After pouring everyone elses' excellent beers over the last eleven years, we figured it was time to start brewing our own - time to install our own stainless and start walking the walk. So in early 2014 that's what we did; in the form of a Premier Stainless 600L Brewhouse with three single batch fermentors. Just the right size to play; enabling us to brew whatever, however and whenever we want. Light-footed, nimble brewing with the freedom of Contract and the stability of Stainless. From time to time we might even be lucky enough to collaborate with some of those excellent Brewers whose beers we've poured, and will continue to pour, over the years...

Style Dry Hopped Apricot Sour Saison
In a nutshell Spritzy, hoppy, fruity, tight. Stone sour.
For our latest collaboration with Beechworth peddler and long term ally Ben Kraus we showed uncharacteristic restraint, knocking out a Mixed Culture, dry hopped, apricot heavy sour Saison - stone fruity, bright, tangy and dry...
Style: Spiced Brown Ale
in a nutshell: Nutty, spicy, perfumed and rich. Pistachio-d.
Once we started talking with Hawkers Maz about GABS, dessert beers and dodgy alliterations ‘Baklava Brown’ was all but inevitable - having ticked all of those sweet, spicy, nutty little boxes. As with most ‘bright’ ideas, Baklava was easier said than brewed...
STYLE Sour Stout with Raspberries
IN A NUTSHELL Rich, roasty and sour. No Promises. No demands.
A Beer named in honour of a cat named in honour of a rockstar - brewed in memory of a very special Trott.
Why Benatar? Not just because there are so many Dog tributes out there that it’s time to put the Cat back into brewing. Or because love is a battlefied. Above all ‘Benatar’ is a good, solid name that lends herself to a long and varied career; featuring a keg conditioned version for the Handpump (Flat Benatar) and a barrel aged release (Vat Benatar) to name but two...
Style Saison with benefits
In a Nutshell Berry, tart, winelike and dry. Rosé.
By far the trickiest part of our collaboration with Saison-Meister, long term Ally and Tour Down Underer Ben Kraus was coming up with a name for the beer...
Style Kettle Sour Fruit Saison
In a Nutshell Tangy, berry & smooth. The Hills.
The plan was to brew a fresh, delicate farmhouse ale with an old school malt bill — raw and flaked grains that ‘a farmer sweeping out their farm floor at the end of harvest’ might find — using a not-so-traditional kettle souring technique which we’d temper with the addition of whole local Blackberries...
STYLE Gose
IN A NUTSHELL Dry, tart, salty and sour. Nicht-traditionellen.
We’ve taken the traditional German ‘Gose’ - a light, tart, sour Wheat Ale brewed with coriander seeds and salt - and had a spielen.
Style Black Pils
In a Nutshell Herbal, spicy and earthy with a hint of chocolate. Light Black.
Black: or thereabouts, with just a shaft of red when held up to the light.
Pils: most definitely. Lean, herbal, spicy and dry with that telltale strawlike malt character for which Pils is renowned.
Looks like a Stout, drinks like a Pils.
Style Czech Pilsener
In a a Nutshell Bready, spicy, herbal, smooth. Well lagered.

STYLE: Hoppy Brown Ale
IN A NUTSHELL: Malty, nutty, zesty and pungent. Smashable.
Adelaide Roller Derby and the Wheaty go way back; we’ve proudly bankrolled the league since its inception, we host Raw Meat recruitment drives, Team Zebra debriefs, innumerable post-bout shenanigans and harbour a growing collection of Adelady ‘Skate of Origin’ silverware in the Front Bar. We fill our bout day Corporate Box to overflowing and admire Derby’s tight little puns from scaffold seats...The Wheaty loves ADRD.
And now we have the means to do what we’ve wanted to do for years: brew a beer in honour of this fearsome league...
Style Brut IIPA
In a Nutshell Hoppy, spritzy, dry. Gentle giant.
As excellent exponents of dry, heavily-hopped IPAs, first-time Good Beer Wheaty Collaborators Alex (Three Weavers) and Geoff (Buxton Brewery) were keen to brew an iteration of IPA none of us had brewed before; ‘Brut IPA’...
Style California Common/Steam Ale
In a Nutshell Toasty, malty, herbal & smooth. Gold rush.
