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: 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.

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: (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

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 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 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 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...
