King River Brewing

The complex charm of the King River Brewing Oud Bruin is a masterfully crafted Belgian-style brown ale that’s rich, tart, and layered with depth. Inspired by traditional Flanders Oud Bruin recipes, this small-batch release from Victoria’s King Valley undergoes extended fermentation and barrel ageing. Oud Bruin means ‘Old Brown’, also known as a Flanders Brown. This beer has been aged and soured in whiskey barrels for 18 months. Notes of peach and apricot with underlying flavours of vanilla and whiskey. The base beer is a Maibock lager that kept enough malt character to hold all these wonderful flavours together creating a beautifully balanced sour ale with notes of dark fruit, balsamic, and gentle oak. Perfect for adventurous beer lovers and those who appreciate old-world brewing techniques, the King River Oud Bruin offers a unique interplay of sweet malt and refreshing acidity. Pair it with rich meats, aged cheeses, or enjoy as a contemplative sipper. This is heritage brewing with a local twist.
