The casks travelled 24 trips across Bass Strait to produce 400 unique limited-edition bottles of Bass Strait India Pale Ale, which are on sale at Seven Sheds Brewery's cellar-door in Railton. Willie was inspired to create his India Pale Ale due to its history dating back to the 1800s when attempts to ship beer from England to India often resulted in yeast spoilage. The beer did not keep well on the long, hot voyages and British troops and other ex-pats would often go months without a decent pint of beer. Eventually a new recipe was formulated - one with higher alcohol and more hops which was able to withstand the long sea voyage. "The distance the beer travelled between Devonport and Melbourne on Spirit of Tasmania II is roughly equivalent to the original 10,000km voyage to India via the Suez Canal," said Willie. "After travelling back and forth across Bass Strait for a month, our two oak casks full of India Pale Ale made it safely back to Railton, Tasmania. "There were some nervous moments when we eased the bungs out and sampled the beer but both barrels tasted fine," said Willie. |