The task we set for the South Australian Brew Club's Summer Comp was a bastardly one: to tackle a style few had brewed before, even fewer had tasted and of which very few, if any, commercial examples were available to benchmark against - California Common...
Style Passionfruit Gose
In a nutshell Fruity, salty, tart and dry. High Kick.
We've swapped-out Black Lime for Passionfruit in our nicht traditionellen Gose for a less savoury, more playful tipple...

IN A NUTSHELL Fruity, pink-ish, oaky and sour. More Warehouse than Farmhouse.
The adults are in charge...
Style Kettle Sour Saison with Fresh Mango + Lime
In a Nutshell Tropical, zesty, tart and dry. Red, gold and green.
Whereas last year’s COMA collaboration - Rizzocato - was tight, technical and restrained, this year’s brew is a much looser, fruitier, more colourful composition: Mango Sour Saison.
Fresh, tangy and tropical; a lover, not a rival...
Style Double IPA
in a Nutshell Rich, tropical, bracing and bitter. Hop cat.
For the last ten years, Creative Original Music Adelaide (COMA) has been a ‘first and third Monday of the month’ fixture at the Wheaty, clocking-up around 500 performances over the decade.
We figured a Double IPA would fit the bill for COMA’s 10th Birthday brew: big enough to justify the name ‘(COMA)Toes’, complex enough to require attention, smooth enough to soothe any aural memory of pink noise and loaded with enough Nelson flowers to satisfy the most dedicated Hop Cat...
Style London Porter
In a nutshell Chocolatey, biscuity, friendly and full. Cor!
EXCITED would be the only way to describe Graham ‘palate weight’ Wright and Dr Paul ‘that depends’ Gooding once we’d locked in a date for our collaborative brew. Would the Godfathers of Wheaty Whisk(e)y be hell bent on brewing the beer equivalent of a 3 Year Old Cask Strength 300ppm Phenolic Peat Monster?
Not at all, as it turns out...
STYLE Rye Pale
IN A NUTSHELL Spicy, honey, tropical and bitter. Unbroken.
Dependable Corps Promise is a hoppy, spicy and bitter Rye Pale with big tropical hop aromatics and a dry, piney twang to finish.
No Surprises.
STYLE: Red Ale
IN A NUTSHELL: Toffee, citrus and pine needles. Street.
A Hoppy Red Ale featuring the "C" Hops: Cascade, Citra and Chinook.

A big, boozy, sweet and cosy sipper brewed with Good Beer Wheaty Collaborators Deschutes and Lervig - liquid raspberry chocolate brownie...
Style Raspberry Berliner Weisse
In a Nutshell Tangy, tart and revvin'. The need for speed.
As brewers, we like to push the envelope and sometimes our egos write cheques our yeast can't cash. This beer spent a weekend souring in kettle and got treacherously close to the pH danger zone. Fortunately our yeast pushed through - in overdrive...
Style Apple Cider
In a Nutshell Cloudy, funky, delicate and dry. Warehouse.
LOBO Pink Lady apple juice meets a Wheaty Brewing Corps mixed culture ferment in the first of many cidery collaborations between us...
Style: Irish Dry Stout
In a Nutshell: Creamy, roasty and lean. When Irish dries are smiling...
Style Salty Plum Saison
In a Nutshell Salty, spicy, plummy and tart. Blood plum.
To say that the idea for this beer evolved over time is an understatement.

Style ECIPA
In a Nutshell Juicy, smooth and searingly bitter. Brooklyn.
Once we’d locked-in a Good Beer Wheaty brew with Hop Meisters and first-time Collaborators Grant and Dennis (Modus Operandi) and Tom (Fixation) it was only ever going to be a question of what type of IPA we’d brew together.
Ignoring altogether the question of whether or not ‘East Coast IPA’ is in fact a style, we set-out to brew a chewy, juicy, hazy yet dangerously sessionable IPA - at 60 IBUs and a tick under 7% ABV...
STYLE All-New Zealand Red IPA
IN A NUTSHELL Deep malt, toffee and tropical Hops. Well Red.
The plan for our latest collaboration with Gladfield Malt was to brew a big, smooth, malty and aromatic all-New Zealand Red IPA.
We got you...a well toffee, well tropical and well Red ENZeD.
It’s everything, that we imagined.
