If you've ever cracked open a Stone & Wood Pacific Ale and thought "I'd love to make that at home" — here's your chance. The Sticks & Stones Pacific Ale is AHB's much-loved take on that iconic Byron Bay style: light golden, bursting with tropical passionfruit and citrus from Australian-grown Galaxy hops, with a crisp dry finish that makes it one of the most refreshing beers you can brew at home. It's the kind of beer that disappears fast — so it's a very good thing you're making 21 litres of it.

FAQ 

Is this kit easy to brew? Absolutely — no experience needed, and the malt extract format keeps things very manageable on brew day. All the ingredients are pre-measured and full step-by-step instructions are included in the box, so you'll know exactly what you're doing at every stage. It's one of the most straightforward kits we make, which is a big part of why it's so popular.

What makes this a Pacific Ale — and how does it compare to Stone & Wood? A Pacific Ale is defined by its use of Galaxy hops, which give it that signature tropical passionfruit and citrus aroma and a clean, dry finish — lighter and more aromatic than a standard pale ale. This kit is AHB's take on that iconic Stone & Wood style from Byron Bay, brewed with authentic Australian Galaxy hops and the same malt character that makes the original so easy to drink. Many of our customers reckon their home brew gives it a real run for its money.

What equipment do I need? You'll need a basic home brewing setup: a fermenter of at least 23 litres, an airlock, a hydrometer, sanitiser, a thermometer, and bottles or a keg for packaging. If you're just getting started, our starter kits bundle everything you need in one go.
