Bodriggy have always had a sense of nostalgia running through their brand, with the Melbourne brewery providing a slice of Abbotsford of old. In particular, their Stingrays range looks and feels like tins you could have enjoyed while watching footy at Vic Park in the '90s before crushing each can beneath your Blundstones (fortunately, all of these are still great activities you can enjoy today - the government can't stop you).
Then, in 2024, they went even more classic with their Stingrays Draught Long Neck; a beer that comes in the rarely sighted 640ml glass. It's a somewhat surprising microtrend we covered here, and in the case of Bodriggy, it certainly captured some attention, with the first release selling out in a single day. Get your hands around the super stubby, and you'll find it to be a super quaffable affair with substantial bitterness, soft biscuit notes, and a lean and dry finish.
