$100.00
Tax included.

Dark Emu is a Dark Lager brewed with mamadyang ngalluk (dancing grass) and burru ngalluk (kangaroo grass) seed harvested by Yuin people on the banks of the Wallagaraugh River in Far East Gippsland. Grain-led with notes of sweet biscuit, toasted nuts and fragrant coffee, balanced by earthy depth and a gentle drying bitterness.

This is a great dark beer. It’s beautifully balanced: a slightly dry, bitter finish, rather than chocolatey or coffee (which often happens with dark beers and stouts and porters. It’s malty, but with a nice, light mouthfeel (though not ‘thin’). I tried it over lunch in Lakes Entrance and had ordered a case before I finished the glass! And it was delivered in only a few days! Excellent, all-round!

Tried it on tap last year at Truli in Meeniyan, then chased a box down at the next opportunity. Safe to say it was my absolute favourite Aussie beer of 2025.
The name raised eyebrows though when I told others to try it.
