Vegemite’, which scores bonus points for the audacious ridiculousness of the lyrics “We’ll have toast/with avocado/and tomato/and Vegemite/ Cos I love I love my Vegemite/it’s strong as hell/ and black as night”

Sometimes we choose albums from music we have recently listened to, occasionally it's to pair music to a great beer! On this occasion, I wanted to find bright, colourful album art and what better than the Gizz.

The juggernaut that is King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard has been steadily gathering steam for a while now and their fourth album, Oddments, is hands down their best record yet.

With the musical muscle of Frank Zappa and the cheeky irreverence of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, the Surf Coast group have dished up an assortment of tracks so disparate that, whether by design or happy accident, they have the overall effect of being rather magnificent. The awesome surf/garage rocker ‘Hot Wax’ is a dirtied-up take on a Beach Boys classic and chugs along with enough lascivious bass rhythm to make the original ‘Surfin’ Safari’ sound positively puerile.

King Juliusss
Tree House Brewing Company IPA - Imperial / Double
To continue with our 4th Anniversary celebration, we brewed an extra kettle hop and extra dry hopped version of King Julius! The result is an incredibly intense citrus hop blast unlike anything we've experienced here at Tree House. Mango, orange, and sweet grapefruit are predominant in the aroma with hints of pineapple and blended tropical fruit juice. The taste mirrors the aroma with a juicy mouthfeel and a proper bitterness. Fluffy. This beer challenges the sense and rewards the palate as it warms in the glass. Complex, raw, and beautiful, the amplified King is a beer we are excited to share and with 8.4% it should give you the buzz King Gizz was intending with their music. Dip in!
