What happens when two Northern Rivers’ icons join forces? The answer is
homegrown magic in the form of a one-of-a-kind limited edition lager. Australian Macadamias and
award-winning brewery, Stone & Wood have teamed up to produce ‘Malty Mac’ - a cellar door only
macadamia-inspired beer.
Macadamias are an Australian native nut, primarily produced in Northern NSW and South East
Queensland. Similarly, Stone & Wood’s roots are in these areas, making a partnership between the
two locals a natural and damn delicious fit. The buttery ‘Malty Mac’ lager is a true reflection of the
macadamia farms of the Northern Rivers, it is relaxed and smooth, with blended robust Munich and
pilsner malts to give the brew dark golden hues, for an inviting appearance.
“Macadamias are so versatile in their use, we hope this collaboration will provide inspiration for
other makers around Australia to create something incredible with macadamias,” says Jacqui Price,
Marketing Manager, Australian Macadamias.
“It has been a struggle keeping our collaboration with Stone & Wood under wraps, and so we’re
beyond excited that the cat is finally out of the bag. With a groundswell of support for Aussie
produce over the last year, now felt like the perfect time to introduce an Aussie frothie that
promotes the provenance of our produce and inspires the imagination,” adds Price.
What makes ‘Malty Mac’ extra special is the roasted macadamias and macadamia shells added to
the fermenter that impart a unique and bold nutty character, complemented by a light level of hops,
for a clean finish. The unique flavour combination is achieved by roasting both the shell and the
kernel of the macadamias to create a subtle, malty, textural, caramel coloured beer - fit for easy
drinking.
Byron brewer for Northern Rivers founded Stone & Wood Brewing Co, Josh Waters, who was
instrumental in the creation of ‘Malty Mac’ says, “Australian Macadamias are the best quality in the
world and it’s something we have in abundance here in the Northern Rivers. We thought the idea of
getting macadamia flavour into a nice malty lager would work really well and so Malty Mac was born.
It's a lager based on a traditional German dunkel style beer that we’ve modernised for the Aussie
palate, by adding macadamias. This approachable beer is perfect for food pairing, so it’s ideal for
eating with lunch here in the brewery.”
