Stone & Wood’s Counter Culture brand releases a new and exciting brew every 10 weeks or so, after which they disappear from the realm forever. The eighth addition to be crowned in this range is Tequila Queen – a refreshing and flavourful margarita-inspired beer that dropped on Monday August 10. This imperial tipple is brewed with lime juice, lactobacillus, salt, Cointreau and 50 litres of premium small-batch Arette Tequila (produced on the edge of the ancient volcano that rises above Tequila, a town in Mexico), and hopped with Galaxy and aged with oak. This Mexican monarch will remind you and your tastebuds of salt-rimmed margaritas and days spent on the beach soaking up the sun.

For a limited time only, Tequila Queen will be sold in packs of two 500-ml cans online, as well in selected bottle shops and on tap at the Stone & Wood brewery in Fortitude Valley. After 10 weeks this lovely lady will bow down and make way for her successor, so we recommend making haste to secure a taste-test before she escapes the castle. To purchase a pack of this royally good margarita sour while she’s still reigning, head to the Stone & Wood website.
