Bluebottle Beer – New South Wales

ABV 4.3%
A crisp and seductive blend of lifted aromatics, light bitterness and a citrus sting to enhance the flavours of the sea – winner of the Australian Beer Awards Best Lager 2008

Cricketers Arms Lager – Victoria

ABV 5.2%
This extra dry lager is made with sun dried Australian malt and infused with Amarillo hops imparting an intriguing citrus character to the aroma and flavour. Preservative free, and with an extra dry, clean finish, it’s fabulous with food. Enjoy icy cold!

Grand Ridge Natural Blonde - Victoria

ABV 4.5%
An award-winning classic Belgian style blonde wheat beer. Naturally cloudy, it’s made using Australia’s premium wheat, malt, coriander and orange peel for a luscious, refreshing and erotic answer to a hot summer’s day! Great with Thai food, curries and barbeques.

Gippsland Gold

ABV 4.9%
The Gippsland Gold Pale Ale has been a massive hit with expats from the UK living in Australia, as a real 'taste of home'. The Gippsland Gold has beautiful rich malts which will delight the most discerning pale ale fan. Hops from Tasmania ensure this beer has achieved the perfect Malt-and-Hops balance - and has a great reputation for starting parties wherever it goes! Excellent with all steaks, roast lamb and game meats.

Little Creatures – Western Australia

ABV 5.2%
This Pale Ale is hand crafted in small batches using sensational whole hop flowers and specialty malts. Pale Ale is bottle conditioned using a secondary yeast and has no artificial additives. The result is a clean, citrus flavour and distinct floral aroma.

Pikes Oaksbank - South Australia

ABV 4.5%
This brew is a traditional Pilsner style and offers a fresh and very aromatic beer which displays citrus and fruity notes. It finishes clean and crisp with a hint of bitterness adding length and texture – a great quaffer that goes particularly well with garlic prawns.

Red Angus Pilsner – New South Wales

ABV 4.8%
A pure grain fed Pilsner made with 5 malted grains and 3 classic hops, giving a wild profusion of spicy and fruit aromas which develops as the beer is drunk, with more earth aromas of the bittering hops coming through towards the bottom of the glass.

Coopers - South Australia

The Coopers Original Pale Ale has a fruity character and robust flavour – perfect for every occasion. Naturally fermented with no preservatives or additives, the ‘Burton-on-Trent’ style, a secondary fermentation creates the secondary trademark sediment that gives ‘Pale’ its fine cloudy appearance. Coopers Sparkling Ale has a distinctive balance of malt, hops and fruit characters, the old ‘Red Label’ is a tasty slice of Coopers history. Little has changed since Thomas Cooper produced his first batch of Coopers Sparkling Ale ion 1862.
