Furphy is a refreshing ale that is Geelong born and brewed from 100% Victorian hops & malt. The first sip is clean and crisp, with a subtle balance of fruit and malt to keep it interesting. The finish is smooth and pleasantly refreshing. Given our Geelong brewery used to be an old mill, it’s no surprise Furphy is an easy-drinking ale that’s perfect for a session of yarn spinning.
Long before furphy meant tall stories, it meant storage tanks. Without the stainless steel fermentation tanks made by the Furphy family of Shepparton, we couldn’t build a brewery. This beer is our way of acknowledging their services to Victorian refreshment. As for how their name acquired its other meaning, that’s another story altogether.
The Furphy name has rich links to Australian history via the use of Furphy Water Carts in WW1 and their role as a gathering place. Keen to learn more about the history of the famous Furphy Water Cart?
