smorgasboarder s.a. to the bay Welcome to Byron Bay Brewery, a place where a bunch of surfers work and one in particular brews beer that has made them renowned amongst true lovers of this most noble craft. Alastair Gillespie, head brewer, at Byron Bay Brewery hails from South Africa and is an eternally stoked surfer. And why not, he landed a dream job in this magnificent corner of the world. Regular readers of Smorgasboarder might recall Alastair used to write a regular column for us in the magazine. It had been a while between drinks so we were eager to catch up and see what was doing. “Probably the biggest thing that has happened here since we last chatted is the brewery has undergone a massive renovation. This has been heralded with the launch of our Hazy One Pale Lager.” For lovers of the amber nectar, such as myself, this is not your everyday lager. It’s a slightly citrusy tasting pale lager that’s super clean, crisp and light. Incredibly refreshing, it’s certainly easy to drink. In short, I found it hard to stop at just a few. The venue itself has also undergone a considerable revamp. There is a renewed emphasis on attracting high calibre bands from around Australia and indeed the world such as You Am I, who are playing at the brewery this July. “It is a great place to enjoy a few beers, a bite to eat and catch a live band after a surf.” Our take on the joint is that whilst we have always had fun here, it has really stepped it up a notch. It is definitely worth a visit whilst in Byron. It’s a super laidback place to take in some tunes and enjoy the beers Alastair brews, which really are nothing short of remarkable. With all that said, we won’t take up any more of Alastair’s time. I am sure he has beers to brew or a spot of surfing, spearfishing, kayaking or kitesurfing to indulge in. Bastard. 47
