Attention party people! Mx Cheeks has arrived.

With her bubbly nature and fruity asides, Peachy may seem sweeter than a Kylie float in Mardi Gras, but party guest beware, she also has a refreshing zing that will come at you like a salty slap. Mx Cheeks is from Byron after all.

The brainchild of Counter Culture and Northern Rivers LGBTQIA+ organisation, Queer Family Inc, Peachy is a sassy Bellini sour, that pours sweet layers of peach, mango and apricot puree over a pale and wheat malt, Blue Lake rolled wheat base, rounded out with a lactic sour pitch and ready to roll at 6.69% ABV.

Aiden Gentle (they/them), Managing Director at Queer Family said about Peachy, “Peachy Cheeks is a perfect representation of a queer character, particularly a local queer character. When we were imagining her, she was fun, she was summery, she was local and timely. She’s running down the beach, she wears heels if she wants to. She’s fun, she’s lively, she’s queer.”

Hear ye, hear ye.

Good Knights of the Breakfast Table, we ask: what is thy quest?

Have you come from far and wide in search of something sweet with toasted flavours, a golden nectar so delicious that you could drink it in the morning?

If so, Good Knights, thy quest – you have reached The Holy Grain.

Grab your goblets, Good Knights. Our Honey Toasted Hazy IPA The Holy Grain has delicate layers of honey, vanilla and toasted coconut added to a pale malt, wheat and oat backbone, balanced by Sabro, Galaxy, Citra and HBC472 hops for a wholesome and subtly hazy finish.

From this week, you can commence the small journey to your nearby bottle shop for The Holy Grain 500ml two-packs and cartons or your local venue to taste this sweet, delicious nectar on tap (only a select few).

From today, Good Knights, you can also purchase a two-pack from our official online store ($25 + free shipping) or at our Byron Bay Tasting Room and Brisbane brewery, where our crew is pouring The Holy Grain on tap.

Remember, Good Knights: Call ahead to your local stockist/venue to check when The Holy Grain will arrive.  Like all Counter Culture releases, The Holy Grain is very limited, so make haste!

You’ve made it, Good Knights, and have proven yourselves worthy. Now, enjoy this blessed bier.

Set in a dark 1980s dance club, somewhere unknown. Lights brighten to reveal a stage concealed by velvet purple curtains. Suddenly, the curtains draw back to reveal spotlight on an empty stage. Smoke machines hiss. A tempo starts. A figure dressed in ruffles and leather appears.

Dearly beloved,

We are gathered here today to excite the senses with something wild and fruity.

A delectable berry cream swirl brewed for cats who love dark and dreamy desserts.

Are you a cat who loves dark and dreamy desserts?

Then welcome to the party, baby – and say hello to your host:

The Earl of Swirl, our Berry Cream Sour and the ninth limited Counter Culture release.

Hang onto your neckerchief and lose urself in the rapturous additions of over a 1,000L of blackberry, 400L of raspberry and vanilla bean, which swirl together like the flavours of your sweetest fantasy.

That’s enough berry goodness to fill a hot tub … and the party doesn’t end there.

The Earl of Swirl complements its delectable lactose creaminess with a kick of lactobacillus acidity, balanced together on a pale malt, rolled oat and wheat backbone.

Add this to the beer’s sweet-sour swirl and the risqué 6.9% ABV and u got urself a berry sour made of dreams.

Availability

Clad in silk and a pink feather boa, The Earl of Swirl will leave our brewery on Monday 2 November and make its way to select bottle shops and venues around the country. We’ll release the stockist listing on that Monday, too.
