleasant bitterness. Perfect for when taking it easy is a necessity. Like right now.
3. Jindabyne Pilsner
Keep it local.
A refreshing full flavoured pilsner has a Rich golden colour with strong aroma of malt and traditional Czech Saaz hops, A traditional cold ferment gives a subtle buttery malt flavour to smooth out the assertive bitterness.
4. Mr Banks Citra Feels
Citra Feels – DDH Oat Cream Double IPA Hopped with Citra & Citra Cryo. Why Citra? Because Citra is King.
All Juice with that silky mouthfeel thanks to the Oats & lactose.
5. Capital Hang Loose Juice
Here it comes. Capital’s first Special Release – Hang Loose Juice is a righteous Blood Orange NEIPA!
With late edition hops resulting in a brew that tastes like a glass of freshly squeezed juice bursting with tropical notes and a refreshing bitter finish.
Winner of Best IPA at the Australian Beer Festival.
6. Bentspoke Descent 21
The Beer is a 10% stout that feels like starting a downhill descent into the unknown. Aged in bourbon barrels for 12 months allowing the vanilla, whisky and wild yeast characters to invade this RIS.
The roasty, bitter black malt and leather like esters from the stout integrated with the wild yeast characters from bourbon barrel aging complete this winter warmer!!
7. Hawkers Red Shift Red IPA
Buckle up for a perception-bending experience—a rounded, biscuity malt profile fuses with prominent floral and earthy hop characters to deliver an out-of-this-world-IPA, finished by a levelling bitterness that brings you back to reality.
Journey to the stars without ever leaving the ground.
8. Grifter Big Sur 
Loads of piney, citrus and stone fruit notes from the use of all american hops for a nice lean west coast IPA.
If you like American hops, this is the beer for you. BIG SUR (named after the mountainous coastal region in California) is Grifter’s take on the acclaimed West Coast IPA. A style which holds a special place in the hearts of all craft beer drinkers.
9. Wildflower St Florence Riesling.
St Florence is named after Topher and his wife’s first daughter. Saint Florence was a 7th century abbess from Cartagena, Spain.
In 2020, this variant was made from golden mixed fermentation, barrel aged beer and 30kg of hand picked smoke affected Gewürztraminer grapes from Ravensworth Wines in Murrumbateman, NSW.
10. Dainton Blood Orange NEIPA
Blood Oranges are awesome.
They give you a vitamin C hit and you get to pretend you are a fruit vampire, sucking the life out of your helpless victim. Sweet.
We’ve really jumped on the NEIPA bandwagon – though we have Daintonfied it – Rye + Blood OJ. Fruity Hop Fun! Woo!
