For anyone who loves the hoppy aromatic goodness of a traditional India Pale Ale, but looking for something much more long-lunch-friendly, this beer is for you. Slightly lower in alcohol, and with a piney freshness but with a little honeyed richness on the palate to make it generous and so very sessionable. Go on, try and not finish a second...

Run out of a historic butter factory in Orbost, Sailors Grave is loaded with the quirk that makes Gippsland great, but also with a subtle detail that makes sure that you want to come back for yet another of the charismatic beers. Dig a little deeper and it all starts to make sense - run by Chris & Gab Moore, who founded (and then sold) the successful Commons restaurant in Sydney's Darlinghurst; this is a quirk with a hospitality guru eye for detail. The beer here is anything but typical, too. Gab's parents are local abalone farmers, and Gippsland produce punctuates the brews here with unexpected flavour. The gose, for example, is made with Orbost seaweed, the lemon meringue sour local lemons (from Gab's parent's farm), or an apple pie beer with fruit from the organic Hazeldean Forest Farm. Did we mention that these are charismatic beers?
