The Australia wide search is on to find an amateur brewer game enough to clone brew an old school Sail & Anchor brew, the Iron Brew English Strong Ale. The recipe vault's open, a gold medal brew log ready and waiting.
Ironbrew was an iconic Matilda Bay beer at arguably the genesis of the craft brewing industry in Western Australia during the early 1990s. It made a solid contribution to Matilda Bay being viewed at the time as a brewer of delicious craft beers, standing above others in Australia at the time, including their flagship Redback wheat beer. Ironbrew was one of the first Australian craft beers I ever had and as such it has a special place for me in my beer imbibing history. Now the original venue for Matilda Bay, the Sail and Anchor hotel in Fremantle, is holding an amateur brewing competition to see this classic beer re-created in all of it's 7%, English strong ale glory!
1st prize - To have a 40 litre keg of your Ironbrew clone on tap at the Sail and Anchor
2nd prize - A 50 litre keg of Sail & Anchor IPA
3rd prize - $100 cash
Further information and conditions of entry can be found on the Sail and Anchor website. It's open to everyone and the S&A have made some arrangements for East Coasters to send their samples to a VIC based shipping point.
Checkout the website for further information (or post your queries here) & Good Luck!
