TASTING NOTES

The Original Pacific Ale

The Original Pacific Ale is brewed with big tropical fruit aromas and flavours and pours with a golden haze. Inspired by our home on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Ale truly is summer in a glass.

FOOD PAIRINGS

With its tropical aromas and flavours, Pacific Ale goes perfectly with those foods that remind you of summer. Think fish and chips and fresh seafood. Check out our recipe collection on our blog.

NOTES FROM THE BREWER: CAOLAN VAUGHAN

If you’re enjoying a Pacific Ale from a bottle or can, it’s always good to homogenise the beer before drinking. This motion helps rouse all the yeast and haze so that you end up with that perfect beer. Watch the video on How To Pour Our Pacific Ale.

Perfect for the moments where you come out of the water, sitting down on the beach with some fish and chips and a nice cold beer – match made in heaven.

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.

  • Stone & Wood is the official beer partner of the World Surf League

    We’re stoked to announce that Stone & Wood is the official beer partner for all major World Surf League events in Australia! 🍻

    From the WSL Championship Tour stops at Bells Beach (VIC), Snapper Rocks (QLD), and Margaret River (WA) to the Newcastle Challenger Series and the World Longboard Tour at Bells, we’ll be pouring fresh, cold beers right next to the action.

    But that’s not all. We’re also introducing the Stone  Wood Golden Hour—a sundowner session featuring a specialty heat where surf icons ride alternative boards shaped by local legends. Expect live music, panel talks, epic surf films and giveaways.

    “Coming from Byron Bay, Stone & Wood and surfing have always gone hand in hand. We’ve been part of the local surfing community from the outset and partnering with the WSL gives us the opportunity to take that natural connection to the beach lifestyle to coastal communities right across the country,” said Stone & Wood Head of Strategy  Creative, Paul Tansley.

    The partnership will also be brought to life through broadcast integration, including the ‘Stone & Wood Post Show’ and the ‘Stone & Wood Slow-Mo’, as well as a content series titled ‘Stone & Wood Real Talk’ which will take fans behind the scenes of the competitor’s area and event village. This content will be distributed across WSL and Stone & Wood’s social channels.

    “WSL is thrilled to have Stone & Wood join as the official Beer of WSL Australia from 2025,” said Andrew Stark, WSL APAC President. “They’re a brand that was born at the beach and lives and breathes the coastal lifestyle. That, coupled with their passion and focus on community, makes them a perfect partner for WSL. We look forward to seeing Stone  Wood bring this partnership to life at each of our events around Australia by creating moments and places where we can come together through surfing.”


    We can’t wait to bring good vibes, great beers, and unforgettable moments to the Australian leg of the WSL tour. See you on the sand. 🌊

    ~

    Come join us for a community event for International Women’s Day, where Local creative women and change makers within the community are taking over Stone & Wood.  The event, in its inaugural year, will feature an array of talented women within our community; showcasing live music, an art exhibition, and short films to be enjoyed with a beer brewed especially for the occasion.

     

    Stone & Wood is proud to showcase a selection of talent:

     

    MUSIC:

    The Royal Ratbags

    Darcy Dexter

    SHORT FILMS:

    An array of short films featuring women behind and in front of the lens.


    THE BEER:

    The women of Stone & Wood, with the help of local female creatives featuring in the event, brewed a beer especially for the occasion. In the summer of January 2025, the women all pitched in to put this years’ IWD beer into tank. We’ve brewed a 5.2% Japanese Rice Lager, which we can’t wait to release on event night.


    COMMUNITY SUPPORT:

    For the month of March Stone & Wood Byron will donate $1 per litre of beer sold at the bar to SHIFT Project, a not for profit based in Byron Bay that supports women through the challenges they face moving from homelessness to independence, from welfare to wellbeing.  So be sure to drop into the event, or come have a beer in March to support this incredible cause.
