"Concentrate is a rustic barrel-aged Saison that incorporates traditional elements of mixed culture farmhouse brewing with locally made hop concentrate and dry hopping to create a vibrant and complex Saison. Aged for 9 months in ex cognac and shiraz French oak barrels, Concentrate pours pale gold with effervescent, white foam, moderately high carbonation, firm bitterness, and a soft mouthfeel. Bright fresh hop derived grapefruit zest, stone fruit, and herbal spice integrate with subtle barrel-derived vinous, oak and spice. Fermentation characters meld intricately with the hop profile and present a layered flavour profile that develops as the beer warms in the glass.
As a Queensland based brewery, we do not live in a region renowned for hop growing. Our subtropical climate and latitude stipulate that hop bines do not grow optimally here. Despite the obvious challenges, the team at Hilltop Hops in the eastern Brisbane suburb of Hemmant have persevered with their dream and now operates a small hop farm that provides local brewers access to a previously unavailable, seasonal fresh hops. We recently picked and processed a batch of fresh Centennial, Cascade and Victoria hops from Hilltop Hops and set about processing them in a unique, untested manner to create something special. We devised a simple method using cold temperatures and mechanical screening to extract the pure lupulin powder from the hops cones whilst leaving behind the vegetal matter. The process worked and allowed us to extract a workable quantity of high purity lupulin extract." - Ballistic Beer Co.

Meet the Dealers
We’re Antoinette, Natasha, Matt and Simon. We’re good booze lovers just like you. We started our beery journey in 2013 when we opened the famous Brewski on Brisbane’s infamous Caxton Street. In 2018 we opened our first My Beer Dealer under Brewski, it’s one of the few drink-in bottle shops in Queensland and we’re super chuffed with it. 2020 was a big year for us, we launched our online store (you’re looking at it) and opened our second bricks ‘n mortar shop next to Eagle Junction station in Brisbane’s Clayfield (we’re super chuffed with it as well). Both of these have allowed us to complement our awesome beer range with our other passions of good wine and good spirits.
As we’re a small family run business we prefer to support other family businesses and small producers, ensuring that when you visit us it’s not the same old, same old. And by shopping with us we hope you get to feel good about supporting a whole heap of small businesses, just like we do. So if you do choose to buy through us, thank you from us and thank you from our family of suppliers (and thanks for reading this far, our copywriter is stoked).
