Brian Strumke, from Stillwater Artisanal Ales, will be joining forces with Red Duck brewer Scott Wilson-Browne for a special collaboration brew day.
The pair will be brewing a saison beer together and will have an open day where the public can come and ask questions of Mr Strumke.
“He wants to use some Belgian (yeast). I wouldn’t say it’s unusual but in this country, it’s a pretty rare strain,” Mr Wilson-Browne said.
“The yeast is the key thing here because that determines the character.”
Mr Wilson-Browne said Mr Strumke would be in Australia for one week.
“They are coming over for Good Beer Week and are doing a couple of events,” he said. “So Brian said out of all the breweries, let’s do a collaboration with you.
“He is doing another one on the Mornington Peninsula, which I saw in the Good Beer Week program.”
Mr Wilson Brown will open up his brewery on May 23 for the event where anyone can drop by to meet Mr Strumke.
