25.01.2022 #beeroftheday Big flavours deserve each other. If KarMichael Angus grass-fed steaks sounds like your kind of thing, try pairing it with this red IIPA. The roasted aroma of this big red beautifully enhances the flavour of beef, while its 7.9% ABV and assertive hoppiness will reset your palate for another juicy mouthful! Treat yourself today.

25.01.2022 #beeroftheday Youve heard of liquid lunch, how about liquid dessert?! A tribute to a true blue Ozzie treat; Quiet Deeds Lamington Ale is dripping with the chocolate and caramel notes of a classic English Brown. Real shredded coconut then lends a lightness to it, and a back channel of dark fruit comes through to deliver on the lamington claim. Its cake in beer form!

24.01.2022 #beeroftheday Spring has sprung! Why not grab one of these tangy little rippers and dust off the shades? Fixation Brewing Co Squishs sweet expression of grapefruit and blood orange is refreshingly balanced with the perfect hop blend, while New Belgium Brewing s Citradelic bursts with a psychedelic tsunami of flavour; deriving from citra hops and tangerine peel. Soak up some much needed vitamin D after the long dark and while youre at it, neck some vitamin C! (Warning: alcohol may not contain beneficial vitamins, just beneficial vibes.) #Spring #ApolloBay

24.01.2022 #beeroftheday Hailing from San Francisco; Anchor Steam has a liveliness akin to its hometown. This glistering beautys creamy body and rich flavour are to die for! Steam beer is a reference to an old method of brewing, in which the steam was the pressure of natural carbonation developing while brewing. We at the Brewhouse hold this one in high esteem indeed!

23.01.2022 #beerandwhiskey Weve just upgraded our whiskey selection to over 100! Come create your own boilermaker; like this fruity combo. The slightly sweet vanilla spice of The Balvenie 14 pairs perfectly with the funky farmhouse tartness of La Sirne Brewing Citray Sour. Try your hand at boilermaker invention, see what you can come up with!

22.01.2022 #beeroftheday From the deep within the wild heart of the emerald Otways comes this Pale from Forrest Brewery. Cascade Hops and crystalline Otways water lend an element of fresh rainforest air to this beer; while the malt and yeast follow through for a perfecly balanced, quintessentially Victorian, palatal experience.

21.01.2022 #beeroftheday Who needs dessert when you can indulge right at home! ? Try Smooth Sailors velvety smooth coconut vanilla porter; its not too heavy, but tastes like a pudding! And for an extra shot of saccharine goodness, why not throw in one of Gorge Chocolates silky bars to boot!

20.01.2022 #beeroftheday Craving a Cleansing Ale? Now that Prickly Moses Handcrafted Beer ChainSAW is CANNED you have no excuse not to drink it. Every Aussie has the right to a cleansing ale or two. In fact, we must have the cleanest intestines in the universe! But why cans? The question is "Why not?". Cans are lightweight, convenient, chill quickly, easy to carry, often features vibrant eye-catching imagery, and infinitely recyclable. But most of all, cans are better for the flavour o...f the beer. They are better than bottles at protecting beer from light, preventing harmful UV rays from penetrating the packaging which can leave beer tasting skunky or onion-like. The canning process also creates an air-tight container, preventing any air leeching under the crown cap of a bottle and oxidising the beer. Stop waiting and get yourself a ChainSAW can at Tastes of the Region! See more

16.01.2022 #beeroftheday Looking for some bang for your buck? New Belgium Brewing have made this Imperial IPA with you in mind! Boasting a brain tickling 9% ABV, this beer somehow remains incredibly clear on the palate. Tangy citrus and pine notes come through with very little malt. This effervescent powerhouse is light enough to enjoy a few in a row. Quaff with caution!

14.01.2022 #beeroftheday In a scene full of questionable crafty creations, local crew Sow & Piglets have made a line of traditional, German styles that will take you back to simpler times. Sweet and bread-like, but with a crisp body and respectable ABV to balance it out. This German variety never fails to impress!

12.01.2022 #beeroftheday This Farmhouse Red by La Sirene is a prime example of why beer is quickly catching up to wine on the fine dining scene. Co-fermented with organic rose flowers, this acid-forward delight displays notes of nectarines and sweet pollen; held together by a firm foundation of malt. The farmhouse funkyness and rose garden acidity enhance the earthy, nutty flavours of this creamy camebert perfectly. Come down and grab both today!

12.01.2022 KarMichael Angus grass fed local beef, now available at Tastes of the Region!

11.01.2022 Its that time of the year again... its time for another Christmas countdown! At Tastes of the Region we are getting ready for Christmas with these new Christmas Gift Packs, so youll never be stuck for a gift idea again!

