Parramatta meets Surry Hills when Riverside Brewing takes over the taps at Keg & Brew (Sydney)

This month, on Thursday 10th March, Parramatta’s local Riverside Brewing Company will be heading to the inner-city to take over 13 tapes at craft beer-hub Keg & Brew, offering up free tasters, giving away their merch, and talking all things craft beer. The Parra brewery, which opened up in 2012, is the area’s first craft brewery so this is a good chance to head on down to experience all the pure, natural, handcrafted beers they have been releasing for the past few years, all with a commitment to additive and preservative free beers.

See below for a full list of all 13 beers that will be available on the day, from 6pm. $12 tasting paddles will be available on the night, as well as schooners and middys.

  • 33 Golden Ale – A fusion of American and English pale ale styles. Crisp and hoppy, it is bursting with citrus flavours and aromas.
  • 44 American Amber – This big, bold American style amber is packed with roast and crystal malts, balanced with a smack of American Cascade and Centennial hops.
  • 55 Pale Ale – Displays a deep amber colour along with an alluring full-bodied, complex character.
  • 69 Summer Ale – Brewed using 100% Australian grown barley and wheat malts, balanced with a generous amount of Australian Galaxy hops.
  • 77 IPA – A big American style IPA, this beer is a celebration of hops utilising four hop varietals throughout the boil and ferment.
  • 88 Robust Porter – Well balanced between malt and hops with subtle notes of chocolate resulting in a smooth and very drinkable beer.
  • 88 Robust Porter – As above, on Hand Pump.
  • 777 Imperial IPA – Brewed with a massive amount of four different US hop varieties, including a healthy dose of the relatively new hop Mosaic, giving aroma’s of tropical, citrus and pine.

  • Hop Hefner – Subtle clove flavours from the yeast, blended with a dominant Citra hop flavour and aroma, this hoppy hefe is packed with citrus, gooseberry and hints of mango.
  • Tzar Imperial Red Ale – Deep red in colour, this dry finishing red ale is balanced with a moderate amount of bittering and the addition of pine smoked Russian Caravan tea, juniper berries and toasted fennel seeds.
  • Yeasts of Bourbon – Limited release Russian Imperial Stout aged in Whiskey barrels.
  • Harvester of Sour – Single hop sour ale bursting with tangelo and citrus fruit from a generous amount of dry hopping. Clean finish and refreshing.
