The brewers at Barossa Valley Brewing have brought in the expertise of their local winemakers before. Yet they have never got their great-loving neighbours involved to quite the same extent as with their latest beer, The Barossa Threesome. Pitched as "a fusion of the best of the Barossa", the beer takes a hefeweizen base then adds Semillon and Riesling wines. The result, we're told, is a beer with "a beautiful hefe nose of banana" in which "the wines' acidity changes the taste to more of a krystalweizen". It has been named The Barossa Threesome as it is a result of the joint efforts of one brewery and two wineries - David Franz Wines & Maverick Wines - and results in "a pleasantly light, easy-drinking beer which still retains the best qualities of a Weizen but has the thirst quenching properties of an everyday lager."
