On 17 October, Tallboy & Moose turns 10 years old.
Ten years of brewing in Preston. Ten years of pouring beers, feeding people, throwing parties, making questionable naming decisions and generally seeing how far we can push an idea before someone tells us to stop.
And, most importantly, 10 years of beers.
So for our tenth birthday, we’re digging into the Tallboy archives and bringing some of them back.
10 YEARS OF BEERS
Over the past decade we’ve brewed a lot of beer. Some became firm favourites. Some disappeared before their time. Some were wonderfully weird. And some probably deserve another chance.
Over the coming months, we’ll be cranking up the Tallboy Time Machine and revisiting beers from across our first ten years — old favourites, forgotten gems and a few releases that haven’t seen the light of day in a very long time.
First out of the machine is Deep Steep, our 5.6% Amber Ale with Chamomile — and, fittingly, the very first beer ever brewed under the Tallboy & Moose name.
Next up is 3 Months of Sunshine, brewed with Adam Clark, winner of the 2026 Merri Mashers IPA competition. Inspired by Cascadia’s brief but glorious Pacific Northwest summer, it’s a bright, hoppy IPA celebrating those precious three months when the drizzle clears, the sun comes out and everyone remembers why they live there.
Then, we have Melbourne Dry-PA. We teamed up with the legends at Patient Wolf Gin to steep a juicy, pillowy Hazy IPA in a bath of gin, and things got weird (and delicious). Simcoe, Eclipse, Riwaka and Citra bring zesty citrus, tropical fruit and a piney bite, while the gin adds a crisp, botanical dryness that makes this hazy surprisingly sessionable.
We then followed up with Powerbomb West Coast Pilsner, made in collaboration with the Mat Earth Society wresting crew, it slams your taste buds with crisp, clean bitterness, a punch of citrusy hops, and a smooth malt backbone. Bold, balanced, and ready to rumble!
Finally, we created with our mates at Reckless Brewing the Finger Lime Cerveza, crisp, crushable and equal parts fresh and unruly. It hits hard with a wild burst of native citrus, and a sharp little kick straight to the hydration station. Light-bodied and highly refreshing, a collision of cerveza tradition and native Aussie flavour.
SAVE THE DATE: 17 OCTOBER
The big birthday lands on Saturday 17 October, and we’ll be celebrating at the brewery in Preston.
We have games, we have door prizes, we have live music, we have a magician and face painter ready to make this a celebration truly worth remembering.
If you’ve drunk a beer with us, worked with us, played a gig here, brought your dog, celebrated a birthday, spent too long at trivia, eaten too much Sunday roast or just wandered in for one and stayed for several - you’re part of the story. Come and celebrate it with us.
Ten years down. Plenty more trouble to come.
