Matching Beer and Food with Bonnington

Here at Bonnington Brewery, we put a lot of thought into the matching of our handcrafted ales, lagers, porters and stouts with the large array of wonderful food available in this great brown land (or little green island as the case may be).

Tonight's combination, as recommended by Head Brewer and Chef, Larry Lowroader is Bonnington "Old Peculiarish" Ruby Ale with lamb chops and Silverbeet Spanikopita. Perfect for a summer's night when the wife's gone out for a DVD with friends.

Bonnington CIDER is go

Andrew, Bonnington's contract Orchardist, loads the raw juice into the Brewery's dray.

In a new adjunct to beer brewing operations, Bonnington Brewery and associated entities today commissioned the fermentation of it's first batch of apple cider.

With a secret mix of varieties sourced from the Huon Valley, south of Hobart, an initial quantity of 250 litres is now fermenting in locations scattered around the capital. Ready for drinking around Christmas 2009, we're anticipating a medium dry scrumpy of around 7% abv. Watch this space for progress.

There's an album of photos right here.
