Summer-Ready Aussie Craft Beers You’ll Crave
When the mercury climbs, you need beers that don’t fight the weather. Think crisp, spritzy, refreshing. Here’s your warm-weather cheat sheet from the craft beer Australia experts who spend December taste-testing in thongs.
Styles that slap in summer
Pilsner & Helles – Clean, snappy, ultra-crushable. Lawn-mowing fuel.
Session Pale & XPA – All the hop aroma, less of the wallop.
Wheat Beer – Soft and silky with citrus vibes. BBQ-friendly.
Sours (Gose, Berliner) – Tangy, sparkling, salty-kiss heaven.
Cold IPA – Lager-like snap with IPA swagger. Hello, prawns platter.
Packs to make it easy
Pale in Comparison 6pk – Bright hop fest for sunny arvos.
Sour Puss 6pk – When the forecast says “scorching”.
Dabbler 6pk – A bit of everything for the esky.
Serve like a pro
Chill properly (no freezer roulette), use a clean glass so the bubbles behave and match smart: pilsner with fish tacos, pale ale with snags, sour with seafood or salads. Keep the ice up. Keep the shade nearby. Talk yourself up like you planned all of this.
Whether it’s beach, balcony or blow-up pool, the Aussie breweries featured in all our packs have you sorted. Load the esky, invite the crew and pretend you own a misting fan.
