Share a brew with one of the legends of the Aussie Beer Revolution!

Catch Willie Simpson and Stone & Wood's Brad Rogers as they hit the road around Oz. The duo will be stopping in at venues across the country for a number of Forefathers Meet the Brewer sessions and plenty of this year's Doppelbock Lager.

"There are pioneers among us who have set the wheels in motion for today's burgeoning beer industry. This Annual limited release is a tribute to these Forefathers...

Before bloggers and beer porn, Willie Simpson was at the forefront of raising beer knowledge and appreciation through pre-digital Australian media. Willie has been one of the legends who's led the charge. He first stoked the fires of the beer revolution and then became a part of it, opening his own brewery and hop farm in Tasmania called Seven Sheds.

For this year's Forefathers brew, Willie and Brad were inspired by a German Doppelbock. And they've decided to brew a big black lager. With a rich malt flavour that hints of chocolate and dark fruits, we lagered it for six weeks to make sure the finish is super smooth."

Join Willie and Brad for a Pint or three in the Front Bar and talk Lager, Hop farms, Mead, Brewery Tours, the Craft Beer Bubble, pre-digital media and anything else that tickles your fancy.
