Description:
It took the Matilda Bay brewers 27 batches to create a beer that met their master brewer’s standards. They called it the Original Ale. To promote this perfect brew, we released the almost perfect rejects. Rejected Ales, the best beers you were never meant to taste. Original and Rejected Ales were sent to the press and influencers, along with a brewer’s logbook which encouraged them to share our journey to perfection. We then made the beers available in leading bottle stores, allowing the rest of Australia to discover our delicious odyssey.
