All beers are filtered and served at 2? straight from the tanks in the brewery to your glass. The beers take their names from the style of beer that they are based on. They are not meant to be perfect examples of each style, rather they’re interpretation of that style.
Margaret River Ale Company
This is a boldly flavoured brew with rich malt character and the unmistakable riff of freshly aromatic hops. This style of Ale is wildly popular on the West Coast of America, particularly from Californian to Oregon. “Dry Hopping”, by adding hop flowers to the fermenting beer, gives this beer a deliciously bitter bite to the finish.
Our Pale Ale is brewed using only natural ingredients, inkling filtered Margaret River tap water, malted barley, hops and yeast.
All of our beer is “cask conditioned” prior to leaving the brewery. This process is the traditional way to carbonate beer by allowing the beer to condition inside a keg, producing real Ale character and a each, creamy head when poured.