STYLE Bittersweet Stout
IN A NUTSHELL Creamy, smooth, rich and roasty. More fire. Less ice.
A keg conditioned version of Benatar prepared specially for the Handpump.
Not so much ‘warm and flat’ as lightly chilled and gently carbonated, Flat Benatar pours creamier, sweeter and smoother than her predecessor. More vinyl than cassette...
Style Berry Table Beer
In a Nutshell For our latest collaboration with blackberry peddler and long term ally Ben Kraus, we've cut loose with a Mixed Culture, Mixed Berry Table Beer - Berry, tight, winelike and dry...
Style Foreign Extra Stout
In a Nutshell Roasty, creamy and full. Rum, Raisin and the lash.
A straight-up, old fashioned restorative Stout that we brewed with old friend and long term Wheaty ally Sophie Otton.
Style Hibiscus Pale
In a nutshell We teamed up with the roguish crew from Fritz Magazine to brew a 'Fritz inspired' beer - more in the spirit of shits & giggles than earlobes & elbows...
STYLE Oat Pale Ale
IN A NUTSHELL Oaty, piney and smooth. Very unique selling point.
For our second extraordinary Good Beer Wheaty Yeastie 2014 spooning (collaboration), we cosied up to To Øl Tobias, Sixpoint Shane (from afar) and Yeastie Boy ‘Head Spooner’ Stu. Our mission: Hoppy.
Shane: Galaxy Galaxy Galaxy!
Tobias: Oats
Stu: Fug Oats!
Style Mixed Culture India Saison
In a Nutshell Bugs and hops and spice. Incubated.
Despite its name, Fixation’s Collingwood brew pub ‘The Incubator’ is a squeaky clean, pure culture Brewery so little wonder Tom and Sam jumped at the opportunity to play with wild yeast and bugs - especially given that we’d be doing all the dirty work in Thebarton...
And we had good dirty to work with
Style Golden Ale
In a Nutshell Fresh, smooth, sweet and easy. It's been nice.
Golden Ale is the Yacht Rock of the craft beer world.
Smooth, mellow, middle of the road. Polished, balanced and safe. So wrong, yet so so right...
Style Wet Hop IPA
In a Nutshell Wet hoppy,hoppy, hoppy. Oi! Oi! Oi!
In a bid to celebrate this year’s Hop Harvest and ‘close the gap between paddock and pint’ Hop Products Australia released a clutch of green Oz hops - the freshest hops possible - straight off the bine. With wet, fresh Hops available to us we jumped at the opportunity to play...

In a Nutshell Pine, lime, resin. Pine, lime, resin.
An appropriately resinous collaboration with Aaron 'Here For the Hops' Caruana...
Style Kettle Sour Mixed Berry Saison
In a nutshell Tangy, berry and smooth. The Hills.
A mixed berry version of our Lacto-innoculated Kettle Sour Saison. The plan was to brew a fresh, delicate farmhouse ale with an old school malt bill — raw and flaked grains that ‘a farmer sweeping out their farm floor at the end of harvest’ might find — using a not-so-traditional kettle souring technique which we’d temper with the addition of local honey and whole local berries...
Style Fresh Hop IPA
In a nutshell Hazy, fruity, juicy and bitter
Our latest IPA collaboration with long-term Wheaty Ally Aaron Caruana..
Style Helles
In a nutshell delicate, pale, smooth and malty. technisch.
The task we set for the latest SA Brew Club’s Summer Comp was another bastardly one: Munich Helles. Essentially, Helles is a Bavarian quaffer; a tight, light and clean golden Lager. In brewing terms this translates to ‘nowhere to hide’. Easier said than done...
Style Baltic Porter with Honey
In a Nutshell Full, smooth, chocolate and honeycomb. Ligurian.
We were keen to brew something Big and Dark with Mornington Peninsula Brewery given how well they do both, and brewing with Honey was an itch neither of us had scratched. Enter Honey Baltic Porter...
Style Hoppy Coffee Sour
In a Nutshell Jaffa
For our latest collaboration with coffee-fiend and Tour Down Underer Ben Kraus we decided to take a perfectly good IPA and ruin it. Twice.
By ‘ruin’, we mean sour and caffeinate it — to surprisingly delicious effect...
Style White Stout
In a Nutshell Sweet coffee, roast, vanilla & milk. Worth crying over.
