Matilda Bay had an itch they needed to scratch

Some of Matilda Bay's good mates stopped by the brand new Port Melbourne brewery to have a look at the new digs and enjoy a sneak peek of the tasty new, yet to be released, cloudy ale, I.G.P.

According to head brewer and boss man, Scott Vincent, naming the brew was almost as difficult as making it. The brewers scratched their head and then they scratched their hot and itchy green work pants (an occupational hazard of the job) and inspiration finally struck. From that point on, the brand new Matilda Bay ale was to be called (insert heralding trumpet here)... I.G.P. or Itchy Green Pants.

Scott and the brewing team showed off their shiny new home before putting on a tasty BBQ lunch smack bang in the middle of the brewery. As well as refreshing pints of I.G.P, everyone was treated to super fresh Redback and Dogbolter brews straight from the tank -- you can't really get much more refreshing than that!

Matilda Bay Port Melbourne Brewery will open a café/bar to the public in mid-March.
