Our beers
At Van Dieman Brewing, our core range of beers is a tribute to the art of modern farm-brewing, showcasing the purity and vibrance of Tasmania's northern midlands. Our ground-to-glass approach ensures every beer reflects the authentic taste of our homeland. By cultivating our ingredients - hops, barley, wheat - right on our farm and drawing water from our natural springs, we craft beers that are not just beverages, but stories in liquid form. Our core range includes Ragged Jack, a fresh, modern Pale Ale embodying the character of our estate through the use of 50% Estate malt and Freycinet Pilsner, a barrel fermented malt-forward lager, bursting with floral notes of our own Estate hops used throughout the brew. Our beers are a celebration of Tasmanian agriculture and brewing knowledge.
In addition to our two core range beers, we take pride in crafting exceptional limited-release beers, inspired by the rich traditions of Belgian-style lambic beers and wild ales. Embracing the art of spontaneous fermentation, we carefully create these unique brews, allowing the wild yeast and microorganisms from our estate to weave their magic. This intricate process brings forth beers that reflect the true essence of our terroir, offering a taste of the Tasmanian landscape in every sip. These limited editions, known as "Estate Beers," are a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our connection with the land, as we grow the ingredients right on our farm, making them a genuine ground-to-glass experience.
Our Estate Beers capture the spirit of time and place, showcasing the dynamic flavors shaped by nature itself, And often harnessing the flavours of seasonally ripe fruits and produce to harmoniously connect the beer with the land. Each release is a celebration of the present moment, encapsulating the beauty of our farm's surroundings and the richness of our produce. By offering these limited editions, we invite beer enthusiasts to embark on a captivating journey of taste, connecting with the unique story of Van Dieman Brewing, where craftsmanship meets nature to create unforgettable liquid tales.
