Shedshaker NEIPA, Belgian Dubbel & Heart of Darkness Imperial Stout Beer
In the realm of craft beer, 2024 is shaping up to be another exciting year for Shedshaker as they prepare to move into bigger premises. Twelve months ago, the Castlemaine brewers wowed punters at Bendigo On The Hop 2023 with their blinged-up Gold NEIPA, shortly followed by a packaged version without…
Cornella Brewery Roxanne Red IPA, Old Town Red Ale & Festbier Beer
The team at Cornella continue to pump new beers through the brewery at their regional Victorian location, here covering many bases: experimenting with new ingredients in a new world style, trying their hand once again at traditional brews, and bringing back a past success. For Bendigo On The Hop 2024,…
Cornella Brewery Cosmic Slop Vol 2 & Old Town Dark Ale Beer
This double drop from Cornella Brewery features beers that both bear the name of previous releases from the Victorians, which is something outside the norm for a brewery that prefers its limiteds ephemeral, but is not without reason. Fourteen months ago, Cornella Brewery released Cosmic Slop, a homage…
Cornella Brewery Canyonero & Marching On Together Beer
Craft beer's packaging often draws inspiration from popular culture. Nods to TV, classic film, sports, or simply nostalgia are part and parcel of the craft beer industry and for Cornella Brewery, their double release sees them lean into some favourites for the brewery's founders. Craft beer fandom’s…
Cornella Brewery Bière de Garde Beer
The Victorian city of Bendigo strives to be a centre of art and culture. Paris: Impressions of Life 1880 – 1925 is an international exhibition currently on show at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Much like 2023's successful Elvis Exhibition, which itself inspired a selection of Graceland-esque brews, the…
Cornella Brewery Electro Dude & Old Town Beer
Cornella Brewery has been experimenting with Nectaron for some time. In late 2021, I wrote about Electro Nectar for the [Bendigo Beer blog](https://bendigobeer.com/cornella-brewery-electro-nectar/) and that was followed by Neutron Nectar in March 2022. **Electro Dude** continues the brewery's romance…
Cornella Brewery Paradise Pine Beer
As I noted while writing about Cornella Brewery's Astro Dude [in November](https://craftypint.com/beer/10207/cornella-brewery-astro-dude), I was disappointed to acknowledge it’d be their final hoppy release of the year, expecting it could be quite a few months before their next IPA. Thankfully, they've…
Cornella Brewery Rancho Cerveza & Sunkissed Beer
Cornella Brewery has firmly slotted the brewhouse’s gearstick into 'S' with this duo of summer releases. But while both are geared towards light refreshment, they're entirely distinct beers. **Rancho Cerveza** may seem like an attempt to surf the wave of locally brewed 'Cervezas' in Australian craft…
Shedshaker Brewing Scotch Ale & New England IPA Beer
With this duo of beers, Castlemaine's Shedshaker Brewing continues its foray into less familiar territory while refining old favourites amongst staunch brewery supporters. In terms of style, they make for an odd pair given ones a rarely seen scotch and the other is a near ubiquitous hazy under the New…
Cornella Brewery Astro Dude Beer
As summer approaches, the team at Cornella Brewery shifts its focus to producing refreshing, easy-drinking beers. As such, Astro Dude signals the last of the brewery's bigger, hop-laden releases for the year. Pale amber with a slight haze, the beer's frothy, slowly dissipating white head leaves beautiful…
