Organic wine is reasonably common these days, but you don't see many organic beers. But it seems that's changing, with a number of microbreweries now producing organic beers.
Recently I came across Koala Beer's (I've only just noticed the pun) Burragumbilli Organic Lager. Boutique Sydney brewery and beer cafe Redoak makes the tasty Redoak Organic Pale Ale and long-established NSW winemakers the De Bortoli family have gone into the beer business with their Williams Pale Ale.
Well worth seeking out is Melbourne's Mountain Goat Brewery's Mountain Goat Organic Steam Ale. It replaces their Pale Ale, which was Australia's first certified organic beer.
There are a few others I haven't tried yet, including Otway Estates Organic Lager, Barossa Valley Brewing's Organic Ale, Steel River's Virgin Blonde Organic Lager and Avonmore Pale Ale.
