Red Rye IPA, 6.4%

‘Cut the Chatter’ is a bold Red Rye IPA packed with chewy malt character, spicy rye bite, and a punch of citrusy hops.

ABOUT THE BEER

Brewed in collaboration with the Merri Mashers Homebrew Club, this Red Rye IPA is a scaled-up rebrew of the winning beer from the 2025 Merri Mashers IPA Competition, originally created by Jack & Ellie MacCauley. Layers of caramel and toasted grain meet bright bitterness in a brew that’s as full of flavour as it is rebellion.

About the...

MERRI MASHERS

The Merri Mashers are a passionate group of (mostly) amateur brewers
who love talking about, making and drinking beer together. Members come from all sorts of backgrounds, with different skill levels and setups.
The club meets up monthly to share homebrews, run competitions, hear from guest brewers, swap gear and head out on the occasional brewery tour.

ABOUT THE BREW DAY


To bring 'Cut the Chatter' to life, we scaled up Jack & Ellie MacCauley’s original homebrew recipe and invited them along for the full brew day experience. Brewing under the name Jackel Brewing, they rolled up their sleeves to help shovel malt, add hops and see their winning beer being put in tank.

We absolutely love collaborating with the Merri Mashers Homebrew Club - it’s always a blast working with passionate homebrewers and over the years we’ve become great mates with many of them. This beer is the perfect example of that spirit and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.
