Shack Bay Brewing IPA

At Shack Bay Brewing, every beer tells a story. From our first Pale Ale brewed in a converted home office, to our New Zealand Pilsner inspired by adventures across the Tasman, each release has been a milestone in our journey. Now, we’re proud to announce the latest chapter: the release of our IPA a beer that reflects our passion for flavour, craft, and community.

The Development Journey

Crafting the Shack Bay IPA wasn’t just about brewing stronger beer... it was about creating balance, character, and drinkability. We spent months experimenting with different hop combinations, looking for the right mix of tropical fruit punch, citrus zest, and that satisfying hoppy bitterness IPA lovers crave. The result is a modern IPA that is bold without being overwhelming andperfect for long afternoons by the Bass Coast or paired with a hearty meal.

Flavour Profile

Our IPA showcases vibrant notes of passionfruit, nectarine, and citrus, layered over a smooth malt backbone. The finish is clean and refreshingly bitter, making it both a crowd-pleaser for seasoned IPA fans and an exciting introduction for those new to hoppier beers.

A Beer Made for Our Community

Like all Shack Bay Brewing releases, this IPA was made with our community in mind. From tasting sessions with our Head Taster Luke, to feedback from locals at the Cape Tavern and beyond, this beer has been shaped by the people who support us every step of the way.

Whether you’re looking to grab a case for the weekend or enjoy a pint at one of our partner venues, we can’t wait for you to taste our boldest beer yet.
