Why Certified Organic is SUPER-NATURAL beer

CERTIFIED ORGANIC



Burragumbilli beer takes the next step to ensure purity by using only Certified Organic ingredients. The main goal of organic farming is to provide nutrient rich, healthy soils from which healthy plants can be grown. Nutrient rich, healthy plants are less prone to diseases and pests. Organic farming practices also use other innovative, non-chemical techniques for farming in harmony with the environment.

Our barley and hops are grown without industrial fertilizers, pesticides, weedicides or fungicides and therefore are without the common chemical residues of conventionally grown crops. Hops in particular are very susceptible to fungal diseases and conventionally grown crops generally require fungicidal applications. Organic hops must be grown with wider spaced plants and rigorous pruning to improve sunlight penetration and airflow to restrict fungal infections.

Organic malts usually have a lower protein content that produces a clear mash and less haze problems in the finished beer. These malts generally have higher mash efficiency and a faster fermentation. . Organic malts and hops also have no chemical residues to interfere with fermentation to give the organic brewer a clean, unadulterated beer. Organic lager has exceptional clarity without the use of harmful chemical fining agents, and it has a clean, flavourful taste.



So if you are drinking any beer which is not certified organic you will most likely be imbibing a chemical cocktail which is harmful to your health. It can include the residues from farming processes, storage/preservative requirements, several of which are carcinogenic, as well as residues of industrial cleaners, and chemical additives to the brew such as flavours, colours, and preservatives. Of the over 9 chemical processing aids commonly used by breweries, at least one is a well known human carcinogen, and others have well understood harmful effects on human physiology.



Organics is the smart way for keeping farming sustainable for the future - improving soil, encouraging wildlife and woodlands, saving water, keeping pollutants out of our food, beverage, land, air and waterways, preventing disease, and benefiting our healthy way of life.


The organic movement is growing rapidly worldwide as the importance of protecting your longevity and quality of life in this clean natural way becomes more widely understood.

About ‘Certified Organic’

Some of the reasons people choose to be certified with Australian Certified Organic are:



Strength of the name and bud logo



The Bud logo is the organic symbol that consumers widely recognise and trust and it is used by more certified operators than any other in Australia. Displayed on packaging and marketing literature, to easily inform the buyer of true purity. If you find a beer which claims to be “Natural” or even “Organic” look for the certification logo as your guarantee.



Comprehensive Certification Service



ACO's expert team offers the most extensive organic certification service in Australia, backed up by the promotional and marketing services provided by the BFA, (Biological Farmer's of Australia) ensuring the product has organic integrity from 'paddock to plate'.



Integrity of Certification



To protect good operators from being associated with less than best management practice, some operations do not achieve certification with ACO, because they are not deemed as fulfilling the requirements of the Standard which has been designed to protect your health.

Market Access



An awareness of the benefits of organically produced products has been steadily growing globally. ACO has extensive equivalency arrangements worldwide - including highly sought after markets such as Japan (JAS) and America (USDA NOP). We currently have in place the ACO (Australian Certified Organic) - certification as an organic processor.
