Bootleg opened in November 1994.

The majority of our beer is sold here at the brewery. Local bottle shops and restaurants also stock our beer. If customers are interested in buying our beers, give them a mail order form, which are kept behind the bar. Beer can be delivered anywhere in Australia with a minimum purchase of one carton.

There is no right or wrong answer to this question. It is generally the wheat beer as it is an easy drinking beer, light in style and flavour. It all comes down to personal taste and depends on the individual on which beer they prefer.

Approximately every five days, producing up to 100,000 litres per year.

A brew can take between 3 weeks and 3 months to be released. The process prior to fermentation takes approximately twelve hours.

Ale is top fermented and lager is bottom fermented, different yeasts are used for ales and lagers. Wils pils is our only lager, the rest are ales. (Apart from stout).

Ale and lager yeast - the rest is our secret!

Malting is the process of transforming starch content in grains to fermentable sugars. After steeping in water the grain is left to germinate in a warm environment, then it is heated in a process called kilning. This gives more or less colour to the malt therefore affecting the colour and flavour of the beer.

No, it is 50/50 blend of wheat and barley, (both malted).

These beers are bottle fermented hence, not filtered. The cloudiness and sediment is yeast. (Another example of this style of beer you can use is Coopers sparkling and pale ale). Please make sure when wheat or pale ale stubbies are purchased (or gift packs with these beers) that you point out the sediment to the customer and explain it is the style of the beer.

Hops are from Tasmania, Czech Republic, Germany and UK, different hops for different beers. Wheat is all Australian and purchased from the Adelaide Malting company.

1500 litres.

To produce a great beer costs more time and money. A lot of care goes into our beer production. Unfortunately, boutique breweries such as ours are taxed the same as the large commercial breweries in Australia even though our output is nowhere near as large.
