Sour and strong ales are the mainstay of Boatrocker Brewing. The company is home to one of the largest barrel ageing facilities in Australian brewing, which you can visit at Braeside in Melbourne's south east.
Founded in 2009 by Matt and Andrea Howton, the brewery is also excelling at the more commonly available lagers, pale ales and IPAs.

And in 2017, the Boatrocker Brewing became Boatrocker Brewers & Distillers, as the Perth-based distillery Hippocampus was merged into the Boatrocker business, opening up a whole new array of experimentation.
I caught up with Matt at Boatrocker HQ in Braeside.
