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)

4 Saisons in One Day is our modern take on a traditional Saison style beer. 4 Saisons is brewed with a blend of the best barley malts, as well as a high percentage of malted and unmalted wheat. The real hero of the brew however is the French Saison yeast that contributes earthy, fruity esters and a cracking dry finish. The perfect beer for the hot Australian summer, this is the driest finishing beer we’ve ever released – light bodied, dry and refreshing. Lemon, citrus and almost black pepper notes from the blend of the yeast and the NZ Pacifica hops makes 4 Saisons in One Day perfect for pairing with oysters, squid and white fleshed fish – a better match than any dry white wine with seafood. Light bodied, dry and complex.

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!

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”.

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!

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.
