Beer and rum brew pleases at launch

Craft beer and rum lovers were excited to hear about a unique creation from the brew crew at Eumundi Brewery, who have collaborated with the Bundaberg Rum Distillery to make what is unquestionably a very Queensland beer – the new ‘Eu-Bundy IPA’.

Head Brewer at Eumundi Brewery Chris Sheehan said Eu-Bundy IPA is a limited release special batch brew – a West Coast IPA that is part Eumundi Brewery, part Bundaberg Rum Distillery with several twists.

Chris said the partnership brings together the best of two Queensland producers – Eumundi Brewery and the Bundaberg Rum Distillery – both with strong local legacies.

“While beer and rum are from very different drink spheres, we wanted to create some magic by bringing the two together in one glass. I felt confident it would work, and I’m happy to say that taste tests tell us the union of flavours is indeed a winner.”

Eu-Bundy IPA launched at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 14 November. The new beer was to be on tap from mid-November.
