In the back streets of Gosford, a new style of beer has quietly run off the production line at Bay Road Brewery on Donnison Street.

The first label of the humble little brewing project ‘Space Rocket’ gives an insight into the brew master’s less than humble ambitions.

Co-founder of Bay Road Brewing Grant Buckham has been working on the new style of beer for a good while.

His dream is to create a style of beer somewhere between the well known East Coast IPA and the West Coast IPA, two of the most popular brewing styles in the USA.

Grant said to CCN “I wanted to create a great new beer style that fits naturally into the global market and also gives the Central Coast its own distinctive beer style

“The beer has distinctive fruity flavours up front and a salty finish to remind us of the great beaches here on the Coast”

Locals can come into the Brewery on Donnison Street in Gosford CBD for a Space Rocket on tap or purchase six packs of cans at selected retailers around the region.

Bay Road Brewery was founded in 2018 and has since attracted a loyal following and picked up national awards for their brews.
