Types of beers
LAGER

The popularity of lager and pilsner come from their light, refreshing, easy drinking qualities. Great for cutting through greasy food and spices.

Serve with: 

flavours like seafood or roast chicken.

WHEAT BEER

This refreshing European style beer is unique in its spicy, fruity aroma, full flavour and cloudy appearance. Easy drinking, especially on a hot day!

Serve with: 

lighter style dishes, like prawns or salads.

PALE ALE

With a bit more body and fruity character than a lager, the very popular Pale Ale is still easy drinking on a sunny afternoon.

Serve with: 

fish and chips, barbecued meats and prawns.

IPA

British and American IPA’s are all the rage currently. The main characteristic is an aggressively bitter hoppiness, with malty or fruity undertones. 

Serve with: 

big flavours such as herby, salty or spicy dishes.

AMBER ALE

Less hops and more malt means a fuller, darker and less bitter beer. Better for cooler weather and still subtle enough to pair with most meaty dishes.

Serve with: 

rich, meaty dishes like pies, roasts and steaks.

PORTER

The dark and heavy end of the spectrum, with deep malt flavours and full bodied mouthfeel. Great for sipping on a cold day.

Serve with: 

oysters, cheese, smoked meats and spicy dishes.
