SEVEN Sheds will make the pilgrimage to Festivale in Launceston at the weekend for the fifth time and brewery owner Willie Simpson said there was sure to be some surprise brews among the kegs.

Mr Simpson said in addition to its staple items of Kentish and Paradise pale ales, the brewery would also be serving up its limited-edition Black Inca dark ale as well as a new pilsner brew.

The pilsner has been developed with another North-West Coast producer but its ingredients will be kept under wraps until a launch later this week.

"We always have our staples but people like to try new things so we always try and bring something new," Mr Simpson said.

Black Inca is a dark ale brewed with Anvers Fortunato No. 4 chocolate and Kindred Organics quinoa and is a black beer with chocolate undertones.

Mr Simpson said going to Festivale was usually a great experience and a good way to market the brand and get exposure.

"It's really about the thousands of people that come through the gates, but we're a business so most of the time you spend there you're pouring beers," he said.
