Laidley Gold - A Tribute to Tradition and Innovation

Updated: 3 days ago

History meets innovation, when a legendary tale of a colossal beer bottle becomes the inspiration for a refreshing and modern brew. Laidley Gold, a 1989 Guinness World Record holder, is reborn with a contemporary twist that pays homage to its roots while embracing the spirit of today's craft beer scene.


In 1989, a monumental 2.11-meter tall beer bottle, filled with 417.68 litres of specially crafted Laidley Gold wheat beer, captured the imagination at the Laidley Tourist Festival in Queensland. The original Laidley Gold, billed as the World's first 100% Wheat Beer, was brewed by seasoned artisans at Brewhouse Brisbane. A moment etched in time, it stood as a testament to both the audacity of creation and the celebration of brewing artistry.


Fast forward to the present, and we proudly present our own interpretation of Laidley Gold. Crafted in the heart of the Laidley Valley our 100% Wheat Beer embodies the essence of its predecessor while pushing the boundaries of taste and quality. A fusion of tradition and innovation, our Australian-style Wheat Beer is top-fermented and lightly hopped, resulting in a delicate haze that dances in the light. As you take that first sip, a symphony of flavors unfolds – a symphony that crescendos with a refreshing citrus finish, leaving your taste buds tantalized and invigorated.


Our label, an ode to nostalgia, echoes the iconic oval design and wheat sheaf of the original Laidley Gold, a subtle nod to the past that seamlessly blends with the modernity of our creation. Just as the Laidley Pioneer Village & Museum preserves the legacy of the giant bottle, our brew encapsulates the essence of a bygone era while making its mark in the ever-evolving tapestry of craft brewing.


Laidley Gold is more than a beer; it's a bridge between generations, a testament to the artistry of brewing, and a tribute to the pioneering spirit that birthed the original giant bottle. Join us in raising a glass to the past, the present, and the future, as we invite you to savor the symphony of flavors that is Laidley Gold.
