Tapping into Stone & Wood Stone Beer

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

The limited release Stone & Wood Stone Beer, made in Bryon Bay, has arrived on tap at The Laneway. Made by adding wood fired stones to the kettle to rouse the boil (a tribute to methods used by brewers in the Middle Ages), which effectively caramelises the brew, creating subtle but rich toffee-like flavours, with balanced firm hop bitterness.

This boutique beer is only made in small batches so don’t your miss your chance to sample this fine brew. It may not be available for long!

Cheers!
The Laneway Team

Warming up Winter with organic Bordeaux and Burgundy wines

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Urbane cellar

With a newly updated wine list, this month at Urbane we focus on Bordeaux and Burgundy wines. Although it has taken a little while to source some of these gems, we’ve managed to get hold of some serious back vintages from boutique producers like the 2000 and 1999 Dugat-Py Gevrey chambertin PC, 1996 Armand Roussau Gevrey Chambertin GC, 1995 Chateau Cheval Blanc PCC, just to name a few.

For those of you not familiar with Dugat-Py, it is one of my favourite producers in Burgundy, which started in Gevrey-Chambertin in the 17th century and was passed down through 13 generations in the Dugat family. With only 1200 bottles made every year, and aged in 100% new oak for 16 to 18 months, we are excited to be able to offer our patrons this awesome drop. The estate has been 100% organic from day one – a truly magnificent example of burgundy at its best!

We are also working on new wine lists for The Euro and The Laneway wine list for next month, which will have a focus on alternative grape varieties offered by the glass, such as Vermentino, Corvina, Rondinella, Savagnin and Gruner Veltliner.
