The silly season is slowly starting to creep in! Here’s a box with a wide variety of styles to keep you fresh and ready for what’s coming. It’s been a while since we’ve done a double feature of sour beers in Tour de Tinnie, but these are not your day-to-day kettle sours! On one side a hoppy sour by hop-maestros Garage Project and a jam-packed Plum Sour by award-winning brewery Reckless! We’re just invoking Summer here folks.
What's in the box:
2x | Boatrocker • Pale Ale
Pale Ale | 4.5% | Braeside, VIC
Say hello to the new core range Pale Ale by the legendary Boatrocker, after a sad farewell to their iconic Alpha Queen. This beer has a great balance of malt and hops with extra ‘refreshingness’ (yes, that is a word, and it’s spot on!)

2x | Reckless • Redacted

2x | Good Folk • Rice Lager
Japanese Rice Lager | 4.5% | Hamilton, NSW
Okay we’ll say it: 2025 is the year of the Japanese Lager. Joining Schmooze for the first time, Good Folk are a brewery in NSW slowly making a name for themselves and we are so happy to feature them with this quaffable and crisp drop!

2x | Mountain Culture x Rocky Ridge • Rocky Mountain High
Hazy IPA | 5.8% | Katoomba, NSW x Jindong, WA
A Coast-to-Coast collaborative effort between two massive independent breweries (and both with multiple venues around the country as well). This banger has a great showcase of tropical and stone fruit thanks to all the New Zealand hops added. Perfect beer to finish Spring!

2x | Garage Project • Electric Dry Hop Acid Test
Dry Hopped Kettle Sour | 4.2% | Wellington, New Zealand
With a can design straight out of a psychedelic trip, this beer is here to take you on a wild ride of flavour, with Ella, Wai-iti and Saphir hops taking the wheel. This beer delivers a tangy sour taste and notes of grapefruit, lemon and flowers.

1x | Reckless • Double Plum Sour
Fruited Imperial Sour | 7.0% | Bathurst, NSW
The Bathurst brewers go in a completely different direction with this big drop. Get ready for some big plum flavours and a good dose of sourness due to the exorbitant amount of fruit in this delicious juice. Full bodied and tart, with a light bitter finish. Jam!... I mean Yum!

1x | Holgate • ESB
Extra Special Bitter | 5.0% | Woodend, VIC
For a brewery that has been around 26 years, it’s a delight to see some of their original recipes still kicking on, especially when it’s one of their 2 first ever released beers! This British Bitter is both moreish and refreshing, with the classic orange marmalade and earthy notes that you find in these styles.
