Style Anchovy IPA

In a Nutshell Anchovied & (The)Burtonised English IPA

The fourth instalment of our 'Anchovy Series' with Birra del Borgo's Leo de Vincenzo and Nomad's Brooks Carretta...

Style Anchovy Black Gose

In a Nutshell Limey, dry, salty and sour. Sportivo bere.

The third in our 'Anchovy Series' with Birra del Borgo's Leo di Vincenzo.

Anchovy is the future...

Style Blood Orange Amber

In a Nutshell Citrus, toffee & zing. Aperitif.

For some years now, 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. For the second year running, we teamed up with VRC to brew a post-series restorative...

Style Manuka Smoked Chipotle Black IPA

In a Nutshell Smoke, roast, hops and heat. Riot police.

Our annual Good Beer Wheaty collaboration with Darren 'Doc' Robinson that will take your breath away...

Style Berliner Weisse mit Apfel saft

In a nutshell Creamy, doughy, sharp and sour. Apfel.

A Lacto innoculated, kettle-soured, Pink Lady apple juice infused Berliner Weisse. 

Our friends at Lobo Cider swung us some “free run Adelaide Hills Pink Lady apple juice, unfiltered, full flavoured with a good solid balance” that we added to Secondary...

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 Blue Ale

In a nutshell Blue, floral and Bookish. Brew like a girl.

Our plan for the 2016 International Women's Collaboration Brew Day was to brew a beer the same colour as this year's logo...

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 Single Hop (Flower) IPA

In a Nutshell All Tassie 'Cascade' Hop Flower IPA: all Flower, all Cascade

Fresh, delicate, Cascady. Heavy work for a delicate IPA...

STYLE Barrel Aged Wheat Ale

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!

STYLE: Red Ale

IN A NUTSHELL: Toffee, citrus and pine needles. Street.

A Hoppy Red Ale featuring the "C" Hops: Cascade, Citra and Chinook.

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.

From Table Beer to Session Gose, Imperial Belgian Table Gose to Salty Plum Saison, Saladitos kept us on our toes  from the start - perfectly fitting for our third annual Good Beer Wheaty collaboration with Darren ‘Doc’ Robinson and first ever brew with Liberty Joe...

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 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 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 IPA

In a Nutshell Pine, lime, resin. Pine, lime, resin.

An appropriately resinous collaboration with Aaron 'Here For the Hops' Caruana...

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 Kölsch

In a Nutshell Clean, fresh and German. Delikat.

Lightly fruity, lagery and lean. A proper Rasenmäher beer...

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 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 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: 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: 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

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!

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, 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 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 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 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.

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 Golden Ale

In a nutshell Smooth, bright and breezy. Easy listening.

If Thebarton was Yacht Rock...

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 Single Hop Pale

In a Nutshell Single Hop Pale featuring New Zealand experimental Hop variety HORT 4337

Style Single Hop Pale

In a Nutshell Single Hop Pale featuring New Zealand experimental Hop variety HORT 9909

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.

Style Vienna Pils

In a Nutshell Toasty, aromatic and lean. Matter of fact we've got it now...

Style Wet Hop Vienna Pale Ale

In a Nutshell Lean, spicy and resinous. Scharf.

Style Wheaty

In a Nutshell Light, delicate, aromatic and dry. Wheaty.

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 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...
