Congratulations Lauren Riga, you are coming to Byron next year to brew your ‘Leatherwood Chai Cream Ale’ for the 2019 GABS!
This year at the festival we invited our drinkers to come and touch, taste, smell and explore what goes into our beers, then come up with their dream beer.
We loved Lauren’s entry that balanced earthy flavours with the additions of chai and turmeric spices and leatherwood with a clean refreshing finish. She also added in that proceeds from the beer are to go to marine protection, so we will donate all money from the sale of her beer in the tasting room to a marine focused Aussie not for profit.
We’ll be flying Lauren up to sunny Byron Bay to hang out with the crew, spend a couple of days enjoying the Northern Rivers lifestyle and of course, brew her beer which will be tapped at next year’s GABS!
Congrats, we can’t wait to hang out and make some spiced chai magic!
A massive cheers to everyone that came to our stall at GABS Melbourne and Sydney and got involved in our Brewstorm competition – your enthusiasm for good beer is incredible!
