A Tim Tam flavoured beer might not be the preferred choice of beer lovers. However, it has now become one of the latest flavours to emerge from Australia’s many breweries.
We’ve heard of all kinds of bizarre food and beverage crazes already this year. Only last week, Arnott’s announced they’d be turning customer favoured biscuits into chocolate blocks, meanwhile KFC have gotten creative with their own take on the famous Halal snack pack.
Now, Adelaide’s Craig Basford has announced that his team have created their own unique tasting beer. Big Shed Brewing Concern have created a Tim Tam flavoured beer. Basford cites a desire for the company to push boundaries as being at the helm of this bizarre creation.
“We love playing with existing foods and drinks and seeing what we can do to ‘beerify’ them,” he said.
“The idea being to get a beer that will taste great on its own, but even better when sucked through a Tim Tam.”
Another brewing company down in Melbourne has come up with their own eccentric beverage. If the Tim Tam flavour doesn’t tickle that fancy of yours – why don’t you try a brew with the addition of legit char-grilled kangaroo?
The team at Rare Bird Brewing have put together their own blend of native mountain pepperberry and uh, yeah, kangaroo.

Rare Bird’s Peter Imison says the idea stemmed from nearby suburb Kangaroo Ground. “We live next to Kangaroo Ground, the most accurately named suburb of Greater Melbourne,”
“[We] regularly have visits from these awesome marsupials at our brewery and houses,” he continues.
Rare Bird created this interesting beer product out of a pursuit to be more adventurous. “Our second driver has an inability to source unicorn tears, and because an extensive Google search indicated that nobody else has been quite so adventurous as to add this particular product to a beer before.”
