Molly Rose Brewing Double Squished

Molly Rose Brewing have recently (last night at the time of writing) opened their Chefs Table and with it, they’re bringing excellent food and beer together in a way that’s rarely - if ever - been seen in Melbourne. It’s a fitting thing for a brewery that’s made beers that so seamlessly match with food since day one and Double Squished follows that impressive list of beers.

The beer is a skin contact ale made with Moscato Giallo and shiraz. It spent a year aging on 2022 Little Brunswick Moscato Giallo and was then introduced to shiraz skins from Beyond The Glass’ 2023 harvest. It's as good a use as previously-used grapes as you'll find and brings a gripping sourness with fruit notes of white grape, pear with rosewater and strawberry. Better yet, it feels like a beer that could work with any number of dishes and fortunately, Molly Rose now has the space to do it.
