Brewsvegas Brewer Focus: Aether Brewing

Answered by: Dave Ward - The Brewer

What will make your brew stand out from all of the rest on offer at Brewsvegas? Aether is more than a brewery, beer or bar. Everything we do is about providing an experience for people who drink our beer or visit our venue. We want to take them on a journey, the journey of two guys who risked everything in the pursuit of beer perfection.

Are you making any special brews for the event? We have a number of collaborations at Aether for Brewsvegas as well as some pretty exciting one-off beers including an experimental called The Hop Controller that will be served at Pint Of Origin (QLD) and across our bar for the week.

Why do you think Australians are starting to favour boutique and craft breweries over mainstream beers? Flavour and range aside, engagement and connection with the people and brands that create the beer is what drinkers are seeking. Offshore multinational brands are difficult to relate to. Not so for the large number of amazing breweries in Australia that were started by friends over a few beers.

What kind of food do you think your beer(s) would be best paired with? Our beers match perfectly with shared food and good conversation. Cheese, charcuterie, BBQ, seafood, snacks and of course good times!

What exactly do you think makes a good beer? Passion, high-quality ingredients and a nice, balanced flavour profile are all necessary to make good beer.

When and where can people sample your wares at Brewsvegas? Newstead Brewing Co, Bloodhound Brew and Brisbane Brewing Co all have events with some of our beers, with The Scratch Bar having our collaborative brew Milton Mango, otherwise they will all be available at our brewpub in Milton.
