Murray's Craft Brewing Co.

Murray’s Craft Brewing Co. is proudly 100% Australian owned. Our unconventional beers are lovingly handcrafted - and now bottled - at our brewery out the back of the legendary Pub With No Beer at Taylors Arm (population 50), on the Mid North Coast of NSW.

We brew the beers that we love to drink – interesting and adventurous beers that are big on flavour and aroma. Typically, Murray’s beers are atypical – they’re not true to style, and contain different ingredients that make them stand out from the rest. As you can probably tell, we could go on about this for hours . . .but enough philosophising!

Let your taste buds do the rest of the talking, and experience Murray’s handcrafted beers for yourself.

Murray's Anniversary Ale

A big beer. A very big beer. Murray’s Anniversary Ale has a strong malt backbone with lingering caramel/toffee notes that is balanced by the assertive bitterness and aggressive hop flavour. The aroma of toffee and caramel blends with the citrusy/spicy profile provided by the generous quantities of New Zealand’s finest aroma hops. Added to all this is the subtle flavour and aroma of oak contributed by half the batch being conditioned in old Merlot oak casks for an extended period and blended back with a fresher batch before bottling. The result is a subtle but evident oak contribution that further contributes to the complexity of this monster beer. A celebration of our first year – savour it, you won’t taste anything else like it!

Murray's Nirvana Pale Ale

Murray’s Nirvana Pale Ale is a hybrid of an American Pale Ale, combined with the classic English Pale Ale. A brilliant light-golden colour, Murray’s Nirvana Pale Ale has a full-bodied finish and complex character. With an alcohol content of 4.5% alc/vol, Nirvana’s fresh citrusy/spicy aroma and flavour is strongly influenced by generous use of New Zealand-grown Cascade and Hallertau hops. This is well balanced with biscuity/toffee flavours from selected caramalts.

Winner of a Silver medal at the New Zealand International Beer Awards 2006, and a Bronze medal at this year’s Australian International Beer Awards, Murray’s Nirvana Pale Ale will be available all year round. Graeme says it’s great on its own, or an excellent accompaniment to spicy Thai, Indian or Vietnamese food.

Murray's Sassy Blonde

Murray’s Sassy Blonde is a Belgian Pale Ale, and we believe it's the only beer of its kind brewed in the southern hemisphere. A deep, golden colour with a tight, off-white head, Murray’s Sassy Blonde has a spicy-orange flavour and aroma, with hints of toasty/biscuity malt and finishing with restrained bitterness. The unique characteristics of this beer are derived from a distinctive Belgian yeast and imported Styrian Golding hops. With a moderate alcohol content of 4.5% alc/vol, Graeme recommends Murray’s Sassy Blonde as an excellent accompaniment to seafood.

Murray's Icon 2IPA

Murray ’s Icon 2IPA is an international award-winning beer that we believe is the hoppiest beer brewed in the southern hemisphere. It’s a hybrid of an Imperial India Pale Ale and an American India Pale Ale. It's deep golden in colour, with a creamy white head. The extensive hopping creates intense citrus, passionfruit, and peppery characters in the aroma and flavour. This is balanced by sweet biscuity malt, and finishes with a full body that is rich with a rounded bitterness. It’s a beer to be enjoyed on its own, however it does go well with Mexican, Thai and Indian food.

Murray's Sunrise Wheat Beer

Murray ’s Sunrise Wheat Beer is based on the traditional Belgian Wit beer style and made from both malted and unmalted grains, coriander and orange peel, with a touch of Australian Yellow Box honey. The beer pours with a pale straw colour and compact white head. The citrusy aroma is backed up in the mouth with ripples of spicy tartness providing a clean, smooth and refreshing finish. Fantastic with mussels steamed in beer, or try with a salad.

Murray's Elephant Head

Murray’s Elephant Head is our interpretation of Pilsner made loosely in the North German style. The intense citrusy aroma and flavour delivered by the classic New Zealand B Saaz hop, is balanced by sweet biscuity malt and finishes with a refreshing bitterness. A classic food match with shellfish.

Murray's Grand Cru

Murray’s Grand Cru is a Trippel made with authentic Belgian yeast and pours a pale straw colour with a fluffy white head. Hints of banana and bubblegum, backed with dry-hopped spiciness of the Hallertau hops dominate the aroma and flavour. This is balanced by silky biscuity malt flavours. This intense ale finishes full-bodied with a mellow bitterness. Pair this distinctive ale with wild game bird or strong oily fish like salmon.

Murray's Swinging Arm Dark Ale

Murray’s Swinging Arm Dark Ale is made in the traditional Porter style from six specialty malts. It is full bodied, rich and complex. The beer is a deep ruby colour, with a creamy, off-white head. It has an aroma of caramel and bittersweet chocolate and finishes with a balanced bitterness. It’s ideal with rich red meat casseroles, or for the more adventurous try with Chocolate Mud Cake.
