About us

We love beer

We've been into making (and drinking) beer for a long time - we're kind of nerdy scientists about it actually. In late 2013 we decided to start making beer professionally and released a Double IPA that was a little bit hoppy and got some attention. We're only as successful as the support we receive, so thank you!

There's three of us - Nat, Callum and Clara. We are all giant nerds and look after different aspects of our craft.

We do everything by hand. Sometimes this is painful because we're perfectionists and our methods aren't commercial, but we love it and there's no other way to get the flavours we want.

The final product, each completed with a mad creature design by the amazing Mikey Burton.

Didn't you used to be "Monster Mash"?

Yep. A certain energy drink company didn't like us using that name, so we changed it. No time for big legal battles here, we're just little craft producers who want to make good stuff. We like the new name better anyway. It means "strange creature" in Japanese - ones like Godzilla, Mothra, and all the baddies from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Yeah!

the beers

Meet the family

Aftermath Double IPA

A ludicrously hopped, American style double IPA with enough malt backbone to smooth out the assertive bitterness. 9.1% alcohol
Hopped Out Red Ale

Tropical, piney aromas, layered over a complex, biscuity-toffee malt profile. 6.4% alcohol
Metamorphosis IPA

Citrussy and floral. Quite a hefty IPA, perfectly balanced by refreshing hop bitterness.
6.7% alcohol
Where Strides the Behemoth: DOUBLE INDIA BLACK ALE

An enormous hop schedule balanced by a rich, roast malt character with rummy undertones.
10.8% alcohol

Cthulhu on the Moon: Black IPA

A complex malt bill, yet refreshing beer, delivers layers of roasty flavours, coffee and panela, offset by a herbaceous hop profile.
6.5% alcohol

Robohop Golden Ale

Exploding with tropical fruit, citrus and grassy notes, a proportion of wheat malt gives a crisp impression on the palate while still allowing the flavour to linger.
5.7% alcohol

Betelgeuse Imperial Amber Ale

Debuted at GABS 2015 with a top ten placing, this presents as a hoppy, American Barleywine. Showing sweet, heady malt character and firm hop bitterness, there is a luscious balance to this that belies the hefty alcohol and lingers for minutes on the palate.
10% alcohol

Krush Tropical Ale

A super-clean malt profile allows the ship-load of juicy tropical fruit flavours to arrive on the desert island of your palate unhindered. And it comes in a can, so after you Krush it, you can Krush it.
4.7% alcohol

We also make the delicious Golden Axe apple cider: www.goldenaxe.com.au
