Wild, Earthy and Uniquely Tasmanian – Nature in a Bottle
The Two Metre Tall A Forager’s Ale is a beautifully rustic farmhouse ale brewed with wild yeasts and foraged botanicals from the Derwent Valley in Tasmania. Barrel-aged and naturally carbonated, it’s a living, evolving beer that reflects the landscape and the season- tart, earthy, floral, and full of character.
This wild ale captures the spirit of Tasmania’s wilderness in every sip. Made using spontaneous fermentation and local ingredients gathered from the brewery’s own farm, it’s refreshingly dry and complex, with gentle acidity and a touch of natural funk. Perfect for those who appreciate artisanal, terroir-driven beers that bridge the gap between beer, cider, and wine.
