Tap Takeover Brings Night of Good Beer at The Stables Craft Bar & Kitchen in Ascot

Beer lovers unite! Check out The Stables Craft Bar & Kitchen, which introduced beer from known Salisbury brewer, the Ballistic Beer Co. with a night of good beer and good times to jumpstart 2018.

In mid-January, Ascot locals got a taste of craft beer from the topnotch Queensland’s brewery Ballistic Brewer as they took over the taps at The Stables.

Just when Brisbane beer lovers thought they’ve tried it all, they’re in for some good beer times ahead as Ballistic Beer presents their drinks that come with such unique names as “Australian Psycho, “Dirty Word,” “Pilot Light”, and “The Grandfather”. Have fun guessing what’s behind these witty and “pun”-ny names!

The special occasion was part of an event called “tap takeover”, an event where bars feature beers from local brewers for a night.

The Stables Craft Bar & Kitchen had been holding “tap takeover” every month, featuring different local brewers each time.

Ballistic Beer

Lachy Crothers, a passionate young brewer from London, is the man behind Ballistic Beer. Lachy moved to Brisbane in 2014 for the job at Ballistic Beer and could not wait to share his passion about high-quality craft beers. In 2017, they won four medals for their beers and released 20 different beers of which two of the best selling beers are now sold in cans. The rest, as they say, is history.

Ascot’s The Stables Craft Bar & Kitchen has thought about serving Ballistic Beer over their taps on that particular night to give the local neighbourhood a taste of the topnotch Queensland’s brewery.

Ballistic Beer is the brainchild of David Kitchen and a friend who formerly played in a Hong Kong Rugby team with him. The two friends have built a shiny new brewery in an old WW2 shed on the outskirts of Brisbane. In two years’ time, David found himself alone in managing the place and realised the need of hiring someone who really knew about beer brewing. This is when he has come to know Lachy Crothers, a passionate young brewer from London. Lachy immediately moved to Brisbane for the job as he could not wait to share his passion about high-quality craft beer.

“When you try a Ballistic beer, you’ll notice something familiar but also something different, a meeting of old and new. So enjoy a Ballistic beer, but don’t expect it to taste like any other craft beer– it really depends on who won the latest ‘discussion’ [between David and Lachy]”

As all Ascot residents know, The Stables Craft Bar & Kitchen is the place to go when thirsty for beer, old whiskey, and craft beers from local breweries around Australia and even from as far away as Sierra Nevada, USA. On any given day or night, the bar serves seven types of beer and one cider, Willie Smith’s Organic Cider from Tasmania. There are also varieties of options for someone who prefers bottled beers. Among the options are Moon Bay Bjorn Again, Fortitude Toasted Lager, and Feral Hop Hog IGA. All beers can be paired with light meals, such as Rosemary and Chorizo, Rustic Fries, Croquettes with Mustard Creme Fraiche, Steak Wrap, Raw Veges, and Nut Salad with lime dressing or Salami.
