Craft Beer | Redback Original

Redback Original is Australia’s original craft beer - first launched in the late eighties. Produced around the time of the Americas Cup defence - Redback’s innovation and unique style took an Australia starved of beer diversity by storm.

The style

Styled on the traditional German wheat beer or weizen style of beer. Redback has a fruity/clove aroma, a generous creamy mouth feel and refreshing hop finish.

The craft

We use both malted wheat and barley, and then hop with Pride of Ringwood hops. Fermentation is produced with a specially developed yeast strain.

The match

Prawns. Without a doubt Australia’s culinary coat of arms could be a chilled Redback with a couple of barbecued prawns — this could even be a possible design for a new Aussie flag. However, it is probably going a bit far to mention Redback in the anthem. Maybe.
