August 2021
Everything else has a day, so why not the IPA? Wait. It does. IPA Day is the first Thursday in August! This year, Sacch thought it was only right to join in the celebration of this bitter, hoppy and boozy beer.
It wouldn’t be right to just to chuck on the every-day, regular IPA every brewery makes. Instead, we are going to throw a challenge out to you IPA fiends. We have rounded up eight of our favourite breweries and snatched the freshest kegs of their core range IPAs. So what, I here you say. This is where the challenge comes in. These eight kegs will be tapped, but on which tap will remain a mystery!
You think you know your IPAs, this is your time to prove it. Grab a taster of each and match the tap to the brewery. Simple! We’ll have a mixed case of the showcase IPAs for the winner of the challenge! If you don’t think you’re up for the challenge, you can also just throw in a vote for your favourite. We will crown the ultimate core range IPA of the core range challenge!
What are the beers? Let go! We have Brewtal Brewing Old School IPA, Seven Mile West Coast IPA, Hop Nation The Chop, Akasha Hopsmith, Black Hops Hornet, Grifter Big Sur, Mr Banks West Coast IPA and Brouhaha IPA. There you have it. If you think you can ID these brews, get your hop-loving self down for IPA Day!

It’s been over 3 years since we created 3 beers for the Egyptian Mummies After Dark Event at the Queensland Museum.This festival was dedicated to Hathor (‘The Lady of Drunkenness’) and commemorated the time when humanity was saved from destruction by beer. According to the story, Ra had become weary of people’s endless cruelty and nonsense and so sent Sekhmet to destroy them. She took to her task with enthusiasm, tearing people apart and drinking their blood. Ra is satisfied with the destruction until the other gods point out to him that, if he wanted to teach people a lesson, he should stop the destruction before no one was left to learn from it. Ra then orders the goddess of beer, Tenenet, to dye a large quantity of the brew red and has it delivered to Dendera, right in Sekhmet’s path of destruction. She finds it and, thinking it is blood, drinks it all, falls asleep, and wakes up as the gentle and beneficent Hathor.
Sekhmet’s Rage – Pomegranate Sour.
Khufu Old Giza – Saison with Red Grapes, Dates & Figs.
Mummy Dukkha – Wheat Ale with Corriander, Juniper, Fennel & Cummin.
