Hightail Ale
The Hightail is an English inspired amber ale. It has a rich malt body and floral hop aroma. Alcohol content comes in at 4.5% (1.2 standard drinks per bottle). We handcraft our ales with the utmost care and avoid all preservatives, additives and pasteurisation.
“Nose offers a mixture of toffee and fruit aromas with a lovely aromatic lift. Complex palate offers burnt phenolic characters that are complemented by fresh slightly sweet flavours.” Winestate Magazine.
“the Hightail Ale has plenty of grassy and floral tones to tantalise the fussiest olfactory system, a drinking delight.” The Melbourne Palate.
“this ale has a robust, fruity flavour, well rounded and lively on the palate.” The Age.
“this dark yet slightly fruity Victorian beer, produced by a tiny microbrewery, kicks like a mountain goat and is probably my favourite Australian ale.” Pints Of View Magazine (CAMRA), Scotland.
AWARDS
The Hightail has collected a small bag of awards at the Australian International Beer Awards over the last 8 years including Trophy for Best Draught Ale (Small Brewery section) as well as numerous gold, silver and broze medals.
great beer
Great new labels guys, big improvement. Like the style, very classy!
Just tried the Hightail Ale, magnificant! Too bad I’m at the airport about to leave Australia, worth coming back for alone and will certainly be hunting out again.
Incredible beer, a strong smooth flavor, will be my go to chill out beer.
Just went there today, I was enchanted by your place, very authentic, romantic (not in the romantic way but in the idealistic one), inviting, I’m sure to pay a visit again soon, beers, just perfect, I love people who follow their dreams.
Keep it up

Thanks Roberto!
Glad you liked it. Look forward to seeing you again.
Met Dave at The Albion Newcastle for Craft Beer Week. Mountain Goat had a beautiful IPA on tap. It was a great event I hope it happens again next year. Great to see Dave come out of Melbourne for this.
I love Mountain Goat Brewery. The Hightail Ale is a really special beer, one of the best in Australia.
Keep up the great work. You have a lot of fans.
Thanks for the stoke-up Brian. We had a great time in Newy last week. Will be back again for sure.
Maybe see you then,
Cheers,
Dave.
