Moo Brew

As anyone who has visited MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, will readily attest, David Walsh doesn't do things by half. So it is with Moo Brew, the beer arm of his majestic empire on the banks of the Derwent River, just outside Hobart. Launched in 2005, Moo Brew beers come in uniquely designed bottles, feature exclusive artwork by Australian artist John Kelly and are crafted by a team of brewers who have picked up an impressive number of beer awards over the years.

The original brewery was encased in a glass tower atop the main Ether building with views back along the Derwent towards the Tasmanian capital. That's long gone, however, replaced by a far larger production brewers not far up the road.

It's there the brewers knock out one of the tightest and most consistent core ranges of beers in Australia, many of them having claimed major trophies since the brewery was launched. The likes of the Pilsner, Hefeweizen and Session Ale are augmented by regular limited releases too, from the barrel-aged imperial stout Archie Rose collaboration to those that have allowed the team to have lots of fun: the hunt for a Belgian pale male or a Berliner weisse released with its own techno track.

While the brewery is dedicated pretty much entirely to production, back at the home of Mona, you'll find a cellar door showcasing their full lineup, while other bars and restaurants throughout the site also pour Moo beers. That said they're set to get another spot for their beers too, with Moo announcing in 2022 that they would open Hobart home in 2022 they hope will be ready by the year's end.

BREW by Moo Brew Tassie Ale

Published March 8, 2022
The BREW by Moo Brew range is a sibling stable to the Tasmanian brewery's main offering, with the simple, stripped back cans containing beers that are quite straightforward and approachable too. The series launched early in 2021 with the blue Tassie Lager and, early in 2022, it has been joined by the red-hued Tassie Ale, which means in terms of can colours at least the independent operation has the state’s two major breweries in its sights.

BREW By Moo Brew: Tassie Lager

Published January 21, 2021
Having launched in 2005, Moo Brew are not just pioneers of Tasmania’s craft beer industry but have been making beer for longer than many on the mainland too. Having a history doesn’t mean you can rest on your laurels, however, and in 2021 a desire to innovate and do things a bit differently saw the brewery create a sibling brand to the wider Moo range. BREW by Moo Brew (try saying that ten times fast), is a sub-brand that’s probably best understood when you see the tagline of “Don’t Overthink… Read more

Moo Brew IPA

Published May 21, 2020
Considering Moo Brew have had a US-inspired pale ale in their core range far longer than most breweries have existed in Australia, it might seem a little odd they've waited until now to put an IPA alongside it. Then again, while the story goes that owner David Walsh isn't a fan of the style, it's also true that this is a brewery that's tended to beat its own path: they've also had a damn fine Pilsner in their lineup since day dot not to mention a trophy-winning Hefeweizen.

For all that they've sent their beers out into the world in the fanciest of bottles (until now, at least) and adorned them with John Kelly's artwork – not to mention being part of the Tasmanian empire that includes MONA – they've never been ones to get florid with naming conventions at Moo Brew.

Moo Brew Single Hop Can

Published December 19, 2015
When The Crafty Pint paid a visit to Moo Brew for an article on the brewery's decade of brewing, there was barely contained excitement among the brewery team about a soon-to-be-launched product, but all they would say was that there was a canning line and a new beer coming. It turns out that the new product is Single Hop, a beer that has been brewed using just one type of hop and one type of malt, both grown locally in Tasmania. The former comes from the Cargill facilities near Devonport in the state’s… Read more

On occasion, writing about beer for a living can teach you things about the wider world of which you might otherwise pass through life utterly oblivious. Case in point: fruit. While most fruited beers feature species you know well, occasionally you're thrown a curveball: maybe a hybrid like pluots; occasionally something that's fallen out of fashion like the medlar, said to be suitable for eating only after being left to rot.

Starting with the newcomer, Halfway Hazy, it's a beer which does what it says on the (rather jazzy by Moo standards) tin.

Given the state of play in parts of the beer world today, one in which there are seemingly no rules – at least none that can't be broken – it's not unusual to find brewers putting out high ABV and barrel-aged stouts whenever they feel like it. It's a sign of how far and fast things have moved over the past decade or so, as it's not too long ago that you could count the number of imperial stouts, and certainly barrel-aged versions, released by Aussie brewers in a year on your fingers.

Moo Brew Mango Peach Sour

There’s something about the combination of mango and peach that makes the two fruits just work in beer. Largely, it stems from them hitting the sweet spot of being quite, well, sweet, along with possessing a fleshy juiciness and an underlying acidity. This harmony has been celebrated by Moo Brew, with the Tassie brewery bringing the two fruits together for Mango Peach Sour.

Some classic beer styles might have been around for centuries but the modern craft beer world can be a bit of a fickle thing. In Australia, Hefeweizens - or wheat beers more widely - were once a common sight in core ranges but today, they can be hard to come by.

There’s a bit of a paradox to Moo Brew's Berry Cream Sour.
