Stone & Wood Jasper Red Ale

TASTING NOTES

Stone & Wood’s unique and distinctive hoppy red ale honours the hinterland village once known as Jasper. A nod to history, the beer celebrates how local residents rallied together to save Jasper Corner, fundraising to buy the village’s iconic building back, securing its shared enjoyment for generations to come. Inspired by the Northern Rivers’ rich red volcanic soil, this beer is flavourful and smooth. The generous additions of Galaxy, Enigma and Mosaic hops erupt in bright fruity flavours and aromas. Medium-bodied, with caramel and toffee notes, Jasper is balanced by a firm bitterness.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Stone & Wood Brewing Company was established in 2008. The three boys – Brad, Jamie and Ross had spent many years working in the beer business. The dream was to quit ‘working for the man’, shed the corporate garbage and get back to basics. As the original brewers of the Northern Rivers, they built their first brewery at the eastern tip of Australia, in a part of the world where people enjoy having a beer when relaxing after catching a wave, catching a band at the pub or just catching up with friends. It’s that sort of place.

DID YOU KNOW?

Stone and Wood acknowledge the reliance they have on their Earth to enable them to produce good beer which inspired them to start their Green Feet program. Green Feet is a company wide program they’ve been working on for a couple of years now. It’s about minimising their footprint on the Earth through striving to not only reduce, reuse and recycle but also exploring innovative practices by reimagining the ecology of brewing.
