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: 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 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 Wet Hop IPA

In a Nutshell Wet hoppy,hoppy, hoppy. Oi! Oi! Oi!

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 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: (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 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 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 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 Oaty Brown Ale

In a Nutshell A Brown(er) version of our hoppy, Oaty Red Ale 'Blood Oats'.

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 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.

Style Gose

In a nutshell Light, fresh, salty & sour. Easy Gose.

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 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 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 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...