In the same way that ‘White Chocolate’ isn’t Chocolate, ‘White Stout’ isn’t Stout – which made it the perfect beer to brew with Collaborators Scott & Jimmy (Hobart Brewing Co), Will (Van Dieman Brewing) and Rich (Black & Brew Coffee), inspired as it was by stories of tasting one beer while describing it as another...
Style Session India Saison
IN A NUTSHELL Pine, lime, spice. Aromatic and lean.
As a major sponsor of the Australian National Homebrewing Conference 2016 the Wheaty was charged with brewing the official ANHC 5 beer; it had to be (1) interesting yet quaffable (2) a style we hadn’t brewed before and (3) ideally something that tied-in with the themes of the Conference. Enter ‘Indy’ - combining the Malt profile and fermentation characters of a dry French Saison with the Hop charge of a New World (India)Pale...
Style Foreign Extra Stout
In a Nutshell Roasty, creamy and full. Rum, raisin and the lash.
The Community Cup, a much adored charity football match held annually in Melbourne and Sydney that pits Musicians against Media to raise money for Reclink*, is coming to Adelaide for the third year running. As inaugural sponsors of the Adelaide Anchors media team, we naturally sought to give our favourite Journos an unfair advantage over the Muso Rockatoos by brewing a beer in their honour: Ink Slinger Stout...
STYLE: (India) Pale Ale
IN A NUTSHELL: Tropical, wine-like, dry and bitey. It figures.
The plan with Irony was to brew a lighter, drier, more delicate ale than Team Australia; one that straddled the Pale/IPA divide and was a little less shouty with Hops...
Style: Kettle Sour Saison
In a Nutshell: Spicy, aromatic, tart & dry. More tang than pucker.
A kettle-soured, Lacto innoculated, weekend-long collaboration with (then) Moo Brewer Scott Overdorf...
Style Kölsch
In a Nutshell Clean, fresh and German. Delikat.
Lightly fruity, lagery and lean. A proper Rasenmäher beer...
Style Mini Vienna Pils
In a Nutshell Little, long and lean. Bready, herbal, clean...Dogged little Pils.
A beer named after a (sausage) dog named after a sausage - inspired by the use of Vienna (Weyermann Wiener) as a base Malt and our decision to breed this Pils long, lean and low.
Lots of character in a small frame was the idea...
Style Rye Bread Beer
In a Nutshell Spicy, doughy, tart. Sourdough
A literal liquid bread brewed with Grain Fiends Em and Chris of Langhorne Creek's Small World Bakery..
Style: English Pale Ale
In a nutshell: Fresh, biscuity and snappy. Marmalade.
Hot on the heels of his legendary ‘Auld Bulgin’ Boysterous Bicep’ brew with Murray’s, what wacked-out style-bending logistical nightmare of a beer would James ‘Crafty Pint’ Smith challenge us to brew with him for the first official Cabale Collaboration?
Style All-Oz Hop Flower IPA
In a Nutshell An all-Flower version of Team Australia IPA
In the complex and often confusing world of Goodies and Baddies, we all need a little Joint Purpose, a single Team that everyone can get behind...
Enter ‘Leafy Team Oz’, our first all OZ Hop Flower IPA...
Style Indigo Ale
In a Nutshell Indigo, floral and disconcerting. Literal Litmus.
For our fourth year hosting Pint of Science - an International festival bringing science out of the Lab and in to the Local - we figured it was high time to lay down a collaboration brew with the PoS crew, and help bring a Pint to the Science. The plan was to brew a beer that would both mess with your mind and encourage you to play with your beer...
Style Session East Coast IPA
IN A NUTSHELL Juicy, creamy and smooth. Hops and glory.
The task we set for the latest SA Brew Club’s Summer Comp was significantly broader and less bastardly than the last: to brew a ‘Session IPA’, ie any style of IPA as long as it clocked no more than 5% ABV and was identifiably IPA. Kieren Vercoe brewed two cracker Session East Coast IPAs to take out the prize: the opportunity to brew a scaled-up version of his beer on the Wheaty Brewing Corps’ kit...
Style Dunkel Kveik
Nutshell Malty, chocolatey, smooth. Quick and dark.
Our latest COMA collaboration - a Munich Dunkel malt bill fermented hot and fast with Kveik, the Norwegian Farmhouse 'super yeast'.
