Kicking off the new year in style, let us introduce XPA-Lidocious! 🍻 At its core, it's an IPA, yet we’ve made it with our approach to XPA's in mind. This brew is extra pale with a refreshingly mild bitterness yet is bursting with hoppy goodness! Weighing in at 6.2% ABV, it surprises you with moreish refreshment! It's already available at select retailers on tap and in can, so be sure to look for it. 👀
As always, ripper artwork from Adam Collins!

We had mad fun whipping up a brew for this year's Carwyn Canvent Calendar! If you're popping open that day #7 delight, say hello to a Belgian Blonde that clocks in at 8.3% with a cheeky hint of orange peel. It’s delightfully punchy but still easy on the palate. Ideal for cooling off while heating things up on this fiery Saturday! Happy holidays, you cheeky devils!" 😈

Eyes on the prize 👀

Gosh, has it already been 8 years? We’re commemorating nearly a decade since we first launched our beer creations from the remote ghost town of Cornella. From our humble beginnings as a tiny brewery to our growth into something a bit more substantial, we’ve navigated the ups and downs of the last eight years. While everyone knows we love traditional beers, we’ve also been making hazy juice just as long as anyone else.
To celebrate this milestone, we've released a beer called "Hazeful 8" Hazy IIPA. Appropriately, it features 8 of the finest hops and boasts an ABV of 8%. It’s already making its way to some of our favourite retailers and can also be found on our website.
Pick some up for yourself help and raise a glass to what's to come.

Biere de Garde ~ Oak-Aged French Sparkling Ale
Ooh La La, we go fancy!
To compliment the Parisian spirit in Bendigo, along with the Paris Art Exhibition @bendigoartgallery, we have made this elegant Farmhouse Ale. She is malty, she is crisp and she is artsy.
Served in a 750ml bottle on ice, and shared amongst La Crew.
Cornella Brewery is a microbrewery based at The Shiraz Republic, a family-run vineyard making boutique wines and craft beers in the Heathcote Wine Region. Established in 2016, our beers are hand-crafted from grain to bottle by Matt & Spencer in a shed adjacent to our winery.
Using modern craft brewing techniques, you’ll find an everchanging variety of beers available on tap at our cellar door or at selected bars and bottle shops. We make beers aimed at and in between the interesting and accessible ends of the craft beer spectrum.
Our cellar door and tap room is open every day from 10AM – 6PM for tasting and sales. We have up to 10 of our beers on tap as well as more in bottles. Enjoy a view of The Shiraz Republic’s vineyard, enjoy a pizza and relax out in the sunshine or inside our barrel room. We also have both an indoor and outdoor pool table, free to enjoy.
To contact the brewery, email [email protected] or contact the office on 03 5433 6338.
