The Thirsty Crow

By Stephen Norrie

On ANZAC day weekend this year, my wife and I were in the Hunter region for a wedding. We decided to stop in at the Potters Brewery in Nulkaba, for the Sunday night, for a spot of two-up and a look around the brewery.

Craig Wealands, one of the brewers at Potters, showed me around and also kindly shared some samples of Potters beers, including their Kolsch, Pale Ale and their excellent Porter.

It turns out that Craig is soon moving back to his home town of Wagga Wagga, to open the towns first craft brewery, The Thirsty Crow, at 31 Kincaid St. The Brewery has just received its 500 litre brewery and the development application has been approved, with the doors to open around July this year.

The Thirsty Crow’s line up will include a Red Light Ale, Kolsch, American Pale Ale, an ESB, Robust Porter, Batlow Apple Cider, a Hefeweizen (which I was lucky enough to sample) and some seasonals. You can follow the progress of the Thirsty Crow on Facebook.
