Mountain Culture Humble Custodian Baltic Porter

TASTING NOTES

Humble Custodian is a testament to the thankless tasks that they all do every day, including some of those used in the process to create this warming caramel and toffee Baltic style porter. The rich chocolate malt notes are balanced by the clean and refreshing qualities that arise from being cold-fermented and their house lager yeast and is complete with a humble bitterness.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Built-in 1912 in the beautiful Blue Mountains town of Katoomba, Mountain Culture’s building housed ‘The Echo’, the local paper for many a year. Later it allegedly passed time as a “dancing saloon and home for lost or belated drunks”, until finally ending up as a Civic Video store. In 2017 DJ and Harriet McCready embarked on transforming the dilapidated building into the first brewpub in the Blue Mountains. After 18 long months of careful renovation, they opened the doors with the goal of welcoming people from near and far to come in and have a beer. But not just any beer. Rather, they hold themselves accountable to a standard that means constantly pushing the limit and pushing themselves to figure out how they can brew better beer, every batch. Because let’s face it, life is short. They have no time for beers that don’t blow their hair back, and nor should you.
