Lager
Brewer Notes
A light bodied, refreshing, clean lager with a subtle grassy, spicy hop note and crisp finish.
Beer Story
In 1910, during the construction of the Cairns-Kuranda railway, a landslide downed Tunnel 10 and the supply of ale. With brains, brawn, and beer as motivation, workers perilously rolled barrels of brew around a mountain to ensure cheer was served – cheers to that.

Canecutter
Session Lager
Brewer Notes
This Aussie style mid strength lager is light on alcohol but full of flavour. Light and refreshing it’s the refreshing beer you’d want to drink after a day in the cane fields.
Beer Story
Post WW2 an influx of immigrants found work on sugarcane farms. In the sweltering sun the cane cutters worked the fields of sugar cane under brutal conditions. Wielding their cane knife they set a rhythm without complaint. The more they cut, the more dollars they earned. Stopping only for a quick slug of water they pressed on, strengthening an industry which Far North Queensland was built on. Here’s cheers to the unnamed canecutters of our region.

Beer Story
Ellinjaa, Zillie, and Milla Milla falls make up a golden triangle on the waterfalls circuit on the tablelands. These three falls boast stunning beauty and are well worth the short trip up with friends to cool off in the FNQ heat. Here’s cheers to our tropical trio of tranquillity.
