FUTURE MOUNTAIN BREWING AND BLENDING

At the brewery, you won’t see an IPA or pale ale – instead you’ll find barrel-aged and fermented farmhouse ales, Saisons and fruited sours (using whole fresh fruit from Rayners Orchards in the Yarra Valley). You will also find stouts and dark ales in the cooler months, and limited releases showcasing seasonal ingredients in the spring and autumn.

They utilise 55 ex-wine oak barrels from the Barossa Valley, where they experiment with barrel-fermented and aged sour beer, sometimes maturing in oak for over a year; lending itself to wine-like characteristics and mouthfeel. And whilst they love their experimental barrel program, they are a farmhouse brewery at heart, so their focus is on brewing beers that are clean, balanced and sessionable – just as great farmhouse beer should be.

In 2020, their ‘A Million Stars (Dark Farmhouse Ale)’ was placed in the Top 20 Beers of 2020 in Australia.
