Naming our Thirsty, Tiger Beers
The Thirsty Tiger Brewery is a Tasmanian brewery based in St Helens with a highly recognisable Tassie icon as a center piece of the brand. The naming of our beers follows a similar trend and uses other iconic Tasmanian animals from land and sea.
Beaumaris Brown Ale - Lends its name from the place where the last known, recorded, captive Tasmanian Tiger died in 1936 at Hobart's Beaumaris Zoo. Following our businesses thylacine branding, we thought this a fitting way of naming our first beer.
Pouched Dog Pale Ale - Thylacinus cynocephalus aka "Pouched-dog", this name was too good to ignore. With both females and males of the species having a backward facing pouch, we thought this would be an awesome name for our second beer and our first Pale Ale.
Octo Altbier - Originally brewed for Oktoberfest, in the Düsseldorf Altbier style, this beer is named after the Octopus - a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc that terrorises craypots around the coastlines of Tasmania. They are also well known to be very good at predicting the winners of soccer world cup matches.
Pipehorse Pilsner - True to style International Session Pilsener. Medium-bodied, crisp and well-balanced after bitterness. Slight perception of DMS (sweet corn) flavour and aroma. Easy drinking.
