Optus Stadium CEO Mike McKenna said the wide range of products available is testament to the Stadium’s fans first focus. Tens of thousands of fans flocking to Optus Stadium for the footy seemed a pipe dream a mere month ago.Next week, the venue’s official beer supplier Gage Roads will welcome back AFL crowds with Pipe Dreams, a coastal lager made especially for WA sports lovers.The new brew will make its debut at the Collingwood versus Geelong blockbuster on Thursday night to an expected audience of 30,000 thirsty fans before backing up at what is shaping up to be an historic Western Derby between Fremantle and West Coast.Gage Roads head brewer Ross Brown said Pipe Dreams was a traditional European-style lager made with predominantly German hops.“It fits in with that crisp, clean, refreshing style that’s something you can see yourself having down at Cott Beach with some fish n’ chips,” he said.While Gage Roads had planned to roll out the barrels at Optus Stadium for the first round of the 2020 AFL season, the pandemic forced WA’s biggest brewer to hold off until crowds returned.Mr Brown joked that it is good to have a 30,000-plus guinea pigs to try his latest brew, which joins the independent brewery’s core range alongside Single Fin Summer Ale, Little Dove New World Pale Ale, Side Track All Day XPA and Sleeping Giant IPA.“We’ve put a fresh batch through and it’s great to be able to time the release of this product with the footy season starting again over here in WA,” he said.“You’ll be able to gauge pretty quickly the sort of reception it gets.”.Pipe Dreams will pour as a mid-strength 3.5 per cent beer at the stadium but will be released nationally next month to pubs and bottle shops in 4.2 per cent kegs and bottles.Single Fin is still the top-selling drop out of the Palmyra brewery, which pumps out more than 14 million litres of amber fluid per year.Despite craft beer drinkers making a fuss about super hoppy India Pale Ales and barrel-aged imperial stouts, Mr Brown said that the humble lager remains hugely popular.“For the broader population, lagers are still by far the biggest seller in Australia and around the world,” the brewer said.“There’s a shift towards ales in the craft segment, but I think there’s a also a bit of a shift back within that craft world to an appreciation for the process that goes into making a lager.“There’s nothing to hide behind when you’re making a lager,” added Mr Brown, who was a world rowing champion before dipping his oars into brewing.“You can’t throw more hops at it, like you can with a big, heavy IPA or something like that.”.Mr Brown said that the beer business is almost back to normal.“We had a pretty quiet few months when it was in the depths of COVID-19 and venues were shut and the stadium was shut,” he said.“But this month is definitely looking a lot more positive and having the pubs open again gets the keg sales going.“We’re pretty much back to full steam at the moment, which is great.”.Despite the dip in demand due to the pandemic, Gage Roads continued to release new beers, including Loop the Lupe Cryo Hop IPA and a limited keg-only Onda Italian Pilsner.Mr Brown said he was “pretty excited about” his five per cent pilsner.“On a recent visit to the US, I saw more of those styles coming through,” he said.“And I was over in New Zealand in February and a lot of their hops lend themselves to those styles — to have a hoppy lager without it going too far.”.Football fans Sam McManus, Ashleigh Baker and Sarah Smith try out the new beer from Gage Road, Pipe Dreams, at Optus Stadium.Start an Everyday Digital subscription to The West Australian and get wine valued at over $130 from the Sandalford Margaret River Range,Missing toddler Jimmy O’Reilly found safe,Flying again: Scotto to get multi-million dollar revamp,The Raft: First look at Perth’s floating pub,Perth’s first floating pub arrives on Swan River,Flour Factory serves up gin-dulgent vegan feast.
