Flavour Profile
Our Vee Bottom Session Ale is the next in the series to pay homage to the pioneers of modern-day surfing, the Brookvale Six. Our inspiration for this super sessionable ale, is the founder of Keyo Surfboards, Denny Keogh who was an unheralded leader of the shortboard revolution of the '60s. It was in the Keyo Factory along with many crafting hands that the game changing Vee Bottom came to life, giving surfers the shape they needed to carve a tighter, shorter arc on the wave creating a new movement (sounds like our beer).
Our Vee Bottom Session Ale waves the Keyo flag for innovation using an incredibly new and exciting hop from NZ Hops, NZH-102. This new kid off the block hop doesn’t even have a name yet but is slated to make as big a wave in brewing as the Keyo's did for surfing.
Tasting notes
Everything we do at SurfCraft is a creative collaboration between the beer and surf industry. We are celebrating our local history, craftsmanship, and transformational impact on modern-day surfing in every one of our beers.
Inspired by the Brookvale Six and the history of surfing on the Northern Beaches, the Six are largely credited to starting the surf industry and bringing modern surfing to Australia. Together, they ended up producing 90 percent of Australia’s surfboards and with the help of cheaper rent they turned Brookvale into the nation's surfing capital - Surf City.
The Brookvale Six were no strangers to a beer or two, either, and used to rotate beer duties so they could enjoy a keg of the good stuff at knockoff. This tradition was held every friday after blowing foam all week in the factories. Here at SurfCraft we have decided it's high time this area reforged the link between the two types of foam that have put us on the map. Our mission is to unite the worlds of shaping beers and crafting boards has led to SurfCraft, a beer label inspired by the style and spirit of the Northern Beaches surf culture.
