Maibocks are a strong malty German lager traditionally brewed for the transition from cooler to warmer weather. We think it's equally suited to the transition from warmer to cooler weather here in the Southern hemisphere. While having substantial strength and body, in line with the bock style, it is a light amber colour compared to the darker Winter bocks.

Forest Rabbit is inspired by Boskeun, an Easter seasonal beer released annually by Belgium?s De Dolle Brouwers for the last 40 years. A big amber coloured beer featuring malty-sweet, light honey and nutty notes along with spicy notes from the Belgian yeast. The perfect pairing with hot cross buns.

Golden Valley is our homage to Orval, the Belgian Trappist beer that has served as a huge inspiration for our brewing philosophy at Slow Lane. A bitter ale fermented with a Belgian Abbey yeast strain and dry hopped with Styrian Golding hops, then can-conditioned with Brettanomyces to give the beer its distinctive complexity. Similarly to Orval, this is a living beer and its flavours will continue to develop during extended cellaring.

German Pils are the German adaptation of the original Pilsners from Pilsen in the Czech Republic. Brewed using pilsner malt and noble hops, both sourced from Germany, Jagged Little Pils spent five weeks lagering in our horizontal tanks. This is a pale, dry and bitter beer with an extra crisp finish.

Bitters were the dominant beer style in English pubs from the 1960s to the 1990s, until it was surpassed by light lagers. Amber coloured and surprisingly full of flavour given their low alcohol content, they are arguably the ultimate session beer. Keep it Real is our modern interpretation of a traditional Bitter, brewed with all English malt and hops.

Melody is a Vienna Lager, reddish-copper in colour, smooth and malty, with some toffee and bready flavours. It?s brewed with a restrained hop usage giving just enough bitterness to provide a balanced finish. First introduced in Vienna in the 1840s, it is now a style that is rare in Austria, but has been embraced by several large Mexican breweries as well as craft breweries around the world.

Flemish Red Ales are often referred to as the Burgundy of Belgium due to their deep reddish-brown hue and wine-like characteristics. Outback Sky is our interpretation of a Flemish Red Ale. Composed of a blend of 9 month old and 24 month old barrels. Complex flavours of rich malts, sourness, dark fruits and oak.

The Czech Republic has the highest beer (pivo) consumption in the world, with over 140L consumed annually per capita. That?s almost double that of Australia. And you thought Australians liked their beer! You could say that pivo is pivotal to the Czech lifestyle? Pivotal stays true to the 10? Plato lagers preferred in the Czech Republic. It showcases Czech pilsner malt produced using a traditional floor malting process, spicy Saaz hops and a classic Czech lager strain.

Shadow Puppet is our first West Coast Pilsner, a style that combines the clean malt and yeast profile of a pilsner with the big hopping of a West Coast IPA. We used freshly harvested 2024 Australian Eclipse hops, including a generous dry hop. Giving the beer strong mandarin and citrus notes, with a touch of pine.

Tripels are a strong pale beer that have been brewed in Belgium since the 1930?s. The name originates from when breweries marked their beers with X?s according to their strength.Those marked with three X?s being referred to as a Tripel. Threefold has complex flavours from fermentation with a Belgian style yeast strain. This beer is highly carbonated through a re-fermentation in the package just like the original Tripels from Belgium.

8.4% ABV

Old Ale is a strong, dark and malty British beer style that, as the name suggests, is aged for long periods of time. Like historic versions, Not Too Heys was aged in oak barrels with Brettanomyces. Mahogany in colour with nutty, plum, caramel, wood and leather notes. Nicely balanced between the moderate sweetness, substantial bitterness and light acidity.

9.5% ABV

The biggest of all Belgian beers, Quadrupels follow the monastic tradition of naming beers by their alcoholic strength. Fourfold is characterised by intense caramel, dark sugar and malty sweet flavours supported by raisin, date and fig notes.

This beer is can-conditioned, naturally carbonated via a refermentation in the can. This is the traditional method used for Belgian-style beers and allows the beer to further develop during extended cellaring.

Coopers XPA is all about ?extra? hop flavour whilst being well balanced and easy to drink. With Simcoe and Lemondrop American hops added at different stages of the brewing process we have achieved an optimal bitterness level with bright citrus undertones. Like all of our Ales, XPA is naturally conditioned and free from any additives or preservatives.

Coopers Dry delivers on the promise of a refreshing, low-carb, fine-filtered beer. It has been produced from our own maltings facility as the foundation for the brew, resulting in a smooth and delicate mouthfeel. It has a refreshing citrus taste of lime and lemon, combined with subtle floral aroma notes. The low malt sweetness and modest bitterness allows this beer to be paired with a wide range of foods, to be enjoyed in the company of discerning drinkers all year round.

Coopers Ultra Light has all the hallmarks of a great premium beer. It has a rich golden colour, and has a full malty aroma and flavour with one important difference: an alcohol content of only 0.5%.

The flavour is initially sweet but is balanced by the moderately high bitterness and finishes with a soft body with good carbonation and crisp after-bitterness.
