TASTING NOTES

CLOUDY PALE ALE

Refreshing with tropical, stone fruit aromas and flavours, a smooth mouthfeel and low bitterness and malt, Cloudy has the beautiful golden haze you’ve come to expect from the legends on our brew deck. Sits at an ABV of 5%.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Cloudy’s bold and refreshing flavour sees it pair well with just about any of your pub favourites: try it with your bangas & mash, parmi/parma (don’t @ us), burger and fries or the classic fish and chips. When you’re out of the pub, we also like to use Cloudy to quench the thirst that comes with a good curry.

CLOUDY – THE HISTORY

If you’ve been a long-time fan of our iconic Original Pacific Ale, it might be time to try something different. Introducing Cloudy Pale Ale, Pacific Ale’s big brother, hitting venues and bottle shops this week and doing its job of making the world a bit more delicious.

It comes in a sexy burnt orange can, bottle or fresh from the tap and is perfect for those moments when the sun starts to go down on an epic day and the vibes start to come up. Read more on our blog for the backstory.

THIS BEER IS A FORCE FOR GOOD

Did you know that we donate $1 for every 100L of beer sold to our inGrained Foundation? Through inGrained we support local-level social and environmental organisations who are changing our communities from the ground up. So just by drinking this beer, you’re helping Aus become that little bit gooder.

Love the passionfruit’tiness, bitter and clean after taste.

I enjoyed it, great looking beer, holds up well in the glass, great nose which always helps. An authentic pale ale for me. Good work!

Anna

Always been a big fan of Pacific Ale and Cloud Catcher, Cloudy is just gone next level!

  • Our Pick for the Best Insulated Stubby Holders & Bottles

    Stone & Wood x Pargo

    At Stone & Wood, we’re always keen to work with likeminded brands and organisations. That’s what compelled us to join hands with the legends over at Pargo for a few collaborative products that can be found on our website and in our breweries.

    Our impact on our community and the planet is something we keep central to everything we do, and we’re proud to align ourselves with another B Corp certified organisation that is working towards a future that we want to see realised.

    At Stone & Wood, we provide drinks that are best served ice cold, and Pargo provides ethical water bottles and stubby coolers that perfectly serve that purpose – as a result, our partnership seemed destined to happen. Watch on below for more about how our collaboration contributes to their cause of providing clean water to those in need.

    More About Pargo’s Purpose

    Pargo is in the business of creating high-quality insulated drink bottles, stubby coolers and cups. From every purchase of one of their products, 5% of the proceeds go directly to funding clean water projects in communities in need the world over.

    With 11% of the world’s population living without access to reliable clean water, their work is critically important in preventing disease and improving the livelihoods of the less fortunate around the globe. Their clean water projects—of which they’ve completed 18 at the time of writing—include drilling wells for rural communities in Uganda, and providing filtration systems to communities in the Philippines, Indonesia and Fiji.

    Using the Sawyer water filtration system from Waves 4 Water, communities can enjoy filtered water for years to come. Their design makes it impossible for bacteria or other nasties to pass through, using just the force of gravity to pass water through the filter at a rate of 1 litre per minute. The reusable and washable filter system is super easy to use and becomes a long-term solution for these households—with a lifespan of 4 million litres of water.

    Our Insulated Bottles and Stubby Cooler Collaboration

    We’ve produced several products alongside Pargo which include 2 in Eucalypt Green, a stubby cooler and a 950mL water bottle (both shown below). We’ve also previously produced another stubby cooler, in a BBQ Charcoal colourway.

    All are available to purchase online from our store and in our brewery (pending availability).

    Both the bottle and stubby cooler have double-wall insulation, meaning your drinks will stay cold (or warm if that’s your preference, we won’t judge) for hours to come. The insulated stubby coolers we have on offer will fit both a 375mL can or 330mL bottle, so the choice is yours about how you want to use it!

    Made with a scratch-resistant, matte outer coating from pro-grade stainless steel, they’re built to last. All of our collaborative products are adorned with our logo alongside Pargo’s.

    Our collaboration with Pargo is about more than just great products – it’s about creating a lasting impact. By choosing these insulated bottles and stubby coolers, you’re supporting clean water projects worldwide and investing in durable, sustainable design. Explore the collection online or at our brewery and make a difference with every sip!

  • Don't Spoil The Soil!

     

    Welcome back to our Regenerating Our Backyard series 🌱🍺, where we dive into how the beer in your hand can support a greener future.

    In Episode 3: Don’t Spoil the Soil, we take a closer look at barley—not just the backbone of beer but also a significant contributor to its environmental footprint. By embracing regenerative agriculture, we’re paving the way for a more sustainable brewing industry.

    Through our Good Grain Initiative, launched in partnership with Sustainable Table, we’re proud to support projects that enhance soil health, biodiversity, water quality, and the resilience of farming communities. Since Day One, we’ve aimed to tread lightly on the earth, reducing waste and rethinking energy use—but we know we can do more.

    By collaborating with like-minded farmers, maltsters, and brewers, we’re creating new pathways to sustainability that benefit both the environment and the communities who rely on it.
