Grand Ridge Brewery (Vic) Gippsland Gold ABV: 4.9% IBU: 25 Style: Australian Pale Ale Background: Gippsland Gold is the flagship brew for Grand Ridge Brewery, one of Australia’s first and most recognised craft breweries. Grand Ridge is a 100% Australian and family owned brewery, situated in Mirboo North, a small country town in the heart of Gippsland and remains one of the region’s best kept secrets. The full range of beers from Grand Ridge are brewed, kegged and bottled by the very passionate Grand Ridge team at Mirboo North, which has been home to Grand Ridge since brewing commenced in 1989. This location was chosen due to the sensational water quality at the top of the Strzelecki mountains where the brewery sits. At Grand Ridge Brewery only the highest quality ingredients are used to brew beers of exceptional flavour and purity. There are no added chemicals or preservatives in the Grand Ridge beer range. These incomparable brewing processes have helped make Grand Ridge one of the world’s most awarded breweries, recognised with over 200 national and international awards. More recently Grand Ridge has created a number of limited release brews including the Mirboo Madness which sold out at a record rate, this was followed up with the equally popular SarsBEERilla Stout, Vienna Rye and Hoppy Frog. Grand Ridge are very well known for their beer and food matching events across Australia and also boast full hotel facilities at the brewery with a restaurant that specialises in steaks and superb local produce, and two beautiful guest houses for those who wish to stay a little longer and really enjoy the beers!
