Red Hill Brewery Presents
Out now in cans and on tap this Spring…. A Crazy American Lost in Belgium. A formidable beer, a strong, understated Belgian. Then BOOM this crazy American influence has invaded the brewhouse and dangerously hopped this beer with massive takes of US style hops. Its exaggerated, dangerous, bold, arrogant and definitely CRAZY
Our famed Temptation is out now, and as always it is funky, Belgian, great yeast character and very very easy to enjoy by the goblet. But theres a reason its known as our little Devil!
Enjoy in goblets at the brewery bar, or grab a 4 pack from us or your local crafty specialist, be sure to hunt this one out

Two new craft beers are now available in cans from the Mornington Peninsula’s Original Craft Brewery.
A very exciting day for us this week, where a long term goal culminated in awesome new beers in our actual hands (and yes, mouths not long after)
The Two Bays Pale, a summery pacific ale, which has been brewed to best match the Peninsula life, only 4.5% it has been our most requested beer for the last two years, in fact it has generated the need to produce the fresh new look that sees these two beers head into cans.
The other one relatively new to our lineup, but one that has been so popular it has been added as a permanent feature is the East Coast IPA, a session IPA with super fresh and hoppy character that not only will appeal to the hopheads, but at a smooth 5.5% you can drink it all summer.
Both join the lineup year round, on tap and in cans
The kitchen resident is barbecue legends Bovine and Swine. They showcase their authentic southern style barbecue and their custom made Manhorne smoker at the brewery.
“Hillbilly Wes” is Australia’s original pit boss. He launched Bovine and Swine Barbecue in Sydney, opening to a meat hungry city with lines stretching out the door for the best barbecue in town. Within the first year was awarded a Good Food AU award. Since opening, Wes has built a dedicated professional team with the ethos of ensuring that the Barbecue experience is the best available.
Low and slow is how they like it in Texas and that’s how Bovine & Swine make it. Living and breathing classic barbecue. Cooking starts at 5 AM every day for that perfect bark, melt in your mouth texture and smokey taste. For Wes, it all started in Lockhart, Texas – the Barbecue Capital of America, where he was mesmerised by the sights and tastes of real Barbecue. Whilst travelling he worked with some of the best Barbecue restaurants in Austin. Wes has brought his passion and that authentic Central Texas taste to Australia. He travels with the team from Queensland to South Australia and now to Red Hill.
On weekends, it’s all about the barbecue plate, here is a taste of the menu.
* Beef Brisket, encrusted with a salty and peppery bark that once tasted becomes melt in the mouth… pure Texas.
* Indulge in the chopped pork, barbecued in the Carolina style.
* Enjoy the juicy chicken breast with a coffee rub, sliced and tender.
* Drool over pork ribs hit with a lick of smoke and rubbed with a delicate spice salt.
* Hot link spicy sausages house recipe that uses beef, pork, jalapeño and cheese, thickly sliced.
To create your meal, simply choose your meat on a plate for one, two or more and add your sides.
In addition, there are always some tasty side dishes consisting of the regular Barbecue fare, sharp pickles, mac and cheese and a vinegar dressed coleslaw. Finally, vegetarians and vegans are not forgotten and can be catered for delicously too.
Discover the midweek meals a beer-friendly snacks menu with sandwiches and snacks such as Loaded Tater Tots or Wings. Join in on the weekends they to experience the full southern barbecue experience.
Finally, special menu items for events might see slow cooked beef ribs featured or the Whole Hog special Barbecue, full Carolina style cooked within a cinder block pit it aint your average roast.
Once upon a time in a bar in Brugge Belgium (you know the ones, with 350 beers) three of us were on a special pre-Christmas road trip.
Each shout was a round of 3, of course, by brewery. So the Chimay shout went like this, 8% Chimay Gold for her. 12% Chimay Blue for him, and low and behold every Belgian brewer has a 14% Christmas Beer in its own special chalice just for this time of year, so of course our brother was gifted that one. I don’t need to tell you how that night ended up for him.
But wow! Christmas beers. We were immediately smitten.
We we first opened our own brewery in 2005 it was the first speciality beer we brewed. And one of the first seasonal brews even made by a brewery in Australia. We have recently tried one from that year and its aged like a fine cognac. Very rich and winey. Cellaring this beer gives a great idea of what a beer goes through. It is fantastic after a few years. Theres a midway point where they may taste a bit off or sour, then a few years later, 5-6, they become incredible. At 13years, probably a bit past it but still enjoyable.
We always aim to release it by 1st December. This year, enjoy our lucky 13th brew of this special festive beer. This year it comes in our new wrapping paper, a whole new look for the brewery
New Look Christmas Ale and Cans coming December 2018
Many of us have shared a sip of ‘local’ with one of the eminently sessionable brews made by Red Hill Brewery. In the Peninsula’s dynamic brewing community, creativity is now being expressed through more than just the flavours — imaginative packaging has become a big part of the beer experience.
This December, the brewery reveals the new look and officially launches two styles of session beers, previously only on tap, in their new packaging – the can.
Over a decade and a half, entrepreneurs Karen and David Golding, decided there was a gap in the abundant food and wine industry of the region for good beer – today the thriving brewery produces 20 innovative styles per annum.
“For over three years we have been producing both our Two Bays Australian Pacific Pale Ale and the East Coast Session IPA, busting with hops. Our customers have loved it and we have received great feedback on the styles. We have been weighing up the right way to take it from the tap to our customers and the can is where we have landed.” Indeed, the quest for the right look for these two brews somewhat pushed us to change up the whole design of our products. Perfectly crafted to suit the Peninsula beachside vibe, and very sessionable, the new brews in the cans offers drinkers a great looking product that many believe keeps beer fresher and better tasting.”
“The growing market has allowed smaller batches of canning lines to be produced for small business like our own. The moment we saw the idea proposed by design agency; Design by Bird, we felt it really spoke of our sense of place and our commitment to the authenticity of our process and the product. When we first developed our brand look, nearly 15 years ago, it was quite different to what was around. Now the evolution of craft beer has opened people’s minds to what is possible in packaging and styles. We wanted our new look to still look like us, draw on our history and be strongly representative of where we come from, but give us more freedom to be creative and work on both the bottles and our new addition to the stable – the can.”
“We have commissioned many special labels from artists in the last five years; the Red Range and some from cartoonist Matt Golding, they have had great feedback. We worked with Design by Bird to commission local Red Hill artist Darren Doye to create a piece which truly showed the Brewery at Red Hill’s heart with glimpses of the two bays either side.

When asked what makes RHB different, Karen shared; “we are real artisans. In a land where most beer comes out of big factories, much of it from the same factories – many brands are not breweries. We not only grow the hops and use our local rainwater, but feel, the way we brew, and the place we make it in, makes a difference to what we produce for our drinkers.’
