Slip on the jandals and head into any Wines & Ales store for the latest LIMITED frothy for your chilly bin 🍻

Balter NZ IPA

Tasting notes: “Kiwi-grown Motueka and Nectaron hops give this IPA a grassy, grounded character to it, bringing to mind the dewy green paddocks that connect both NZ coasts. Balter NZ IPA has an epic mash of orchard fruits.”

LIMITED RELEASE ✈️🍻🇳🇿 // NZ PILS Formerly known as ‘Cuzzie’ this beer festival and taproom favourite has now hit cans. NZ Pils is stop one in a three-part flavour journey that will take you on a Mouth Holiday to New Zealand, with beers two (NZIPA) and three (NZHAZY) coming in the following months. So punch your flavour passport with NZ Pils, available at all Wines & Ales stores.

What the can says: Invigorate your puku with a frosty refresher. The first stop on a taste tour of NZ, this wildly crisp Pils uses all-Kiwi hops to bring soft fruity and floral aromas, with a lick of lime and a snappy bitterness. Dry hopped like our cuzzie’s dry humour, it’ll take your mouth on a holiday to the land of the long white can. Say kia ora to our New Zealand Pilsner… heaps better than Old Zealand Pilsner. — 5.4% ABV / 35 IBU

What the Brewer says: “We wanted to celebrate going international, but not too international,” jokes Balter Head Brewer, Scott Hargrave. “Seriously though, New Zealand hops really reflect the nature of its people. There’s an optimism to the taste without being overbearing. Some NZ hops are similar to Aussie varieties in that they can be rough around the edges, but there’s so much good character in there to draw out by brewing in certain ways. This is a chance to showcase those hops in different styles that really celebrate what the country has to offer.”🍻

Crosby Road would like to introduce two local legends that have just landed in-store!

To the left of screen is the decadent 77% dark cacao chili chocolate from our neighbours . Beautifully textured, rich in flavour with a pleasant burst of chili providing a nice warming finish.

We washed it down with a Fonzie Nitro Porter. The creaminess of the beer quelled the heat of the chili and it’s rich velvety texture was a perfect match for the equally smooth and velvety chocolate.

Chocolate and beers? That’s worthy of a cheers! 🍻

Come and see us at Crosby Road for these (and plenty more) local treasures!

Salted Cod Croquettes matched with a Sardinian Vermentino? It must be Christmas in July…

This textural white has the perfect amount of acidity to balance the creaminess of the cod croquettes and aioli.

It’s a classic example of acidity cutting through fat and texture being balanced by texture. In summary; it’s a harmonious seductive dance on your palate.

Come and see us at Crosby Road to acquire this vermentino. Head to Bar Alto for the tasty lunch!

PS. The mussels were pretty damn good too!

There’s a little game of football happening tonight Queensland and despite the series being won and done you can still eat and drink like a winner.

We’ll be indulging in some Darling Downs beef matched with a South Australian Shiraz. We could tell you about the tannin in Shiraz binding with the fats in the meat to create a supple and elegant tasting wine; but it’s steak and Shiraz - you already know they’re perfect pals.

Enjoy the game indulgently.

Drink better, naturally.

Tonight I’ll be drinking a Brouhaha Apricot Sour matched with a Thai Basil Chilli Chicken stir fry.

This enticing combination is a great example of using sweetness to counter spice with the fruit injection of Apricot quelling the fire of the chilli.

The sourness of the beer comes through on the back palate, providing optimum refreshment whilst also readying your tastebuds for the next delicious sip and bite.

Now that’s Monday night done right! 🍻

The old adage of drinking bubbles to celebrate and bubbles to commiserate seems rather appropriate for lockdown 3.0.

The drawbridge may be up for Queenslanders trying to visit the beautiful Apple Isle (or perhaps grape isle) but that doesn’t mean you can’t drink some of Tasmania’s finest.

Arguably the best producer of sparkling wine outside of Champagne, Tasmania’s sparkling wines regularly score top points at local and international wine shows.

With cool climate conditions aiding the retention of acidity, Tassie’s terroir is perfect for producing fizz with great finesse.

Put some sparkle into your lockdown, satisfy for Champagne tastes at a fraction of the cost.

Lockdown Recipe Idea - Peanut Butter Stout on Sourdough.

Step 1. Open and pour 375ml of Aether Peanut Butter Stout into an appropriate glass vessel.
Step 2. (Optional) Garnish with Sourdough.

The latest Winter delight from Aether has just landed at Crosby Road, the Creature of the Night Peanut Butter Stout.

With an ingredient list featuring chocolate and roasted malts as well as peanut extract; you know you’re in for intense flavour experience and this beer certainly delivers.

With rich chocolate and peanut notes, this certainly is a sweet treat but is well balanced by savoury toasty malt notes. The decadent flavour also masks a rather generous ABV of 7% - a delectable velvet sledgehammer.

It’s raining out there, grab a peanut butter stout and your favourite chair 😉
