Sydney craft brewer, The Australian Brewery, is heading into new territory with its new “Craft Partners” condiments range.

The Rouse Hill brewer kicked off with the launch with its new Chilli Jam, which, according to its maker, is “not as sweet as your standard sweet chilli sauce and a little bit hotter”.

The Craft Partners products are available on site at the Australian Hotel and Brewery and are also being sold at various venues and markets across Sydney for a recommended retail price of $12.99.

The Australian Brewery has also moved into new turf with the launch of its latest seasonal brew, The Saison D’Heretique which is being sold on draught, as well as in cans for the first time.

Crafted with both French & Belgian saison yeasts generating a delicate, light beer, The Saison D’Heretique, is named for Joan of Arc, who was falsely burned as a heretic but later canonised. 

 



Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
