Sonic Prayer Double IPA and Hazy IPA

December 4, 2019

Sonic Prayer IPA, what an IPA, it’s a favourite around here. But we thought, what if we mixed it up, tried a few sonic reverbs?? Introducing Sonic Prayer Double IPA and Sonic Prayer Hazy IPA, some off-shoots from the original legend. Same hops and malt but dialled in differently. You’ll find them in double packs in store so you can head home and try them side by side! Boom!

Nola (Friday 6th December)

The team behind the cult animation Beached Az are excited to announce their partnership with Modus Operandi Brewing and the release of Beached Az Brew - Trans Tasman Pale on the 15th November.

Following the recent launch of the new series of Beached Aziversary - a 10-part animation supported by Screen Australia - the team have taken the more serious climate message in the series and continued to spread the word. The partnership between Modus with Beached Az, along with a number of local charities championing ocean initiatives and answering their call to action in the series to “actually do something” will see Beached Az Brew aiming to make a contribution to combatting the growing climate issues, with $1 of every pint sold and $20c from each can sold going towards a host of charities throughout the year.

“We love a beer! Nothing new there but it was important that the beer was actually one we wanted to drink and not a token gesture which is why we wanted to speak to Modus. We’ve been loving their beers for a while and so we gave them a call. Knowing they’re aligned on green energy of the beer and sustainability credentials was key, it’s proved to be a natural partnership.” said Beached Aziversary creators Anthony MacFarlane, Jarod Green and Nick Boshier.

“The Beached Az series is bloody funny, so when Nick and Macca rocked up to talk about the beer, we were all beers. We love the direction of the new series. Obviously brewing by the Beach, climate action and sustainability is hugely significant to Modus. We try to have a light footprint across the board with 100% green energy. Beached Az Brew is a great opportunity to take a serious message and convey it in an original and compelling way. - brewing meets comedy.” said Modus Operandi co-founder Jaz Wearin.

Launching on the 15th November at Wings + Tins, Dee Why, there will be a series of launches in conjunction with beach clean ups to raise awarness for the new beer and the message it’s communicating. The details of the locations of the planned clean ups will be confirmed together with the participating venues. The first of which will be in Mona Vale on the 15th, then Dee Why on the 24th with the Northern Beaches Clean Up Crew, leading up to Ocean Care Day Sunday 1st December for The Ocean Festival.

The beer itself is a Trans-Tasman Pale. As the name suggests it’s brewed with a mix between Australian and New Zealand hops and malt. The result is a tropical and citrus pale ale - it’s 4.5% easy drinking; a perfect beach beer, especially after a beach clean up.

Dream Weaver Hazy IPA is BACK!

September 27, 2019

As things begin to warm up and Spring does it’s thing, we wanted to brew a hazy IPA and when we looked at pulling together a recipe it was hard to go past Dream Weaver Hazy IPA. We hear people ask about it, it placed in the GABS Hottest 100 and the Crafty Pint Beers of the Year - so we thought we’d bring it back for a National Limited Release. Our Craft Beer fans wanted to see it and we wanted to drink it.

We’ve tweaked the designs on the cans but the recipe is about 95% the same, if anything we’ve learned a few things from our brewers notes - MASSIVE Dry Hop additions but time has been key to do this hazy justice.

Launching in time for the Long Weekend, it landed in Vic first in time for the shut down this Friday with the rest of Oz seeing cans and kegs arrive.

We’ve got a few launch events locked in, with a few more to follow.

The Scratch in Brisbane 27th with 5 taps pouring

Far Side Beers in Vic also doing a Grand Final Friday party

And Modus HQ fresh at the brewery - you can grab cans too.

On the 3rd October we’ve got a launch at Beer Cartel

4th October West Thebby Social Club in SA + New Brighton Hotel in Manly

To All My Friends Canberra, Forest Lodge, Sydney

Plus pouring at Happy Wombat, Newcastle and The Union 10th October
