I visited Australia’s only Brewery, Bar and Bottle Shop in Moorabbin. It is called the Grape & Grain and is a bottle shop with an amazing selection of great beers from Australia and around the world. It also has twelve taps pouring great craft beer including some made onsite in the Bale Workers Brewery. This is a small scale brewery that produces interesting and different beers for the fun of beer making.
The couple of their beers that I sampled were:
1. Carrot Cake Pale Ale, 5.2% abv, this ale has a malty aroma and although I couldn’t taste any carrot cake, I did enjoy the nutty malt taste. This is an unusual but delicious beer.
2. Dark Chilli Sour, 5.2% abv, this dark beer has a great coffee and chocolate malt aroma and has a wonderful malt sweetness followed by a sour taste and then a mild hot chilli finish. It is interestingly different and very enjoyable.
What a great little Brewery and bar and a most amazing bottle shop. They have a fantastic range of beers. Definitely worth the visit.
