In this February edition of Tour de Tinnie, we keep the summer times rolling with lots of tropical flavours as you dream of white sand and turquoise water. We bring you milkshakes, fruit juice, sunshine and roller skates – all packaged up in a box and shipped to your door!
What's in the box:
The Foreigner • Silent Hunter
Czech Pils | 4.8% | Brunswick, VIC
Started by two Czech expats, The Foreigner has expertly combined traditional brewing styles with the new wave of craft beer. ‘Silent Hunter’ is their take on a traditional Czech Pils – using European hops to develop a nice bitterness on a solid malt backbone.

Blackman's • Ernie
Hazy Pale Ale | 5.0% | Torquay, VIC
A full-bodied tropical pale with some bitterness on the end, balanced nicely by use of tropical hops and passionfruit, orange and guava juice. This juicy brew gets us thinking of beautiful Hawaiian beaches, laying back, sipping away on a big ol’ glass of POG juice.

Tallboy & Moose • Rippa
Rye Lager | 4.7% | Preston, VIC
Our closest beer-making neighbours! (less than 10 minutes to walk, we’ve timed it!) In this brew, a solid base of rye and crystal rye brings that spicy, bready goodness before adding some fruity hops to bring in the summer vibes. What a Rippa!

Holgate • Wild Berry Sour
Sour Ale | 4.6% | Woodend, VIC
All fruited up with generous additions of raspberry and blueberry! The easy-going nature of this beer’s body and juicy fruit notes makes it easily smashable, while the tartness may lead you to sip and savour.

Rover • Merri Creek
Mid-Strength Pale Ale | 3.5% | Reservoir, VIC
The latest addition to the Rover line up. It’s perfect for the summer months – championed by big pineapple-y, tropical hops on a light body. At a super-sessionable 3.5%, drink during a game of backyard cricket or at a barbie with ya mates!

Hargreaves Hill • Sunshine & Roller Skates
California IPA | 7.2% | Lillydale, VIC
The latest creation from this Yarra Valley brewery! You’ll find a classic West Coast style, with a lighter malt base making way for the hoppy stars of the show: Citra, Cascade and Idaho 7.

Two Rupees • Mumbo Mountain
Mango Milkshake IPA | 6.2% | Clayton, VIC
Two Rupees is the lovechild of two Sri Lankan born Melbournians. They’ve brewed the perfect dessert for this summery box. Generous hop additions provide a solid dankness, balanced nicely by mangoes and milkshakes (lactose!).
