Australasian Beers

Australasian Beers

Australasian beers have steadily carved a niche in the UK market, offering a refreshing and diverse alternative to traditional European brews. Hailing from the sun-soaked shores of Australia and New Zealand, these beers are renowned for their bold flavours, innovative brewing techniques, and the use of unique, locally sourced ingredients. From crisp, hop-forward IPAs to smooth, sessionable lagers, Australasian beers bring a vibrant and contemporary twist to the UK beer scene, appealing to discerning drinkers seeking something distinct yet universally enjoyable. As the craft beer movement continues to flourish, these brews are gaining recognition for their quality and character.

Popular Australian Beers

The most popular style of beer throughout Australasia is light-flavoured, quite gassy lager. The lager beers are produced there with generic lager yeast and pale malt, thus having a refreshing as well as drinkable taste. These beers are easily drinkable and good for hot conditions. One of the best known such beers is Foster's, an international lager brand.

Given the tradition for light beers, there are many excellent Australasian beers which have been modelled on English and German beers. Recent times have seen an increase in independent breweries, producing tasty, unique beers.

Australian Beers

Australia has a great deal to offer in terms of quality beer. Australian beers have their origins in European lager and bitter techniques, with there being multiple varieties on offer. A particularly popular one is Victoria Bitter, known as VB. VB is one of the very few beers to break through the traditionally state divided Australian beer market.

Moving away from mass-market beers, there are many great Australian beers made by smaller brewers. An excellent one is Hahn beer; Hahn Premium and Hahn Vienna Red being key examples. Hahn beer is Germanic by origin. Hahn Premium has a bitter, hoppy taste, yet is crisp and has a clean finish.

Australian Beer

On the other hand, Hahn Red has a malty, bitter finish, being quite a fruity brew. These beers taste more like a German Pilsner than any other lager. Other key Australian beers are Cascade Premium, Crown beer and Coopers Premium Ale.

New Zealand Beers

New Zealand's beer history dates to Captain Cook's time. He considered it appropriate to add beer to the New Zealand diet of the time. New Zealand beers are English in influence, being smoother and heavier than Australian beers.

1812 IPA is one of New Zealand's most popular beers, even though it is not especially well known. It is independently brewed, being a spicy, malty beer, quite like old English ales. It has been awarded multiple gold medals, including three at the New Zealand Brewersfest. There are more popular New Zealand beers, like Lion Red, D.B Draught and Steinlager.
