Gage Roads Brewing Co announced its latest frothy, Side Track, in late 2019 and at 3.5% ABV, Gage Roads Brewing’s head brewer Ross Brown confirms that Side Track is the perfect brew for those on the hunt for a full-flavoured, mid-strength beer.
BREWERY SNAPSHOT
From humble beginnings, Gage Roads has grown to become one of the country’s leading independent breweries. Back in the early 2000’s, two brothers and a couple of mates dreamt of starting a brewery, with nothing more than an idea and a personal credit card. Inspired by their love of good beer and the ocean, Gage Roads took its name from the strip of ocean that separates Fremantle and Rottnest. Setting up shop inside an old factory near Fremantle, the original brewery was created with second-hand equipment and a lot of hard work. While that’s now been transformed into a world-class brewery, founder John Hoedemaker says the memories of the early days remain strong.
