Meet The Brewer: Ira Wurtz

Our Pilot Batch beers? They're like our brewers' secret experiments happening down at our Byron Bay brewery. Small batches, super unique, and once they're gone, they might not ever come back. It's basically our brewers' creative playground where they try out funky stuff - turning the whole brewery into an experimental journey for your tastebuds.
Every few months, one of our brewers, this time it's Ira Wurtz, takes charge in Byron. They get to brew up whatever tickles their fancy and run the whole Pilot Batch thing. Cool, right?
Over the last three months Stone & Wood Byron Bay has been graced by Ira's presence as part of our rotating brewers program. He's delighted our tastebuds with several unique beers, including a hop-centric West Coast inspired IPA brewed with rosemary plucked from his very own backyard. Wittily coined the 'IRA', a West Coast IPA with rosemary.
