25.01.2022 Sneak peak of our Dry Hopped Wild Ale tonight only! We've been mucking around with some non-Saccharomyces ferments recently and this strain of Lachancea has produced a refreshingly tart and hoppy sour. Prefect for these warmer spring days. Dry hopped with HORT-4337 there's some great tropical and stone fruit hop character coming through.... . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #keepinglocalalive #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #wildale #sourbeer #dryhopped #taproom #nzhops @hopcoptyltd See more

24.01.2022 Can't beat the textures and juicy flavours of @flavourtheoryau 's Thai Hawker food backed up by a schooner (or 2) of our fresh hazy pale. They're here all weekend!

Also, if you haven't made it in to try our Double blueberry sour, make sure you treat yourself this weekend ... . . . #bracketbrewing #flavourtheoryau #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #taproom #keepinglocalalive #sourbeer #hazybeer #hazy #hazyipa #newenglandipa #neipa See more

21.01.2022 Preparing for our first canning run with East Coast Canning Been a busy week here brewing, finalising artwork and (very) slowly bringing our website up to speed. We've got some beers we're really excited to share with you all. Be it in person at the taproom or by distance in can (we're working on getting the webstore up an running ASAP). ... We'll be putting out more info on what we're canning over the next few weeks.

20.01.2022 Who are we? Probably a question we should've answered a while ago. Mark & Mike, Father & Son, Assistant & Head Brewer, spin it whichever way you like. It's been a bloody long journey from signing our lease back in April 2019 to opening the doors late August this year. We encountered many of the same hurdles other breweries and small businesses have had recently. For all those still struggling, hang in there, it can only get better, right? ... Don't get me wrong there is still heaps to do, but nothing that's stopping us producing beers we're increasingly proud of with each batch. We couldn't be more chuffed to finally have you guys in the taproom enjoying our brews. Cheers . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #taproom #keepinglocalalive #thankgoditsfriday #maibock #bock #eastcoastipa #hazy #neipa #ipa #alexandria #familyowned #fatherandson

18.01.2022 This Hazy IPA is a relatively new beer in our line-up. We prefer a little less residual sweetness in our NEIPA's, but we still love the juicy mouth feel. So back in January we started working on this series of IPA's, fine-tuning the malt base, water profile and hopping schedule. For V2.0 of our Hazy IPA we managed to get our hands on Motueka and Nelson Sauvin hops through @hopcoptyltd, so we thought we'd make ourselves a Hazy IPA, showcasing the best of Kiwi Hops rounded ou...t by a healthy addition of Mosaic. Fresh tropical fruits, crushed citrus and Nelson Sauvin's characteristic white wine/gooseberry. On tap and in can at the brewery from Thursday. Webstore going live Friday at 11am. . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #craftbeer #hazybeer #hazy #hazyipa #newenglandipa #neipa #nzhops #motueka #nelsonsauvin #mosaichops #keepinglocalalive #supportyourlocalbrewery #taproom #webstore

18.01.2022 Few new beers coming up for you all this Thursday! This is our new East Coast Hazy IPA, it's our sweetest, maltiest hazy IPA to date (V5.0) features a huge addition of Trident into a low-temp whirlpool. This has imparted a strong base tropical hop character which we further built upon with heaps of Mosaic & Citra. We get sweet juicy tropical fruits, mango icy poles and passionfruit. Your milage may vary.... Let's keep summer rolling . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #craftbeer #hazyipa #hazybeer #hazy #neipa #newenglandipa #keepinglocalalive #supportyourlocalbrewery

17.01.2022 Getting these little fellas sparkling for tomorrow! This 10hl batch will be split between our 4 pilot fermenters to test various pitch rates and fermentation temperatures for a yeast that is fast becoming a house favourite. Having the pilot kit gives us the ability to experiment with new ingredients & techniques in a lower stakes environment than on our main brewhouse. Ultimately improving the quality of what we make with each batch. ... We've got some pretty exciting stuff planned for the pilot kit over the next few months. We'll keep you posted . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #keepinglocalalive #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #eastcoastipa #neipa #newenglandipa #hazybeer #hopforward #ipa #experimentation #sourbeer

