Woolshed Bloody Eyed Mary

TASTING NOTES

Lethargic and dreary. Bloodshot eyes and a pounding headache… It all seemed like a good idea the night before but now the thought of completing those all-important Sunday jobs makes it even harder to roll out of bed. However, never fear, Woolshed Brewery are here to help with their Bloody Eyed Mary cocktail sour that was originally destined for GABS 202. No garnishes needed here with the beer pouring a burnt orange colour and possessing aromas with a certain sweetness in the form of mild raspberries and a touch of orange. There’s a spice and earthiness there too, from the pepperberry with flavours moving through, some saltiness, peppery spice and a smidgeon of lemon and celery.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

After purchasing a ‘Brewmaster 1000-2E Microbrewery from Australian company Integrated Brewing Solutions in July 2008,the clean up and installation of the old Woolshed began. Woolshed is a zero waste brewery, utilising state of the art designs to use and re-use hot and cold water without the need for excessive heating. Also, with drainage troughs and a holding/settling tank,  all waste water from the brewery is used on their extensive garden.

Woolshed use all of their spent grain to feed their livestock. With further recent upgrades to their solar power, Woolshed are now in excess of 30kw helping to power the brewery and houseboats.