Play it Kveikly...
STYLE Dark Ale
IN A NUTSHELL Roasty, herbal and dry. About face.
From the outset, Marching Orders decided to break rank and pursue a direction all of it’s own; resulting in a beer quite different to that which was intended, but very tasty nontheless. More dunkel than schwarz in colour, more dry than malty in body and more fruity than clean in aroma; Marching Orders has re-emerged as a Dark Ale with big herbal hop character and a dry, bitter finish.
Style Hoppy Table Beer
In a Nutshell Hoppy, tart and dry. Wild Flower, mild funk.
It was time to go deep into the Wild with bug wrangler, barrel whisperer and blender extraordinaire Topher Boehm of Wildflower Brewing, intentionally pitching bugs into fermentor for the first time in our very clean, very controlled history...
Style Milk Oat Stout
In A Nutshell Milky, Oaty, Roasty. Sweet nourishment.
We were keen to brew a Sweet Stout and couldn’t decide between a Milk or an Oatmeal style - so we thought: why not both?
Style: Märzen
In a Nutshell: Mellow, bready, smooth and herbal. Lager.
A fresh, clean, nuanced Lager named in honour of Wheaty Brewing Corps' new recruit Laura 'totally got this' Mirsch.
Style Mussel Red
In a Nutshell Malty, salty, toffee and smooth. Come what may.
The plan for our Good Beer Wheaty collaboration with Gabi (Gladfield Malt) and Doc (Doctor’s Orders) was to brew a rich Red Ale showcasing Gladfield Malt and their distinctive Aurora, Supernova and Shepherd’s Delight malts in particular. Doc being Doc was keen on a Salty twist and the opportunity for a cheesy pun determined the direction of that twist – shellfish – and sealed the fate of 7kg of Boston Bay Mussels...
Style Oaty Brown Ale
In a Nutshell A Brown(er) version of our hoppy, Oaty Red Ale 'Blood Oats'.
STYLE IPA
IN A NUTSHELL Big, spicy, tropical and bitter. Broken.
For the last few years we’ve been telling you that Corps Promise was ‘the one beer we will never alter. The one recipe we will never tweak.’ We have decided, retrospectively, that our committment to ‘never alter’ Corps Promise was itself a non-core promise and so doesn’t count - especially under extenuating circumstances...
Style Dry Hopped Sour
In a Nutshell Hoppy, aromatic, tart and dry. Philly smashable.
For our first proper hoppy sour, we played with Lallemand's new 'Philly Sour' Yeast and plenty of whirlpool and fermentor hop additions...
Style: Dry-Hopped Saison
In a nutshell Fruity, spicy, aromatic and lean. Spring with a sting.
Bright, fresh and easy, the Picnic Assassin can lure you into a false sense of security...
Style Hibiscus Saison
In a Nutshell A pinked-up, Hibiscus Flower-infused version of Picnic Assassin
Bright, fresh and easy, the Pinknic Assassin can lull you into a false sense of security...
STYLE: MEXICAN STOUT
IN A NUTSHELL: Chocolate, deep spice, smoke and roast. Molé
A Molé-inspired  Mexican Stout - spicy, smoky, rich and roasty – ‘dry-hotted’ with the Holy trinity of Mole chillies: ancho, guajillo and habanero along with camionadas of cacao nibs, vanilla and cinnamon.
Style Quandong Saison
In a Nutshell Tangy, savoury and dry. Wild Peach
The Bruery added some of their bugs to our ever-evolving, in-house Mixed Culture 'The Menace' for our Good Beer Wheaty Collaboration featuring the Desert Quandong aka Wild Peach...
STYLE Smoked Anchovy Porter
IN A NUTSHELL Smoky, salty and malty. Hint of fish.
The first of our extraordinary Good Beer Wheaty Yeastie 2014 collaborations and the first ever brew to roll out of the Wheaty Brewing Corps barracks; fitting then that we should ‘spoon’ with old friends Yeastie Boy Stu and Birra del Borgo Leo and willing recruit Magic Rock Stu. And that we brew with our favourite ingredient, Anchovy...
Style Hoppy, Oaty Red Ale
In a Nutshell Pine, lime & toffee. Allez!
