Wolf of the Willows Brewing (VIC) Brownie Bomb
5.5% | Brown Ale – UK
“This year we have collaborated with one of Melbourne’s top bakeries, Lumos. Inspired by their famous Brownie Bomb pastry, we’ve brewed a UK style Brown Ale, layered with bready, pastry malts and added dark chocolate, organic cacao nibs and baked pastry offcuts curtesy of Lumos Bakery.”
Your Mates Brewing Co. (QLD) Milky Bar Imperial White Stout
8.0% | Stout – Pastry
“A deceptively light-colored stout that delivers the richness of a traditional dessert beer, with a focus on white chocolate and creamy vanilla, complemented by a noticeable yet smooth alcohol warmth. Perfect for those who enjoy full-bodied, silky-smooth, and indulgent stouts with a decadent, dessert-like finish.”
