Stomping Ground Laneway Lager

When you're aiming to create a brewery venue that will appeal to newcomers to craft beer – not to mention the families that have flocked to Stomping Ground from its earliest days – you'll want to have a few not-too-challenging crowd pleasers on tap. And at the approachable end of their approachable regulars sits Leaps & Bounds.

It takes Munich helles lagers as its inspiration (and why not when they're so damn good) and delivers a soft floral and herbal hop characters and a gentle bitterness alongside soft malt flavours. And, while it has tended to be pale ales that do the heavy lifting in the marketplace for Australia's microbreweries, this is the Stomping Ground beer that's been proving far and away the most popular.