For the past couple of years, The Wheaty has sponsored Vertical Reality Climbing and the SA Sport Climbing Series by offering liquid incentive to crimp, crush and flash unlikely ‘problems’ on improbable plastic. This year, we teamed up with VRC to brew a post-series restorative...
Style Rye India Pale La(r)ger
In a Nutshell Spicy, clean, sharp and bitter. Unfiltered Lager.
India Pale Lagers take the pursuit of cleaner and drier ale ferments to their logical conclusion...
Style Rice Lager
In a nutshell Clean, crisp and snappy. Lightning
A clean-snap riff on our 2017 COMA collaboration ‘Rizzocato’; a subtle, restrained and technically demanding Rice Lager.
Style Rice Lager
In a Nutshell Clean, crisp, tight and technical. Plucky.
Whereas our last COMA collaboration - (COMA)Toes DIPA - was a veritable wall of sound, this year’s brew is a far more subtle, restrained and technically demanding undertaking: Rice Lager.
Difficult to brew yet easy to drink: a Lawnmower beer for Jazz hands...
Style Bock
In a Nutshell Creamy, bready, rich. Red overalls
An all-Weyermann collaboration with Cryer Malt's Tom Madams every bit as smoky as the Overalls that inspired it...
Style Russian Imperial Stout with Tea
In a nutshell Roasty, smoky, tobacco & rum. Deep tea.
It was always going to be fun nutting out a collaboration with Cavalier ‘we’re open to literally anything’ Brewing. Unsurprisingly, Cavalier needed little arm twisting to tackle a beer idea we'd had steeping for some time; a Russian Imperial Stout infused with Lapsang Souchong tea leaves - rich, savoury and smoky...
Style Rye Ale
In a Nutshell Smooth, spicy, mild. Easy Ryelet.
A little mild ale with a big Rye body.
Style Rye Stout
In a Nutshell Spicy, roasty, smooth and full. Destined for the Barrel...
Aaron was keen to brew something he would get the opportunity to try when he was back in town for his annual visit, a full year later. So we brewed a split batch Rye Stout; half destined for stainless, the other half for Winter barrel aging to become 'Whisk(e)y & Rye' - ready to roll out December 2016...
Style Rye IPA
In a Nutshell Spicy, bitter, grapefruit-pith. Our turn.
The return leg of our collaboration with Bierhaus Al - two years after our original brew with him up at Lobethal.
Essentailly, Ryewaka is a beer designed around a cheesy pun...
Style Brown Porter
In a Nutshell Malty, chocolatey, jammy and tart. Blood Plum.
Satsuma is the queen of Plums. Dark red, fleshy, sweet and tart; jammy and sharp. A perfect candidate for Berliner Weisse. Though we decided to pair it with something altogether darker...
Style Barleywine
in a Nutshell Big, boozy Barleywine of DIPA Hop proportions - to which we added Wirra Wirra Sauv Blanc juice in the Fermentor...
Complex
Style Berliner Weisse
In a Nutshell Creamy, doughy, sharp and sour. Dirty.
A Lacto-innoculated, kettle-soured Berliner Weisse.
Style Farmhouse IIPA
In a Nutshell Orange, hops, spice and booze. Highball
Given that we’d landed a 5kg brick of Belma Hop Hash from HopCo Jon and that our Good Beer Wheaty Collaborators Søren (8 Wired) and Juan (Naparbier) had never played with Hop Hash before – and were more than a little partial to Humulus Lupulus – the decision to brew a Hash SMASH IIPA was a relative no-brainer...
Style Brown Porter
In a Nutshell A rich, roasty and retro Porter first brewed for the Maritime Museum of SA - with lashings of Black Strap Molasses...
STYLE German(ish) Pils
IN A NUTSHELL Strawlike, herbal and dry. Tell me why.
Once we established that the beer we’d be brewing with good friend and long term ally Dave Bonighton was a golden, hoppy German Pils; Sir Bob ‘Gelbhopf’ - ‘Gold Hop’ auf Deutsch - pretty much named himself...
Style Dry Hopped Pils
In a nutshell Strawlike, herbal and dry. Tell me why.
A Dry Hopped version of our Pils, featuring the new experimental 'super Saaz' hop variety Zudistamm...
Style German(ish) Pils
In a nutshell Strawlike, herbal and dry. Tell me why.
