The Kabi Kabi people have stewarded and enjoyed the wonderful bounties that are all around us for thousands of years. With gratitude and thankfulness, we offer our creations to the wider Australian community. We do this with the blessing of the elders and in collaboration with our native food growers.
When Australians share a beer, we bring our best selves. We talk, we sip, we listen… we yarn.
Jarrah Boy encapsulates all the things we are passionate about – Australian native ingredients, great beer, and celebrating Indigenous excellence.
It’s time for an all-Australian beer that showcases the unique native ingredients that our amazing country has to offer. Every Jarrah Boy beer features native bush food ingredients, grown on Country by Indigenous farmers and harvesters.
Dale Vocale is a proud Monero Ngarigo man from Orbost in East Gippsland, Victoria. His journey began as a chef, where his connection to Country influenced his uniquely Australian dishes.
Inspired by his beloved Nannagars, who loved a beer and a yarn with her mates after working picking crops in the fields of East Gippsland, Jarrah Boy brings together Dale’s love for showcasing native bush food flavours, with his passion for sharing a beer.
AVAILABLE NOW – Tirum, the golden sun, has shone over Kabi Kabi mob for more than 40,000 years. Our refreshing Sun Lager shines as brightly golden as Tirum shines down on Country, as we brew Jarrah Boy.
All–Australian grown ingredients, including native yams from Country, make Tirum a truly Australian beer, brewed for all Australians to enjoy together.
COMING SOON – Gwangal, or native honey, was once a rare and highly prized gift on Ngarigo Country, the ancestral lands of Jarrah Boy founder Dale Vocale.
Our Gwangal Red Lager, brewed with native honey, is our tribute to the red earth of Country, which gives life to the all–Australian malt and hops found in every Jarrah Boy.
COMING SOON – Mulu is Kabi Kabi lingo for ‘Blak’: the perfect name for this delicious dark lager. A tribute to our First Nations ancestors, who have been connected to Country for over 40,000 years.
Dark toasted malt gives Mulu Blak Lager its signature colour, while all–Australian hops & top secret native ingredient from Country lend Mulu a rich, yet refreshing taste.
100% deadly 🖤💛❤️
Jarrah Boy is our ‘cheers’ to Indigenous Excellence and allyship. #AllAustralian

This is Tirum Golden Sun Lager, Jarrah Boy's first of three lagers. We are so proud to reveal our first can design. We have had so many business and people, to get Jarrah Boy to this point. We are proud, grateful and stoked.

Jarrah Boy would like to thank @peppersnoosaresort for their amazing support. From the first meeting, they were so supportive of the Jarrah Boy vision and loved the Tirum from the first sip.
@viewrestaurantnoosa with @mattgolinski and Andy are both true champions, creating beautiful menu items to complement the beer from the local foraged foods.
A big heartfelt thank you to all at @accor @accorindigenouscareers_ Sunshine coast for their enthusiasm and encouragement.

There's a long history of fermentation here in Australia. This is an extract from The World's News (Sydney) from the 8th September 1923, it describes fermentation with the Banksia and black ants in Sydney by the Cadigal peoples.
TW: The following extract is a direct quote and uses outdated terms or language that may be offensive or harmful to First Nations peoples.
"ABORIGINAL BEVERAGES (Extract)
Mr. A. Meston. in a recent issue, when speaking about the beverages used by various peoples, says that the Australian aborigines drank nothing but pure water. Well, the bottle-brushes, or Banksias, which are very plentiful in the Sydney district, are said, on good authority, to have provided the natives with a fermented drink. The brushes, which are just long spikes of very crowded flowers, that produce large quantities of honey, were soaked in water, and the sweetened fluid allowed to ferment.
In a day or so the stuff was ready for consumption. Another beverage was made by mixing very small black ants in water, and allowing it to stand for a while. This drink had of course, the taste and odor that are characteristic of squashed ants, and seems to have been greatly relished, on account of its slightly acid and thirst-quenching properties. I have not tried these drinks myself, but, although the ant mixture would not appeal to the European palate, the first mentioned beverage would probably prove not distasteful. - Natura."
