The Coca-Cola Amatil and Casella Family Brands joint venture, the Australian Beer Company (ABCo), is launching a new craft beer range.
The Australian Beer Company was established last December, to build, create and distribute craft and premium beer and cider brands, and the range will be made at the company's new brewery at Yenda, which is near Griffith in the NSW Riverina area.
The new range is also named Yenda, and will include a Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Unfiltered Lager and a mid-strength Ale, and will launch in December.
They will also be previewed at Sydney Craft Beer Week next week, along with a limited edition brew, Stirling Castle, created by the company's brew master Andy Mitchell UK-based IBD International Young Brewer of the Year, Rob Percival, which commemorates the arrival of the first English India Pale Ale in Australia in 1835.
“Stirling Castle, the collaborative brew between our brew master Andy Mitchell and Rob Percival, is just one of the exciting and innovative concepts you’ll see from the Australian Beer Company in the coming months,” says Derek O’Donnell, general manager of Australian Beer Company.
“It’s our goal to produce some of Australia’s best beers and ciders with our core range of superior craft brews, but we also plan to continue pushing the boundaries and exploring new brewing techniques and partnerships like we have with Stirling Castle”.
O’Donnell says Australian Beer Company will work with the best international and domestic brewing leaders who share their passion for innovation and the craft beer industry as a whole.