A simple beer brewed with a complex Goat that we enjoyed so much we’ve made him part of our regular line-up. With Dave’s blessing we’ll brew Bob often, but as a continully evolving Bob; using different Malt, adjusting the Hop profile, playing with ferments all while keeping him identifiably Gelbhopf. This Bob's made with 100% Gladfield Malt (NZ)
Style German(ish) Pils
In a nutshell Strawlike, herbal and dry. Tell me why.
A simple beer brewed with a complex Goat that we enjoyed so much we’ve made him part of our regular line-up. With Dave’s blessing we’ll brew Bob often, but as a continully evolving Bob; using different Malt, adjusting the Hop profile, playing with ferments all while keeping him identifiably Gelbhopf. This Bob's made with 100% Weyermann Malt (GER)
Style Brown Porter
In a nutshell Malty, mellow, smooth and warming. Goblet.
Given that our Tawny Porter was intended to showcase Gladfield malt, we figured it was only right to develop the recipe in conjunction with the legendary new Zealand micro-Maltsters themselves - and so we did...
Style All OZ-Hop IPA
In a Nutshell Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy! Oi! Oi! Oi!
In the complex and often confusing world of Goodies and Baddies, we all need a little Joint Purpose, a single Team that everyone can get behind....
Enter 'Team Australia', our first of many IPAs bursting with homegrown Hops.
STYLE Russian Imperial Stout
IN A NUTSHELL Decadent, rich and far from over...
Style Golden Ale
In a nutshell Smooth, bright and breezy. Easy listening.
If Thebarton was Yacht Rock...
Style Bitter
In a Nutshell 5031. Best End.
We figured it was time to celebrate our light industrial suburb with a not-so-industrial Bitter. A hoppy, malty, bitey, bitter ale weighing in at a modest 3.7% booze. A heritage listed style brewed in the shadow of Mt Thebarton, within earshot of Thebby Theatre and a mere stones throw from our self-titled Tram Stop...
Style Black IPA
In a Nutshell Pine needles, citrus, mellow roast. Misnomer.
Sharp, lean and clean, our first Black India Pale Ale adopts the ‘looks like a Dark Ale, smells and tastes like an IPA’ rather than the ‘chewy Black Ale hopped as if it was an IPA’ approach. In other words, both the Malt and the Hop character of the beer belie its appearance...
Style Barrel aged Warehouse Ale featuring The Dirty Three: Brett, Lacto and Pedio...
In a Nutshell Fruity, oaky, tart & bright. Horse stories.
The Dirty Three turned out to be a princess.
By far the most high maintenence beer we’d tackled over the short history of the Brewing Corps, The Dirty Three took almost all of that history to come to fruition...
STYLE Gin Wit
IN A NUTSHELL Aromatic, spicy and dry. Drink Wit gin.
We blame the Yeastie Boy. And Doc.
The third of our Good Beer Wheaty Yeastie 2014 ‘Spoonings’ is a credibility-bending brew with the Yeastie Boys and Doctor’s Orders that involved putting things in beer that don’t belong there, to make a beer to add to drinks that don’t belong in beer...
Style Rosewater & Chamomile Tripel
In a Nutshell Spicy, aromatic, herbal and dry. Original Capital.
Hawker's Maz: Let's brew a Rosewater Tripel
Hawker's John: With chamomile.
Wheaty: Tripoli!
Balance was the key here. We were gunning for a complex yet delicate Tripel; one that would bely its strength and avoid becoming a cloying, perfumy mess...
Style: Hazy Triticale Pale
In a Nutshell: Hoppy, hazy, fruity. Tipping point
For the return leg of our Tallboy & Moose Brew Pub exchange, we wanted to play with ‘new stuff’ without straying too far from our original collaboration. That ‘new stuff’ came in the from of Triticale - a Wheat/Rye hybrid grain seldom used in Brewing and which neither of us had brewed with before...
Style Single Hop Pale Ale
In a Nutshell Single Hop Pale featuring Australian experimantal hop variety HPA 016
Style Single Hop Pale
In a Nutshell Single Hop Pale featuring Australian experimental Hop variety HPA 033

Style Orange & Fennel Table Beer
In a nutshell Savoury, spicy, zesty and dry. Puddy Tat.
