23.01.2022 How many breweries have had the State Motor Hill climbing contest in their backyard? Only 112yrs ago though.... Lifted from @nichaygarth The Wild Ride; Revolutions that shapesd Tasmanian black & white Wilderness photography. Superb insight to the rarer parts of our state - as seen from over 100 years ago #tasmania #discovertasmania #flashback #oldshcool #fangin #letitrip #hillclimb #evandale #motor #motorbike #blackandwhite #photography #wilderness

20.01.2022 I yearned for this bat as an 11yr old on the back of Deano’s performances and status for Australia in the mid 90s Whilst it didn’t lift me to the same heights as my hero, it supplied a brash confidence to my younger self and an unwarranted desire to influence the game as much as Deano did. 27years later, it slogs balls at the height of summer in coolroom cricket at the brewery, & still lofts straight drives in the backyard with the next generation #RIPDeano

20.01.2022 # Australian Spontaneous Ale, aged with fresh Mulberry fruit. A Lambic-inspired fruit beer, mellowed for almost three years in oak barrels. It strikes the perfect balance of Lambic-inspired sourness with summer berry aromas & flavors... The beer pours a rich shade of sunset pink with great clarity and an intentionally low carbonation, resulting in almost no head formation. The aroma is intense, rich mulberry with a light lactic undertone and notes of leather, hay and new oak, and as the beer warms up the oak develops into a subtle almond character & red grape notes. The flavor is similarly intense, bold summer berry, with moderate lactic sourness and a contrasting light sweetness; a light leather funkiness contributes to the complexity. The beer finishes lightly tart with rich, ripe mulberries and a sour-over-sweet balance. While this beer is not as funky as some traditional Belgian Lambics, the sourness is prominent yet kept in check by a subtle fruit sweetness. The mulberry character is reminiscent of a summer afternoon picking the fruit fresh from the tree (minus the blood red stains), with both a very rich and fresh character being maintained across the palate. Beer: Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush Style: Australian Spontaneous Ale with Mulberries Malt: All Estate Ale Malt, Raw Barley & Wheat Hops: Estate Aged Blend (approx 3 years) Yeast: Indigenous inoculation in coolship ABV: 6.2% IBU: 8 OG: 1.044-46 FG: 0.999 Limited to 1100 bottles & available on the website now #growbrewenjoy #lambic #lambicinspired #lambicstyle #spontaneous #spontaneousale #coolship #koelschip #australianspontaneousale #farmbrewery #farmbeer #fruitlambic #mulberry #mulberries #mulberrybeer #VanDieman #tasindiebeer #askforindiebeer #tasmania #editas

18.01.2022 ’ ! Naming beers after children seemed like a great idea initially - until the pertinent question always reared it’s head - What’s your favourite (beer)? Unashamedly it’s Max - largely because it’s the realisation of a dream, and the fruition of a largely simplistic goal - to produce a beer produced entirely from our own land. Well, Max achieved this for us back in 2017, and I’ve always been desperate to come back and repeat it again.... So with the arrival of Spring, the daffodils are in full bloom, we’re lamb marking on the farm and it 17c, there’s no better excuse to put this back into the fold *brewing today The fruition of a long held goal of producing a single origin, brewery sourced modern Farmhouse Ale, Max presents as an effervescent and dry yeast-driven beer that explodes on the palate with an intense spritzy character. You’ll find bucket loads of fresh lemon aroma and white pepper, followed by subtle nuisances of savoury herbs and over ripe blackberries. Our house-malted Estate Ale malt creates a light grainy flavour with a soft yellow appearance akin to a mid-summer morning, delivering a honeydew & champagne character reminiscent of authentic handmade lemonade. A blend of brewery grown Super Pride, Pride of Ringwood & Cascade hops combine to execute subtle fresh apricot, lime marmalade & lavender notes that compliment our house Everton yeast and adds a beautiful soft complexity. Max has delivers as a modern Farmhouse Ale accomplishing its own stamp on the saisons of France and Belgium without deviating too far from the heart and soul of this flawless beer style. While it was designed to sip on veranda in the afternoon sun or at the dinner table with family, we hope you enjoy Max wherever you get the chance to try it. *Released in the next 6 weeks Beer: Max Style: Specialty Saison (w/ Lemons) Malt: All Estate Ale Malt, Raw Barley & Chit Malt Hops: Estate 2020 Blend Yeast: House ‘Everton’ ABV: 5.3% IBU: 20 OG: 1.041 FG: 1.001 #growbrewenjoy #vandiemanbrewing #max #estateale #saison #lemons #specialtysaison #groundtoglass #beerfarm #farmbrewery #estatebeer #estateale

