For nearly two decades, Bright Brewery has embraced the darkness by unleashing the beast – Stubborn Imperial Stout. Over the years, our brewers have learnt to expect the unexpected with this brew. But this unpredictable set of circumstances is what sets every vintage of Stubborn Imperial Stout apart from the rest, and imparts its own distinct flavour and character. No two years are the same. Each year, we hold our breath, wondering what the brew will bring.

Like the mythical Alpine bear that adorns its label, this bold brew for 2026 is not to be taken lightly. Layered with rich expresso and dark chocolate, Stubborn is built for the long haul.

Sip it now for a hint of winter warmth, or let it hibernate for something truly special down the track.
