It all started because of love.โฃ

โฃ12 years ago, Matt and Andrea Houghton founded Boatrocker. “We were driven by a love for each other, and a love for beer. That might sound completely insane, but that is what has driven us all these years, and continues to do so.” Matt explained.โฃ
โฃ
His first sip of a Cantillon beer changed his life. “I was captivated years ago by barrels and their flavour impact on beer when I was backpacking through Europe in 1998. My first port of call was Cantillon and, boy, did that spin my head around!” It set him on a path to beer enlightenment. “I am a lover of the romance of barrels, but also the complexities they can impart on beer, whether sour or funky or spirit-infused. They are the art of beer making.”โฃ
โฃ
This romantic notion had driven Matt to buy 60 used wine barrels from Yering Station for AUD 5000 when he first started the brewery. “My wife [Andrea] does all the accounts and the bookkeeping. I still remember her asking if we were starting a brewery or a winery! Thankfully, it sort of came to fruition.” โฃ
โฃ
It was Matt and Andrea’s faith towards each other and their passion towards beer that drove Boatrocker to become one of the largest barrel-ageing facilities and undoubtedly one of the finest breweries in Australia. โฃ
โฃ
Take “๐‡๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐‘๐ž๐” as an example, it is a Flanders-Style Red Ale blended using “Methode Soléra” - a process for aging liquids such as wine, beer, vinegar, and brandy, by fractional blending in such a way that the finished product is a mixture of ages. “๐‡๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐‘๐ž๐” is a careful blend of 12, 18, 24 and 48 month-old oak aged beers that each bring with them varying levels of lactic acid, acetic acid and brettanomyces. It results in an abundant taste of red berries with a rich malt character that balances the tartness with malt sweetness.โฃ
