Matilda Bay Brewing Company was originally created in 1984. It established itself in the craft of specialty brewing in Fremantle, WA at the same time there was a similar phenomenon happening in the USA. Using locally grown Cascade hops, the region’s craft brewers developed a truly distinctive and unique beer style, the Northwest Pale Ale. Although based on traditional India Pale Ales, the Northwest style has its own unique character - one driven mostly by an assertive bitterness and a distinctive fruit and citrus aroma from the locally grown hops. Lazy Yak is an easy going, laid-back, approachable Session Ale with character.
