Join us alongside both Martin Pye from Riverbourne Distillery & the folks from Tumut River Brewing Co as we fly through 5 pairs of spirits & beer in an epic boilermaker session!
Riverbourne Distillery hails from Jingera, near Captains Flat - less than an hour from Canberra. Martin Pye, owner and distiller, is no stranger here at Whisky Flights and is back for his 4th event with us!
Martin and his wife Eileen founded Riverbourne in 2015, and two of their whiskies - the Identity and the Supremacy are currently on their 9th release. In this tasting we'll be tasting both the Identity - a lighter spirit driven whisky somewhere between a traditional Highland Scotch & an Irish malt; the 8th release of the Supremacy - a heavily peated whisky akin to those from Islay. We'll also have the Ultimatum - a more Speyside-like whisky aged in fortified wine casks; and the dark sipping rum.
Joining Riverbourne with the other half of our paired boilermakers will be Tumut River Brewing Co. TRBC is located in Tumut - on the western foothills of the Snowy Mountains - on the other side of the Brindabellas to Canberra.
TRBC will be bringing Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy - a single hopped Australian Pale Ale; Hot Cross Pilsner - a Czech style pilsner using local Atlas and Biscuit voyager malts; Bad Mofo - a West Coast IPA using Munich malts and locally grown rye; Portstar - a smoked porter using Voyager and Gladfield malts, and very low on hops; and Ginja Ninja - a deliciously solid ginger beer brewed with local Tumut region Batlow apples.
The Lineup:
- Riverbourne Identity & TRBC Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy
- Riverbourne Ultimatum & TRBC Hot Cross Pilsner
- Riverbourne Betrayal & TRBC Bad Mofo
- Riverbourne Supremacy & TRBC Portstar
- Riverbourne Dark Sipping Rum & TRBC Ginja Ninja
