Shark Island Sandshoes Golden Ale

TASTING NOTES

Sandshoes is a surf break you couldn’t access without walking over a cunji reef, so to prevent cutting their feet folks would wear their Dunlop volleys. We have represented this with a beer packed with flavour. This Galaxy Hop driven ale has the classic tropical, passionfruit nose with hints of citrus and a nice bitter finish to pucker your gums.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Since opening in Kirrawee in 2015, Shark Island Brewing have fronted the quest to bring more craft beer to the Sutherland Shire. They were quick to get their Greenhills Summer Ale and Kolsch out into the market, both in the Shire and in bars and pubs around central Sydney. They also took the bold step of brewing a beer for GABS 2016. A number of their other beers were pouring at the festival, showing they know how to get their beer out there.

DID YOU KNOW?

The name of the brewery pays homage to the Sutherland Shire surrounds, in particular the surf break around Cronulla. It’s certainly a name that’ll appeal to local rugby league fans. And they couldn’t have risen to local popularity at a better time with the Cronulla Sharks winning the NRL Premiership in 2016.
