Winter Beers

When the mornings turn cold in Melbourne the beers we reach for change. Light summer drinking gives way to darker, maltier styles that carry more body and sit better alongside slow cooked food and a warm kitchen. That is what this collection is for, the tins and extracts that make a proper winter brew.

Start with the style you actually want to drink. Coopers Original Stout and Morgans Premium Dockside Stout sit at the roasty, dark end. Coopers Original Dark Ale and Morgans Premium Ironbark Dark Ale are a step lighter but still malty. If you want bitterness rather than roast, look at Coopers English Bitter or Morgans Australian Bitter. For something rounder and easier going, the Chocolate Brown Ale by Mangrove Jacks, Morgans Premium Royal Oak Amber Ale and the Thomas Cooper Family Secret Amber Ale all land in that middle ground. Morgans Australian Old Brew Extract is there if you would rather build a recipe than follow one.

One thing worth knowing. Winter is when most home brewers run into trouble, because a cold garage makes for slow, sluggish fermentation. Keep the fermenter somewhere the temperature stays steady rather than chasing warmth with a heat source at the last minute. A steady spot beats a warm one.

Have a look at brew extract kits, brewing yeast and beer brewing, or come and see us at Laverton North and Epping.
