Brewsvegas Brewer Focus: Stone & Wood Brewing

Answered by: Jasmin Daly - Creative & Community Manager

What will make your brew stand out from all of the rest on offer at Brewsvegas? We brew approachable, sessionable handcrafted beers that are simply good to drink, using quality ingredients. They reflect the laid-back lifestyle of the Northern Rivers, which is just over the border (an hour south of Brissy).

Are you making any special brews for the event? In addition to beers that are available year round, we'll also have a special Pilot Batch brewed especially for Brewsvegas. To suit the QLD climate, we've brewed a Berliner Weisse with tropical fruits pineapple and guava.

Why do you think Australians are starting to favour boutique and craft breweries over mainstream beers? I believe there are two reasons. Firstly, it is about the quality and consistency of beer that isn't mass-produced and is brewed by brewers, using quality ingredients; people are done with flavourless, watery beer. Secondly, Australians are seeking out local, independent producers and makers.

What kind of food do you think your beer(s) would be best paired with? The variety you can find within our range of beers lends itself to a diverse array of pairing options. For us it's more about pairing our food with fresh, organic, locally sourced ingredients. With our Pacific Ale, you really can't go past fresh seafood.

What exactly do you think makes a good beer? It make you want another! Quality ingredients, approachability and love.
