Mountain Culture has been brewing in the Blue Mountains brewery since 2019, and has earned a reputation for excellency, recently winning Australia’s #1 craft beer for the third year in a row, at the annual GABS Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers.

Now, it's launching a limited brew into all Applejack venues, including Forrester’s, Taphouse, RAFI URBNSURF, Sandy’s, RAFI North Sydney, Bopp & Tone, The Botanist, SoCal and The Butler.

Crafted with a balance of Citra, Idaho 7, and Amarillo hops, this limited-edition beer is packed with juicy, orange citrus notes. The refreshing, citrus-forward hazy beer is all about fun, sessionability, and great flavour, and only 30 kegs and 40 cases are available.

Mountain Culture innovation & brand manager, Pat Thiering, said after working with the team at Applejack for years, the synergy between the two companies is undeniable.

“Together we’ve created something truly special, led by the Applejack team for their venues,” said Thiering.

“We had a couple of great chats with the Applejack crew about the space in their tap lineup that they wanted to collab to fill, and we quickly came to the agreement that the perfect beer would be something that all of the signature haze and juiciness of Mountain Culture beers but was also sessionable and something their patrons could enjoy throughout the afternoon.”

Jack Of All Haze is available exclusively in Applejack venues, in $10 schooners or $13 pints, and in cans for $11 at select venues.