We had been talking with Two Birds Jayne about brewing together in general – and with orange and fennel in particular – since before the Wheaty had a Brewery. In October 2017, Two Birds Wilson headed to Thebarton to help put our Mash Tun where our mouth was and finally brew that beer...
Style Red Ale
In a Nutshell Spicy, malty, rich and full. Brew like a Girl.
On March 8th this year the Wheaty Brewing Corps collaborated with more than 100 Breweries from around the World on an International Women’s Day brew; Unite Red Ale. In the spirit of collaboration, we were joined on Brewday by Adelaide Roller Derby legends Bride of Skatan, Vaderella & DeBoate, who relished the opportunity to wield mash paddles and hydration collars for a cause...
Style Vienna Pils
In a Nutshell Toasty, aromatic and lean. Matter of fact we've got it now...
Once we’d locked in Victory Brewing’s Bill 'never neglect your thirst' Covaleski and Beavertown’s Logan 'love & care for your beer' Plant for our second Good Beer Wheaty 2015 collaboration brew, Victory Beaver pretty much named herself. And she pretty much designed herself too...
Style Wet Hop Vienna Pale Ale
In a Nutshell Lean, spicy and resinous. Scharf.
The idea with Vienna Pale, our second Wet Hop Ale, was to showcase the new experimental hop variety HPA 035, a hop so new it didn’t even have a name...
STYLE Gose with Watermelon & Lime
IN A NUTSHELL Limey, dry, salty and tart. Sortamelon.
We’ve taken the traditional German ‘Gose’ — a light, tart, sour Wheat Ale brewed with coriander seeds and salt — and had (even more of) a spielen.
Style Breakfast Stout
In a Nutshell Roasty, oaty, smooth & nourishing. Vim & Vigour.
Our plan with Wheaty-Bix was to brew the Breakfast Stout equivalent of cold drip filtered coffee; clean, lean and delicate on the one hand with a clear intensity of coffee character on the other...
Style Wheaty
In a Nutshell Light, delicate, aromatic and dry. Wheaty.
It had to be done. It was high time we brewed our namesake - Wheaty style.
Delicate, bright and clean. Just like us...
Style Blackberry Milk Porter
In a nutshell Our Good Beer Wheaty 2018 collaboration with Tiny Rebel and Doctor's Orders - an outrageously decadent take on Stay Puft. Chocolate Port...
Style Whisky Barrel Aged Breakfast Stout
IN A NUTSHELL Roasty, oaky, smooth & nourishing. Vim and vigour.
Our friends at Iniquity Singe Malt Whisky lent us a French Oak Port barrel that had held Whisky for eight years, and in the firm belief that nothing improves Breakfast quite like Whisk(e)y, we promptly filled it with 100L of Wheaty-Bix...
STYLE Imperial Milk Stout
IN A NUTSHELL Rich, roasty & decadent. Big warm hug.
For some time now we've wanted to brew a big beer with a big Bogan. Late last year we were lucky enough to catch John 'all about the Malt' Bogan between Breweries and lay down a Milk Stout collaboration; 'rich, sweet and tongue coating - warm like a big hug' was our intention...
Style Belgian Wit + Lemon Myrtle
In a Nutshell Creamy, zesty, herbal. Lemon Myrtle
A trademark Wit was the go for our collaboration with legendary string quartet and long time Wheaty allies Zephyr Quartet to help celebrate their 20th Anniversary.
In addition to the (traditional) use of coriander seeds and fresh orange peel in Whirpool, we dry-leafed with Australian native ‘queen of the lemon herbs’ Lemon Myrtle - dosing the fermentor for an intensely fragrant lemon zing and just a hint of menthol...
Style Munich Dunkel
In a Nutshell Dark, malty, herbal & smooth. Nicht so traditionell.
To say that collaborating with the oldest continuously brewing Brewery in the world was an honour is somewhat of an understatement. Weihenstephaner Braumeister Tobias Zollo is not only one of the best technical Brewers on the planet, crucially for us, he’s also a good sport. So with 978 years Brewing experience between us, we set about having ein bisschen bier Spaß...
Style East Coast IPA
In a nutshell Juicy, fruity and smooth. Hops Oats Yeast.
Legendary Yeastman Chris White (White Labs) brought proper yeast expertise to the collaboration table for the second rendition of our Modus Operandi/Fixation Brewing East Coast IPA...
