Ekka-Inspired Strawberry Sundae Kisses Beer at Stone & Wood

Overview

When August hits in Brisbane, everyone in town starts craving the same thing. We've been well-conditioned that way, because this time of year usually heralds the Ekka's arrival — and the annual return of its famed strawberry sundaes.

As we all know, things are quite a bit different in 2020. In fact, the Ekka isn't going ahead in its usual form. Don't worry, those strawberry desserts are still on the menu at the event's online iteration. Plus, if you'd prefer to combine them with a brew or several, Stone & Wood has something extra special on offer.

Say hello to the brewery's Ekka-inspired 'Strawberry Sundae Kisses' beer. Yes, it's a boozy version of iconic dessert, and it tastes like strawberries and cream. As made from 60 kilograms of Queensland strawberries, Stone & Wood have whipped it up in the traditional Berliner Weisse style. It also features lactose and vanilla — and is available to drink (including to takeaway), and in beer ice cream floats.

To enjoy a taste, you'll need to head down to Stone & Wood's Brissie brewery between Wednesday, August 12 (which would've been this year's Ekka public holiday)–Sunday, August 16. Remember that Friday, August 14 is now a day off, although the beer will still be flowing over the bonus long weekend.

Stone & Wood will donating all the proceeds from the beer and floats to The Common Good's usual fundraising efforts for The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.

 Stone & Wood's 'Strawberry Sundae Kisses' beer is available from its Brisbane brewery between Wednesday, August 12–Sunday, August 16.
