Broken Shackles Lager
James Squire fought his way to freedom, taking plenty of risks and finally breaking the shackles of his seven year sentence to set up Australia’s first brewery.
A crisp lager that exhibits a balance of subtle herbaceous hop notes with a refreshingly uncomplicated clean finish. Brewed using pale and munich malts combined with noble Hallertau Mittelfruh hops, this brew is a quality quencher.
Mid River Pale Ale
James Squire might have been a chicken stealing, highway robbing, convict lothario, but he had some serious business smarts. That’s why, in 1806, he built his first tavern at Kissing Point on the shores of the Parramatta River, just at the spot where thirsty sailors would want to break their journey between Parramatta and Sydney Cove.
A full-flavoured pale ale with Vienna and Munich malts creating a rich, malty character. German hops give crisp herbaceous flavours and US hops add bright citrus and fruit aromas. All of this with just 3.5% alcohol.
One Fifty Lashes Pale Ale
When James Squire was discovered stealing ingredients from the stores to make the colony’s first batch of beer, the Judge ordered 150 lashes… plus two barrels of ale. Thankfully for us, James Squire was a far better brewer than he was a thief.
A clean-finishing, Australian-style cloudy pale ale for cracking refreshment. Malted wheat adds to its refreshing character and a concoction of hops creates fruity aromas with hints of passionfruit, grapefruit & citrus.
FOUR 'WIVES' PILSENER
James Squire loved adventure and brewing beers, but even more than that he loved women, having taken a wife and three mistresses throughout his life. He left all of them something in his will, but thankfully we got the beer.
Brewed using Pale and Munich malts and Saaz hops to create an authentic brew of sparkling golden brilliance, distinctive floral hop aroma and enticing spicy finish, in keeping with James’ bohemian approach to life.
HOP THIEF NO. 10 AMERICAN PALE ALE
By hook or by crook, James Squire always found a way to source the finest hops available for his flavoursome ales. Sometimes this resulted in a good lashing and other times in a handsome reward, but always in a good story to tell with a great-tasting beer.
The James Squire brewers are pumped to release the Special 10th Edition of Hop Thief 10, the latest in our brew series that celebrates the amazing and unique characteristics different hops can contribute to beer.
This time we have looked to the mountains of New Mexico to source the new breed of Sabro hops to add unique flavours of tangerine, cream and cedar. Along with Sabro we have used Hop Thief favourites of Simcoe, Mosaic and Galaxy to provide a vibrant burst of tropical hop flavour.
ALCOHOLIC GINGER BEER
James Squire Ginger Beer has been carefully crafted with Australian ginger for a light, refreshing and zingy ginger taste. It can be enjoyed straight from the can or over ice with fresh lime.
ORCHARD CRUSH APPLE CIDER
Plenty of ladies could attest to the tempting charms of James Squire. And what better place to sow the seeds of love than in his orchard at Kissing Point? Apples have always represented temptation to brewers, and James was probably no different.
A refreshing traditional cloudy cider with a fragrant, fresh aroma, a broad clean palate, and a crisp finish.
