23.01.2022 The Barrel Farm by Blackmans (Vic) is a passion project focusing on barrel aged sour and farmhouse ales and is located on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula. Th...eir maiden couplet release consists of a kettle sour and a sour neipa. Each presented with locally inspired artwork. Sour has tropical hops seated on a bed of oak, finished with a salty crispness. This is an accessible, balanced, easy drinking sour. 4.5% Sour NEIPA is a hazy gin cocktail in a beer! The flavours of gin, mint, lime and cucumber are all present with big hops and a mouthwatering sourness. 6.5% Congratulations to The Barrel Farm on this exciting launch of quality beer!

The vision: We are aiming for a lovely balanced porter with some Gin notes and earthy tones.
