Well, let’s start at the beginning, the pilot system. The little 500L powerhouse that sits in the back corner of our original brewery at 14 Traders Way. No fancy gadgets or tricks, no automation. Just a brewmaster tinkering away enjoying the visceral experience of making beer with his hands. It is the smallest system in the house with the biggest impact because this is the place where every single Balter Beer ever brewed has come to life. Once a beer emerges from the pilot system, it lands on our taproom wall, which acts as an unbiased voting system with ballots only cast by your tastebuds. We ..read more

CRYOMOFO’s CHEEKY LITTLE BROTHER Introducing CRYOHAZE - a Hazy with the DNA of a West Coast IPA We all know a larrikin little brother who gets away with a bit more than the first born. That one who brings some extra life to the party with his cheeky roguish grin and jokes full of colour. Our new release is that little brother. The sibling to an earlier special release, Cryo Mofo, this latest CryoHaze uses the same hero hops but shows up juicier in taste and scruffier in appearance. “This special series of beers we’re doing is all about experimentation,” says Balter Head Brewer, Scott Hargrave ..read more

??: 4.30am. That’s what time head brewer Scott gets up to wake the beer monster. Everything is quiet. Still. Cold. There’s a little feeling of anticipation that something’s going to come to life today. Something new will exist that didn’t before. Fresh Beer.   When Scott gets to the brewhouse no one else is around. The only noise is a bit of bubbling in the fermenter. The sparrows aren’t even farting yet. Waiting, is the monster. The Boiler. Scott pokes it awake.   “That first shot of steam out is like a dragon snorting, going ‘what do you want?!’” Scott says. “It all groans and rise ..read more

??: BEER SNACKS. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from showing crew around Balter HQ it’s that people love getting a little insight into where their beer comes from. How it’s made, who makes it, what kind of sorcery whips into it a tin. So, we’re starting a little series called BEER SNACKS. Whenever you see the emojis above, you’ll get a tasty little morsel to sink your teeth into and complement your beer. They’ll be backed up with epic imagery by Steve Baccon, Trent Mitchell and Ben Trueman. Because if you can’t take the tour personally, it helps to feel like you’re in the shoes of someone ..read more
