BERRIED ALIVE - RASPBERRY ALE
It took years of trying to capture the taste of summer… and here it is!
Start with a lightly hopped blonde ale, add fresh raspberry crumbles…ferment again, do the secret dance and now you have the perfect balance between tart and tasty. We only use the best un-pressed, West Coast raspberries to get the most flavour without the extra tannins and bitterness of the seeds. This, friends, is not so much a raspberry beer as a beer with raspberries.

EXTRA - BLONDE ALE
Longwood’s signature ale is a truly unique brew that is a festival of flavours inside this 1950’s style session ale.
This is our first beer featuring locally grown and malted barley! This beer is loaded with Noble hops, which are most famous for their use in European lagers due to their low bitterness yet abundance of floral hop flavour. A low temperature fermentation creates a balanced, easy to drink “session ale.”
