It didn’t take Good Land Brewing long to be embraced by either their locals in Traralgon and beer drinkers from further afield. We’d suggest a big part of what helped the brewery hit the ground running was brewery founder Jimmy Krekelberg’s experience making beer overseas, including via stint at the Netherlands’ De Molen and Scotland’s Stewart Brewing. Under & Over is a collab with the latter of those that saw one of Jimmy’s old brewing collabs pop into the Latrobe Valley to concoct an oat cream IPA that combines British and Australian hops. For the UK’s contribution, the brewers used two names we don't often see in Olicana and Harlequin while Australia’s input of Galaxy and Eclipse likely needs no introduction. They're all varieties that are heavy on either the citrus or on tropical fruit and helping spur that further was Kviek yeast from South Australia's Ferveo with the oat cream an incredibly lush and slightly sweet beer where mango, passionfruit and graprefruit are all the stars.
That’s not the only fresh serve of hops out from Good Land with Subtitles having a 2021-era vintage look as a cold IPA. Here the selection is Simcoe, Idaho 7, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic for a mix of stone fruit, pine, passionfriut and passionfruit all diving into a clean and bitter finish.