11.01.2022 #beeroftheday It may be getting hotter, but as the sun sets into cooler evenings there is still time for a dark indulgence or two. Mornington Peninsula Brewery have a beer for that! Their brown ale has a dark complexion and a depth of flavour that is rarely found. Sweet brown sugar gives way to a comforting blanket of raisin and toffee tastes. Like a pain aux raisin in beer form; a perfect end to a long day!

11.01.2022 #beeroftheday Is craft beers high ABV making you a bit green around the gills? Try sinking a few of these 4.1% belters. Using a local hop variety thats rarely seen - Victorias Secret - these malty golden ales will treat you right, and youll avoid the headache even if youre on the sesh for a long one!

10.01.2022 #beeroftheday Mid-strengths dont have to have mid-taste! This bright ale by Vale Brewing is as crisp as a coastal morning; with just a breath of hop bitterness to add a layer of complexity to this laidback libation. Shes a beauty!

08.01.2022 #beeroftheday Craft beer is a delicious but often taxing hobby. With the tastiest beers more often than not passing the 6% benchmark. This mid-strength IPA by Hobo Brew is your semi-sobering savour! Despite being only 3.5%, there is no compromise on flavour here. Peachy vibes give way to the spice and pine notes of a robust hop profile. Light yet lively!

08.01.2022 Hurdle Creek Still, family owned small batch Gin Distillery, producing artisan Gins and spirits. Grain Jenever, Dark Chocolate Liquor , Cherry Gin , and much more! Now available at Tastes of the Region.

08.01.2022 #beeroftheday If youre looking for a refreshing brew, @cbco_ have you covered. This sour is as light as they come; with just the right amount of tang. Best served icy cold. Its squash for grown ups!

08.01.2022 #beeroftheday Lagers dont get as much love in the craft game due to their long and expensive brewing cycle. When done right though, like this pale lager by East 9th Brewing, they can really shine. Focusing entirely on a single pale malt and cascade hops, this lagers delicate flavour will make you question if your regular grog is worth buying anymore!

07.01.2022 #beeroftheday Extra Pale Ales emerged from a desire to strip away the astringent character of Pales (chiefly the bitter Crystal malt and high percentage), while maintaining the aromatics of modern hops. Hop Splice by Stockade Brew Co does just that; blending 3 hop varietals with hop-like grapefruit vest to create a sessionable ale that is both complex and delicate in flavour.

07.01.2022 #beerandwhiskey We've just upgraded our whiskey selection to over 100! Come create your own boilermaker; like this fruity combo. The slightly sweet vanilla spice of The Balvenie 14 pairs perfectly with the funky farmhouse tartness of La Sirène Brewing Citray Sour. Try your hand at boilermaker invention, see what you can come up with!

07.01.2022 #beeroftheday This Clare Valley Brewing Co extra stout is a powerhouse of dark, malty sweetness. The perfect accompaniment to Apostle Wheys blue vein; a surprisingly mild, yet flavoursome blue. The high ABV cuts a swathe through the powerful cheese, resetting your pallet for yet another delicious bite!

06.01.2022 #beeroftheday Here with MOO BREW we have a classic style German pilsner with a modern twist! Using only German Spalt hops, the aroma and lingering bitterness are a parting from tradition; giving this silky pilsner almost pale-like qualities.

05.01.2022 It’s that time of the year again... it’s time for another Christmas countdown! At Tastes of the Region we are getting ready for Christmas with these new Christmas Gift Packs, so you’ll never be stuck for a gift idea again!

04.01.2022 #beeroftheday NEIPA is an emerging style that places an emphasis on smooth haziness and fresh hop profiles. This one by Quiet Deeds is a quintessential example. Completely opaque; the use of oats gives this beer a silky mouth feel and low bitterness that allows the tropical flavours to really shine. Hop on the Juice Train today!

04.01.2022 #beeroftheday A true multitasker; Doctors Orders Brewing s wheat beer is full of botanics like lemon myrtle and juniper so that it pairs perfectly with your favourite gin. Come down and grab it alongside one of our vast selection of boutique gins today!

04.01.2022 #beeroftheday At 7.5%, this ale will put as much hair on your chest as this guy has in his beard! Displaying ever-developing interaction between robust malt and strong yeast characters; if you enjoy a Coopers its one not to be missed. Cellar it for up to 5 years to intensify the flavour (if you have the patience!).

02.01.2022 #beeroftheday Not every beer-sized bottle derives from grain. Local Goulburn Valley Food Co-operative has created this effervescent wonder. Close your eyes and experience the tastes and smells of agrarian orchard life. An expert blend between the choicest varieties combines the aromatic nose of pear with the dry finish of crisp apple. The best of both cider types is on display here in a single bottle!
