CUSTARD, TOFFEE, THICC
The beer that kicked off our Shake series – “Salted Caramel Shake” – featured (among other things) a ridiculous amount of crystal malt and was surprisingly well received. After its 11th run through the brewhouse, we decided it needed a rest. 7 Shakes, 22 batches, and 18 months later, Creme Brulee Shake emerges as the older, more mature sibling to Salted Caramel Shake – with the caramel fudge sweetness dialed back and a darker toffee note introduced, with more of a custard vibe to the flavour and mouthfeel. We triple dry-hopped it with the autotune of hazy hops – Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic & Galaxy – so we can still pretend it’s an IPA.

Now you can drink my Juicy, Ella
Now you can drink my Juicy, Ella, Ella, Ella, eh, eh, eh

SWEET, CREAMY, FUDGE
We love malt. Toasted malts. Roasted malts. Caramelised malts. Red malt, brown malt, sweet, bready, fudgey malts.

ABV: 4.5%
Bitterness: 11 IBU
Appearance: 12 – 14 SRM
Aroma: Caramel, toffee, biscuit, fudge, bready

Our beer interpretation features rye and oats for texture (and muesli-like flavours), lactose for milky sweetness, roasted malts for coffee and chocolate as well as cacao nibs, tonka bean and vanilla for a decadent beer almost as rich and lush as the cocktail.
Style: Milkshake Stout
ABV: 7%

For our latest Milkshake IPA we started with a smooth and creamy base of wheat, oats and dextrin malts. Then we dialed up the thicc!
Milk sugar and vanilla are added in generous servings, the likes of which our inner child could only dream of. Hallertau Blanc, Galaxy and Cryo Mosaic hops are added at five stages to produce a balanced bitterness and ripe fruit top notes.
