We have completed the last of our brewery tours and it’s been great to get the chance to meet and talk to many passionate craft beer consumers. Over four tours on two weekends we’ve had over 250 people visit our Camperdown site to learn more about beer, brewing & the James Squire family. Thanks to all of those that took the time to come along & share a chat & a beer with our team. We will be looking to run these tours more frequently next year and we have earmarked mid January as the likely option. I will update your further on the timing in future newsletters.
Get a Taste with Brewer’s Bytes
Not everyone can get a chance to come visit us at Camperdown to enjoy a personal tasting with our brewers. So we thought we’d bring our brewers to you. Each month one of the team will be recording a half-minute profiling of one of the James Squire family of fine beers and posting it on YouTube with a link via our website. Limited Releases from Mad Brewers & James Squire will also be covered. So if you’d like to meet our brewers & get the inside goss on your favourite Squire brew click on the link & join us. This week I am kicking off with quick profile of 150 Lashes Pale Ale. Check it out!
Squire’s Cider tap launch
Following on from our recent Mad Brewers Fallen Apple Cyder Limited Release, we have been working hard to further develop our cider expertise. We are pleased to announce that a seasonal release cider will be available over the summer months. James Squire Orchard Crush is a 4.8% alcohol traditional cloudy apple cider and is now available on tap in only a limited number of venues in NSW, Victoria & WA markets. Orchard Crush is a medium dry cider produced from a seasonal blend of freshly juiced apples and should prove a treat for cider lovers this summer. While similar in flavour balance to our Mad Brewers offering, with Orchard Crush we have sought to retain the natural cloudiness of the juice and the appearance has taken its inspiration from the traditional Cornish ciders. This will certainly set it apart from the plethora of filtered ciders now flooding the market.
If you are out and about keep your eye out for our Orchard Crush on tap in James Squire friendly hotels.
Cheers for now,
Tony Jones

Hi Tony,

I enjoyed every mouthful! I have a question?, will you make the Cider

Went to Edgar’s in Ainslie, ACT, for lunch today. Two pints of Orchard Crush cider later, I was in a good mood and the event went well, too. Yum.
After consuming 4 pints of this delicious cider at Transport Bar in Fed Square, I agree that it would sell exceptionally well at bottlos! Thanks for making such a superb bevvie!
I had this last night at a work function, was the best cider I have tasted! I would love to see this a permanent release, it is great!
Had several glasses of the new james squire cider at the windsor hotel in perth a few weeks back and it was great. to my sadnness i could not find it at the bottle shops. i hope you change your mind and keep it on as a reqular.
Had a few pints of this at the Portland Hotel, and had to jump online to find out where I could get more of the stuff! Would love to see this as available in bottleshops, but in the meantime, I’ll be a regular at the Brewhouse!

Love the new cider! Tried it at The Mill last week. Far from being my local but pleased I made the effort (long drive) to visit. I only wish I could find it at my local bottle shop or pub.
