This unique fiery red ale was produced from the last surviving barley after the November 2015 fires. Fred’s final barley crop has ensured a rich coloured smooth tasting beer. Brewed by family and close friends to be savoured with a bloody good neck chop whilst on a slight lean and one eye shut. A truly cultured ale in memory of our truly un-cultured mate.

The Railway Hotel in Meckering was destroyed by an earthquake in 1968. To ensure locals could still enjoy a beer, the Shell roadhouse was set up as a temporary pub selling beer that was reportedly “all shook up”.

Richter Ale was brewed for the 50th Anniversary of the Meckering Earthquake using barley grown and harvested in Meckering, by the Snooke family.

Brewed by Lucky Bay Brewing on behalf of the Meckering community, 2018.
