Is the stone beer available around the traps anywhere?

Or just at the brewery?

Can't find any word on the website...

A top drop.

Thank god - I think Brad Rodgers is an awesome brewer (as well as a nice guy) - but I was so horribly disappointed with the Stone and Wood lager (average is a kind description) that I have been reluctant to even look out for their other beers. It sounds like the lager might have been an aberration and I can just get back to being a fan of Brad's beer and look out for them with pleasant anticipation

I shall hunt down the ones I can get here - even if I have to treck out to healsville!

Stone and wood Brewing get their stones and wood out...

What an interesting concept, I can't wait to try their lineup of beers now. I might even try this stone thing myself. Does anyone know much about which stones I should get?

Great to see Scott at the brewery and Im sure he will 'hit his straps' in no time at all, Good Luck. What a phenomenal brewer.

:beer:

i think the stones used in saunas would be the best bet... they mustn't explode if cooled rapidly, otherwise they wouldn't let you pour water on em

Boiling with hot stones was a pretty common way of cooking once upon a time - Ive never thought about the flavours it would impart though!

i think the flavor would come from the wood fire and the malt left on the stones during fermentation more than the boiling of the brew with stones, they would need to be white hot to get it to caramelize on the stones much

Been looking out for Stone & Wood For a while... Finally came across it at Vintage Cellars Chatswood Chase!
So grabbed a 6er of the Draught & a single of the Pale Lager.
The Lager was alright, nothing too different, but the Draught Ale was the bomb dot com!
Delicious! Very addictive! 
Looking forward to some different styles from these guys.

Has anyone here had a go at cloning this one?

Beauty!! :beerbang:

Doing a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone today, will try this one soon for sure

Brewed one recently, mine was a little darker and not enough hoppiness IMO, also the bitterness was a little harsh. I have tweeked the recipe and will try this next time as soon as my Galaxy supply is replenished. I made all hops late additions this time to reduce the harsh bitterness.

Comes out about 4.7%

Cheers

S&W draught uses Galaxy hops and only Galaxy hops. I have made a clone a few times and [post="0"]this[/post] is very close to the mark. When I brew it again, I will go close to 50% wheat, as my last version was slightly darker and less cloudy than the real beer.

Cheers - Snow

I do believe that the Draught Ale is now available at one of my local watering holes, The Point Ballina. The Stone and Wodd website confirms this.

So it looks like I may be popping in for a cleansing Ale or 2.

BTW, Hargie, if your out there, do you guys instruct pubs to agitate your kegs at all? Some places Ive had it (draught ale) its been nice and cloudy, almost hefe like, whilst other places it has settled out and pours with very little haze at all??

Cheers

You may be confusing the S&W Draught = Yeast Cloud and S&W Lager = Clear and S&W Stone Beer = Red and Clear

 

[MattC]

No Chance Argon, Draught Ale all the way!! I have this beer everywhere I go if its on tap. The other day at Yamba's pacific Hotel, i had a few and it was awesome, nice and cloudy. However other times Ive had it and although cloudy, it seemed quite light on the haze compared to other experiences. I was also thinking possibly nearing the end of the keg?? But thats why I wanted to know if they tell pubs to agitate the kegs??

Cheers

 

[argon]

Yeah probably right... To me the stand out is the draught. I got caught out one night when i saw the stone and wood logo across the bar. Had it served to me, thought, " hmmm that's odd... It's clear and no way near as hoppy as I remember". Had a second look... "oh the Lager!"

So yep that's why I mention it... Cause it happened to me.
Cheers

Arrgghhh, they have the Pale Lager on tap and not the Draught Ale. Not a total bummer, i will be sure to have few lagers next time i visit, but we had our hopes set on the draught ale.........
