There's been many beers brewed at Helios over the years, here's an annual breakdown of what has come and gone across the taps in our Yeerongpilly HQ.
2025
Kronos ‘25 - Imperial Stout - 11%
Our new head brewer Nathan's spin on the annual release of Kronos. Following the last few editions of Kronos, this beer remains a big Russian Imperial Stout with plenty of dark roast at it's core.
Anthus - NZ IPA - 7.6%
A nod to our beloved neighbours across the ditch, Anthus celebrates the modern IPA style with a showcase of fresh New Zealand hops - Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Nectaron. Pouring a golden-orange hue, the aroma bursts with lime, grapefruit, and tangerine, mirrored on the palate alongside subtle hints of white grape. Expect a juicy body, velvety mouthfeel, and a satisfying moderate-to-high bitterness.
Megasus - Hazy Pale Ale - 5.5%
Megasus takes everything you love about his little brother, Pegasus - our juicy pale ale - and cranks it up to 11. Bursting with tropical fruit, bright citrus, and ripe stone fruit character, it delivers a bold, flavorful punch with low bitterness and a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Mega-hops. Mega-haze. Megasus - built for more.
Medusa Black IPA - 7.2% (2025)
Medusa is back and she’s not messing about. Assertive bitterness supported by a complex yet dry malt backbone. Excessive whirlpool and double dry hop of Chinook, Strata and Mosaic, deliver a bright berry and tropical front, supported by a bold resin, pine and dank undertone.
Midas Gold - Australian Lager - 4.2%
Beauty in simplicity. Midas Gold is a seductive mid strength lager utilising all Australian ingredients. Crisp, refreshing and affordably luxurious. Fill ya fridge!
Hyperbole - DDH NZ IPA - 7.0%
A modern exploration into the flavour explosion that is New Zealand hops. Hefty additions of Motueka, Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka SubZero Hop Kief impart layers of juicy goodness above a soft, pillowy base. This is one for the hop heads!
Seedless - Watermelon, Rosella & Mulberry Gose - 5.3%
Brewed with summer sipping in mind, our watermelon, rosella and mulberry gose is the refreshing sour you’ve been seeking. Loaded with juicy watermelon, tangy rosella, and a hint of mulberry, this fruit trio is balanced with sea salt to achieve a complex and supremely refreshing sour that’s sure to ring some bells!
2024
Labyrinth West Coast Double IPA - 8.3%
Labyrinth West Coast Double IPA is dripping with complex tropical and dank hop characters thanks to generous additions of Simcoe, Strata, Idaho 7 and Rakau hops with enough malt sweetness to balance the high hop load. It’s clean, dry, punchy and oh so delicious.
Sunspot - Hoppy Red Lager
A collab beer with Spotty Dog in Tasmania. It’s a style that doesn’t really exist, a hoppy red lager, but it’s a great fit for the gathering dark and oncoming clouds, nights drawing in and fires being lit. The deep mahogany makes you think of warmth and comfort, the creamy tan head is like a well worn couch, the light spice notes from the hints of rye and the Southern Cross have been accentuated by a long decoction step in the mash tun (yes, of course we did a decoction) lending complexity to the rich, toasted caramel on the palate and the lingering embrace of the mandarin marmalade bitterness. Settle in.
Kronos ‘24 - Imperial Stout - 11%
Kronos '24 is here, and not messing about. With assertive roast character, Kronos exhibits notes of ash, coffee and dark chocolate and is supported by complex toasted caramel, fig and sweet toffee characters. Robust and rich, this Imperial Stout is the indulgent dark winter neck oil you've been seeking.
Depth Perception - Chocolate Chip Blueberry Banana Maple Pancake Pastry Stout - 7%
We love pancakes. They’re yum! We love them even more when we add chocolate, banana, blueberry and maple syrup. Extra yum! Sometimes we like to turn our favourite pancakes into a stout and add lactose because it’s cool to do that and oh so yum! You’re welcome!
Splat Hazy IPA - 6.0%
Sometimes you need to throw an 'idea' against the wall and see if it sticks! Splat Hazy IPA embodies this attitude with a collision of old and new world approaches to create Helios & Spotty Dog's second collab beer of 2024. A typical Belgian Wit base was charged with Bitter Orange, zesty Motueka and Eclipse hops, and literal bucket loads of blood orange juice. The resulting Splat Hazy IPA may blur stylistic lines but rest assured it's a one-way ticket to juice town!
Zeus DIPA - 2024 - 9.5%
Zeus Double IPA returns and its bigger than ever before. A god among gods, Zeus doesn’t hold any punches and delivers electrifying old school IPA flavours thanks to a characterful malt base and massive additions of Chinook, Columbus and Centennial hops. One for the hop heads, it’s big, bold and unapologetically assertive.
To Be Continued - Continuously Hopped DIPA - 8.0%
Continuously hopped during boil for 90 mins with gluttonous whirlpool additions and double dry hopped, To Be Continued is a brash West Coast DIPA that delivers in spades. The original recipe was developed by Leon Stanley and subsequently won the 2023 Helios Hopetition home brew competition. The beer was too damn good and we decided to scale it up, and get Leon back to rebrew it on the big kit for you to enjoy!
