Just a taste of what beers we have coming in the May and June. The Sou'Wester stout - a dry stout with the addition of cocoa to give a smooth chocolate finish. This will be available for ordering from May 20

We also will have an Organic Lager coming in June. This beer uses certified organic hops and malt to achieve a well balanced lager with a touch of tropical fruit on the aroma and palette. More news on this beer shortly

The first kegs of the Cabin Boy Halfwit were delivered to the Kings Head today. They were being put on tap late this afternoon.

The Fish Tale Pilsner is still on tap there for this week only.

Australia's small breweries are asking for the excise tax to be reformed so that we receive similar benefits to the WET tax benefits that wineries receive. On top of all the usual taxes any small business pays, microbrewers have to fork out 25% of their sales income straight to the ATO in the form of excise. For more details please visit the "A Fair Go for Craft Beer website"  and help us get the laws reformed.

Do you have a social club and wish to purchase as a group?

We provide a discounted rate for social clubs. All we ask is that you do order and pay for it as a single order. If you are in the Adelaide metro area, we will deliver free of charge to your work location or at the standard rates for home delivery.

There is always a lot of interest from people about starting a Microbrewery. There is an article in the Dec 08 "SA Life" magazine that talks about how 4 different Microbreweries started. It is an article that you need to read if you are thinking about starting one. Of course, the Gulf Brewery is in there, talking about their origins.

There has been a lot of talk about the new beers around that are now "Preservative Free"

Let's make this clear - we are about producing fresh, quality, hand-crafted beers and have never used preservatives in our beers and never will. 

The Gulf Brewery Team

We have (finally) completed our trial batches of the Cabin Boy HalfWit beer. This follows the style of the Hoegaarden wit beer. It is a pale, dry, slightly tart wheat beer which is a very refreshing drink during summer. More details up on the site soon

The beer will be available early January

We are getting more and more requests for coasters. If you would like coasters, please send a stamped, self addressed envelope to us. Our postal address can be found in the contact section.

Labels require more effort to send out (we need to pack them so they don't bend), so we have a small charge for these. They can be ordered from the online shop.