16.01.2022 We’re conducting some small scale barley varietal trials at the moment, with the hope to add them to our planting plan for 2021, and subsequent malting and brewing with at the brewery. We’re always striving to use better/tastier ingredients to compliment our ground-to-glass philosophy. All of these are heritage varieties, and most are no longer grown on a commercial scale, having been well & truly superseded by higher yielding cultivars. The varieties were bred for their malting characteristics (better tasting beer ) and in time we hope to learn how they’ll perform in our climate, soils, through malting and into brewing. #growbrewenjoy #growingbeer #farmingbeer #farmbrewery #barley #agriculture #tasag #sunset #tasmania #discovertasmania #vandieman #groundtoglass

16.01.2022 It's #RUOKDay, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today is a call out to all Australians to learn what to say after R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. If you know someone in lockdown, working remotely, on their own, a family member or even your jolly neighbour - There's more to say after R U OK?... Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide.

07.01.2022 ‘I work as a doctor in a busy emergency department in Melbourne. I absolutely love my job because it’s such a team dynamic and you never know what’s going to wa...lk through the door. It could be someone with a splinter or someone who’s heart has stopped. No matter what, it keeps me on my toes and we really have a chance to make a difference. COVID-19 has definitely changed how we operate. From the layout of the department, to wearing full PPE all shift, it’s been quite a challenge to adjust and it has slowed things down quite a bit. Despite all the challenges, it’s brought our whole team together and the support from the public (especially in the form of beer ) is very much appreciated.’ That’s Melbourne emergency department doctor Emma enjoying a ‘Motor Mouth’ from Van Dieman Brewing - one of 16 brilliant independent brewery beers in our ‘A Good Beer Always Helps’ campaign case on sale in BWS + Dan Murphy's online or in your local store.

07.01.2022 We threw a few beers into the IBA Indie Beer Awards last week, and were stoked to receive back these results. Its always difficult to place our Wilderness Project beers into categories, but we constantly seek feedback from the best palates in the country, and this is why we enter the beers into these type of awards as well as benchmarking against the best in the country. Huge congrats to all the trophy winners, state champions and especially the Independent Brewers Associa...tion team and the judges in a manic year for collaboration and assessment. Here’s to all being together in 2021! #Indiebeer #askforindiebeer #Independencematters #indiebrewers #growbrewenjoy #vandieman #editas #tasindiebeer #tasmania

02.01.2022 #FarmhouseFriday I thought I’d provide some context for where we produce our beers, rather than a particular beer this week. This is us. Based on the family farm, nestled amongst 100 year old Oak trees, and completely surrounded by the land with which we product brewing ingredients.... All of the paddocks in shot have grown us barley for malting with over the past five years. In two of the paddocks, we’ve harvested wheat and oats, again for brewing with. The hopfield is just out of shot to the left of the brewery Our spring water is captured from a capture tank just out of shot to the right. You can see the solar panels that do an incredible job in powering us at bottom right, and our waste water system is just to the downside of the brewery, that ends up pumping its treated water onto the eucalypt plantation to the right of the picture. What you can’t see are the 400 odd ewes and their lambs that are in the paddocks on the hill to the right, that are keeping us busy at the moment. And the two little pigs (Karen & Darren) that are rummaging around now to the bottom of the photo. It’s a completely integrated system, that works because we understand how each element can impact and effect another area of the farm. The fact that we produce beers from the land is a bonus, and a tangible reward that a holistically ground to glass methodology works. Cheers to that, & enjoy the weekend - Will

02.01.2022 Duchess; New World Barrel IPA ONLY 150 BOTTLES LEFT On sale now on the website as part of the Funk Trunk pack or on its own ... Casually rested in oak puncheons with Brettanomyces wild yeast for 18months, the trademark funky and hay like notes pair incredibly with a bevy of citrus, pineapple, and passion fruit aromas from the dry hopped Galaxy & Enigma hops - in barrel. A touch of coloured malt brings a sunset orange hue & subtle grainy character into play arranging balance amongst the floral barrage. A brett aided oaky earthiness, attributed to the barrel, finishes a mix of pleasant bitterness and tropical fruit, that only compliments an already complex and decadent beer Beer: Duchess Style: Brett IPA (barrel aged) Malt: Ale, Shephards Deligh Hops: Galaxy & Enigma Yeast: US-05 & Brettanomyces ABV: 8.2 IBU: 65 OG: 1.065 www.vandiemanbrewing.com.au/shop
