4 Pines Pale Ale

Here is a fine example of what a love for beer and the environment can produce, based in NSW, 4 

Pines Brewing Company was born from a lack of good local beer.

A father and son after surfing one day got the idea to make their own beer.

The Pale Ale is the first of their beers that I have had the pleasure of sampling, an American style pale ale, it has hop-driven aromas of citrus, pine and grapefruit.

Made with a variety of ‘fruity’ hops, including simcoe, cascade, amarillo and citra it has a lot of flavour.

The four pine trees that are their logo are beside the water according to a picture on their site about the origin story, a picturesque view. They also have an interesting mascot who is creeping around their site, a furry yeti who also features on some of their merchandise.

Their aim is to look after the environment, the pine trees, so that they are around for future generations, they have a Save the Pines campaign to make their production as environmentally safe as possible – through recycling left over biproducts of the brewing process.

Get around this good-natured brewery, I’ll let you know about their other ones when I find them.

Cheers,

Dave
