Newy Pale Ale is a celebration of this great city. Fresh, aromatic hop driven Pale Ale, brewed in the ‘HopBurst’ style with all hops added as late as possible in the brewing process. This maxes out the fruity hop flavour and aroma without maxing out the bitterness. Great Australian and German malts and our house British ale yeast blend ensures a great blend of full flavour and drinkability.
Renew with a Newy!

The Citizen pours a deep amber with an effervescent tan head. Earthy aromas of spice and mandarin up front with lightly toasted caramel malts and a peppery, dry finish. Brewed with a blend of German, British, and Australian malts, NZ grown hops and a French Saison yeast, The Citizen’s heritage is complex and challenging – like all the best things in modern Australia.

Red Right Hand is an IPA with a difference. Luscious caramel malts balance the intense tropical fruit and bitter citrus hit of the US Mosaic and El Dorado hops. All the hop aroma, flavour and bitterness you’d expect from an IPA but with a fuller malt palate and beautiful dark reddy copper colour in the glass.

Sligo Extra Stout was awarded the Champion Stout at the 2015 Australian Craft Beer Industry Awards. It is a big, dark, roast beer as it should be – brewed in tribute to the Export Stouts of old but with a modern craft approach. Layers of dark chocolate and roast coffee character with a strong hop bite. Clean and drinkable for its size but a good winter warmer just the same. Named after the great west coast Irish County Sligo, Sligo Extra Stout is for the lovers of all things dark…

Dads with Prams is a hoppy Pale Ale with a difference. Brewed with the best malts and the intensely fruity NZ grown Riwaka hop, Dads with Prams packs plenty of flavour and aroma into a tiny ABV package. At 2.4% it is the lightest alcohol brew FogHorn has released – and one of the lightest Craft Beers in Australia. Light bodied, crisp and very drinkable but still with good aroma and flavour Dads with Prams is perfect for when you need all the flavour but less of the booze. Perfect warm weather drinking.
Malts: Gladfield Pale Malt (NZ), Weyermann Carapils (Germany), Weyermann Carahell (Germany), Baird’s Medium Crystal (UK)
Hops: Riwaka NZ

The Greatest is our newest India Pale Ale here at FogHorn. It is a little different to the others – light on its feet, cracking dry finish, just enough bitterness to pack a punch and waves of fruity hop aroma and flavour dominating all before it. Our small tribute to Ali. The Greatest.
DATE FIRST TAPPED: 20th May 2015
An Australian style pale ale with a twist. Citrus US late hop character, plenty of flavour and body, but still with great drinkability.
As crisp & dry as an ale gets.
A beer of many parts.
An ideas beer!

Luscious dark burnt caramel malt bordering on high cocoa dark chocolate. But this beer isn’t all about the malt. It has a bracing but not astringent bitterness, and against the choc background, cascades wave after wave of citrus and passionfruit US and Kiwi hop aroma. An IPA. But Black.
Date First Tapped: 14th May 2015
Rich caramel malt, assertive bitterness to cleanse the palate and fresh US and Aus flavour and aroma hops to take the style in a new direction. The best of British malts and yeast meet the best New World hops. English bitter the way it is meant to be, straight from the tank.

One of our favourite styles. the Dubliner is true to its Irish roots, Dry and easy to drink but with big roast, almost burnt coffee flavour and aroma. Bitter but smooth. Served on our traditional Hand Pump instead of more modern versions ‘cheating’ by using Nitrogen to puff up the head and round out the body, the Dubliner is Irish Stout as it should be. Full flavour, no compromise. Possibly the ultimate session beer for those who like it dark…

Gold Medal Winner at the 2017 Australian International Beer Awards.
Mash hopped, first wort hopped, whirlpool hopped, fresh hop flowers in the hopback, dry hopped… You get the picture. All about the hops! US Simcoe & Citra and NZ Wakatu flowers… Enough malt to balance, hazy and unfiltered US Craft inspired hop juice. Dedicated to the late, great David Bowie. “All night! She wants the Young American”.

FogHorn Germania Lager is our take on the Oktoberfest/Marzen style popular in Bavaria at this time of year! Strong malt body and aroma from the finest of German malts, a clean lager fermentation profile from a long cool ferment and extended conditioning (or ‘lagering’) time and just enough hops to balance. In an ocean of aggressively hopped beers the Germania stands out by letting the toasty German malts shine. Guaranteed to keep you thigh slapping and polka-ing well into the night!

Edmund Fitzgerald Imperial IPA is the biggest, hoppiest FogHorn beer yet. A biscuity German malt base is the setting for an explosion of hop character. Bitterness, flavour, aroma and that long lasting resinous mouthfeel only fresh whole cone hop flowers can provide. At 10.2% ABV it is strong, but the alcohol is smooth and well integrated for a beer of this size. Bigger isn’t always better but sometimes it just is… An indulgent beer to sip and savour across the winter months for all the hop lovers out there.

It’s back, one of the early favourites: Session IPA. Solid bitterness, citrus and pine whole cone hop flavour and aroma. Bitter but insanely drinkable. The beer you always wanted to be.

Our take on the classic (US) West Coast style IPA. Featuring the best of US and NZ hops, it is a showcase for hop flavour and aroma, with a strong malt balance. Bitter but insanely drinkable. Rise Up!
Date First Tapped: 09 May 2015
Fruity US late hop aroma and just enough German pilsner malt to balance. Good drinking, cleansing bitterness and dry finish. A great place to start your voyage.

Currently on the hand pump.
Like the Godfather of Soul himself, a pocket dynamo of a beer. Don’t let the ABV fool you – big American Brown Ale flavour and aroma. A touch of caramel, a little bitter chocolate and big whole cone hop flavour and aroma. A great beer by the pint.
