Beverages
Brews
- Bucketty’s Lager (4.5%) - Crisp with a malty backbone. This is the kinda drop you want cold and fresh, just the way we do it. Our Lager is tapped directly from the tank, stored at 0.5C for its entire life, never touching sunlight until it's poured into your glass. Best consumed under the shade of a Coolibah tree. 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
- Pale Ale No. 2 (3.5%) - Why No.2, cause when we opened we wanted to do a new Pale Ale every month but by month 2 we liked the recipe so much we couldn't let it go. 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
- Do You Have a Ginger Beer? (3.5%) - Yes. Yes we do! After being asked every day if we have a ginger beer, the answer is finally a resounding YES! This brew is packed full of gingery spice and goes perfectly with a wedge of lime. 220ml $8.50, 375ml $13
- Sunday Bitter (3.8%) - The English style bitter is a classic favourite amount our expat mates. A malty reminder of the motherland, perfect for a Sunday session! 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
- Aussie Hazy (4.2%) - Packed full of Aussie hops, but lighter on the ABV makes this a tasty sessionable hazy. 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
- Bucketty's Bush Cider (4.2%) - This is our one of a kind, bush cider! With all Aussie ingredients fermented on a low hear, the result is a dry but somehow balanced cider with notes of apple, lemon myrtle, and a touch of honey. 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
- Midweek Bitter (3.3%) - The English style bitter is a classic favourite. A malty reminder of the motherland, perfect for a midweek session! 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
- XPA (5%) - 220ml only (0.9 standard drinks) - I'm packed full of citra hops, and fermented using Norwegian super yeast, allowing me to turn from barley to beer in only 5 days. 220ml $8.50
- Bucketty's IPA (5.8%) - 220ml only (1 standard drinks) - A staff favourite, this beautifully balanced IPA hits all the right notes of bitterness, maltyness and aroma. Don't just take our word for it though, it's a frequent medal winner at every competition we enter it into. 220ml $8.50
- Bucketty’s 1PA (1%) - Low-alcohol beer, it's like regular beer's smarmy cousin who shows up to the party, keeps things light, and leaves you feeling pleasantly surprised. With a hint of alcohol to make you say, 'Hey, I'm having a good time,' and not enough to make you start reciting Shakespeare to your pet goldfish. 220ml $8, 375ml $12.50
