Bright x Starward - 'APEX' Barrel Aged Imperial Amber Ale

"Two brands, one shared pursuit: shaping the future of modern Australian brewing and distilling.

For nearly two decades, Starward Whisky and Bright Brewery have each pushed the boundaries of flavour, innovation and quality within their craft.

For the first time, those paths converge. APEX brings together hand-selected Starward barrels and an imperial expression of our iconic Hellfire Amber Ale, creating a release that is both bold and considered. Every element has been designed to elevate and intertwine the distinctive character of each, resulting in a seamless balance of depth, warmth and complexity.

This is more than a collaboration. It is the meeting of two pioneers, united to create something truly exceptional." - Bright Brewery

"Like walking through the stalls of your school fair, plenty of toffee apple, warm sourdough loaves and hints of banana bread. The sweetness gives way to a rich port-like finish, balanced by a woody bitterness." - Team Carwyn⁠
