The new brew, available on-tap and in cans, features exclusive artwork designed and drawn by Love and Chaos owner, Scott Menzies. The eye-catching, custom design that matches the refreshing, malty sweetness of the mid-strength Helles Lager.

“It was an honour to be a part of this collaboration,” said Menzies.

“To be able to combine my passion for art, with the work of the Three Tails team and their craftsmanship and attention-to-detail, was an exciting opportunity – and the beer itself tastes great! It’s always a pleasure to work with such a great bunch of guys.”

Love and Chaos is the latest in a series of Mudgee-based collaboration beers for Three Tails. Last year, the brewery released Mudgee Mochaccino with Acreage Coffee and local chocolatiers, Spencer Cocoa, and Two Worlds Collide #2, in partnership with Logan Wines.

Three Tails Brewery co-owner, Mick Ash, said Love and Chaos is a one-of-a-kind beer, pairing the company’s classic brew with a custom design that perfectly captures the refreshing vibe.

“This partnership gave us an opportunity to explore the connection between tattooing and brewing – both are art forms in their own right, with strong histories of craftsmanship and creativity, so this was a great chance to showcase our shared skill sets,” said Ash.

“The result is a beer that celebrates the traditions of brewing and the artistic spirit of tattooing – it’s a fantastic fusion of Mudgee’s creative scene.”

Love and Chaos is available on-tap and in cans at Three Tails Brewery and other Three Tails stockists across Central West NSW.
