Our beers change all the time, because we are small batch brewer no two beers will be the same. Over time our beer availability will sell out (which is a good thing right?). Occasionally we might try to recreate our most popular beers. Note – if you see a beer with a key ingredient – eg: limes, blueberries or pumpkin, it is mashed and brewed with that ingredient (not flavoured). Six packs are currently $28 and singles are $8 per stubby. We also have merchandise available such as T-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs and baseball caps. Discounts apply to merch if purchased with a six pack.
Before you go. We love the place where we brew. We live in a tiny hamlet in SW Gippsland. Help us Save Kongwak from inappropriate development sign the petition by zapping this QR Code – and you can read all about it.

“Mrs. Chicken” Gluten Free Lager
COMING AGAIN SOON ! Mrs. Chicken is a delicious gluten free lager made from sorghum, corn and honey. It is gorgeously clear (amber gold) and a delicious Summer beer with a solid level of carbonation and a pure white head. Mrs. Chicken is named after a coeliac friend of mine, who carried this nickname moniker. Mrs. C was developed due to feedback from so many clients that they couldnt taste or drink my beer because they are coeliacs. Now problem solved ! Mrs. Chicken is a clean crisp lager with a lovely honey aroma and a very slightly bitter finish from Saaz hops. It is flying out the door because it is being enjoyed by all beer drinkers regardless of gluten status. At 5.3 % ABV is it 1.3 standard drinks.