15.01.2022 NEW BEER!!Pineapple Sour The next beer in our series of live Lacto fruit sours. Unhopped and soured in tank rather than the standard kettle souring technique allows this beer (and our other sours) to develop a more complex acidity which we believe plays better with the large cold side fruit additions. This time we fermented it with our favourite New England yeast strain which has thrown some nice juicy esters into the mix. Perfect for a warm spring arvo!... . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #keepinglocalalive #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #pineapple #pineapplesour #sourbeer #lactobacillus #berlinerweisse See more

14.01.2022 Dry Hopped Cashmere Pilsner coming back on tap after an extra 2 weeks lagering in tank. Tasting on point, plus its our happy hour beer this week (3-5 Thursday & Friday)! Ok, I'll admit this was as much about a photo of our Pilsner as it was about our Alocasia's big new leaf, she's loving the new home here at the brewery.... . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #taproom #keepinglocalalive #pilsner #lager #alocasia #indoorplants #shrubbery #dryhopped See more

11.01.2022 We've been busy at the brewey not only preparing for our second can release in a couple of weeks, but also brewing up a selection of beers to welcome in the cooler months. As many of you are already aware we don't have a core range, which means we constantly change and develop our beers so that there's always something new and exciting for you to try, and us to brew. We also have a bit of an unofficial criteria for the beers that make it onto tap. If we wouldn't drink a seco...nd schooner it doesn't make it to you guys, no matter how much it cost us to make or how big the batch. The malt pictured is for a dark hop-forward beer we've brewed numerous times on a small scale. But back in August 2020, when we scaled it up, the beer dried out more than we had anticipated. It wasn't faulty just not what we were going for which is why you've never seen it on tap here. Today we had another crack at it. So far so good . . . #bracketbrewing #craftbeer #sydneycraftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #supportlocal #seasonal #darkbeer #drinklocal #keepinglocalalive #smallbatch #experimental #uncompromising

10.01.2022 PASSIONFRUIT SOUR on Tap! Another full bodied fruit sour, this time jam packed with delicious Passionfruit. Come try it side by side our Pineapple Sour this weekend and let us know which you prefer.

04.01.2022 Best dressed! Solid effort fellas. Great weekend of Oktoberfest antics. We'll keep a few of the beers on tap for the rest of October so if you missed out this weekend swing past at some point this month. We've got a Cashmere hopped Pilsner, Black Forest Porter, Helles Bock & Peach Berliner on tap. As well as our Vienna Lager collaboration with @frenchiesbrewery and a Munich Helles Lager coming up soon. ... . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #keepinglocalalive #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #oktoberfest #pilsner #bock See more

04.01.2022 Even though the official oktoberfest event has been cancelled this year, we thought there was no reason we couldn't carry on the tradition in a socially responsible manner. We've been brewing up a solid spread of German style beers as well as a few fun ones especially for the weekend. Event will be held at the taproom in Alexandria over Saturday the 3rd & Sunday the 4th of October ... To ensure social distancing we're selling group tickets for tables of up to 6 people which includes 6 beers and 6 German snags. So get a group of mates together and join us for what will hopefully become an annual tradition. Tickets @ bracketbrewing.com/events

01.01.2022 East Coast IPA v2 on tap today! The next iteration in our East Coast IPA series is sitting more where you'd recognised a New England style IPA to be, a bit on the drier side, but that's where we like them. The version had a solid whirlpool addition of Citra and then 3 dry hop additions. Mosaic mid ferment which given it a great pineapple juice character. Then 2 separate terminal dry hop additions, first with Cashmere throwing some citrus, in particular lime, character into... the mix and finally Citra, a crowd favourite, to round it all out. Come try it side by side with our East Coast IPA v1.2, hopefully you all like the direction we're taking it. FYI, v3 is in the fermenter right now! If you can't make it to the taproom @thenoblehops have the only other keg. . . . #bracketbrewing #sydneycraftbeer #craftbeer #supportyourlocalbrewery #keepinglocalalive #eastcoastipa #hazybeer #newenglandipa #cashmere #citra #mosaic #hazy #taproom #experimentation
