Orange juice beer? It's a thing thanks to SA brewer

With an eye for blending ale with unique local flavours, the Riverland's Woolshed Brewery now has its sights set on conquering the region's largest crop — citrus.

The Big Orange is the latest idea from the Murtho brewers and Adelaide Hills company Left Barrel Brewing, infusing a kettle sour beer with juice from locally grown oranges.

Brewer Jackson Beavis said the idea came about due to the abundance of citrus grown around them.
