Details
This is a classic rendition of the 'West Coast' India Pale Ale style, with all of the glorious piney and tropical aromas for which this seriously punchy and powerful style is famous. Don't be fooled, though; despite all that floral, punchy, hoppy aromas, this is still such a crisp, dry and refreshing style of clean beer that has 'thirst quencher' written all over it.
Who wants to drink the same beer every day? Range Brewing founders Matt McIver and Gerard Martin certainly didn't, building a whole business based on creating new beers every week from their brewery in Newstead, Brisbane. Since 2018, they've built up a reputation as one of the country's most innovative brewers, delivering a weekly flow of provocative, hop-forward beers that remain at the cutting edge of Australian beer. The only problem? The limited edition hoppy (and often hazy) beers that Range are renowned for are notoriously hard to get a hold of, typically selling out so quickly that you need to be lightning quick with the credit card just to nab a can or two. What a pleasure it is to stock a small, extremely limited range of India Pale Ale (and more) from these modern Australian beer legends.

Pairing guide
We all love a good glass of IPA, and this beautifully hoppy and oh-so satisfying tipple from Range Brewing is the ideal choice for when you’re after a properly refreshing drink with your dinner. It’s surprisingly versatile when it comes to food pairing, too - this beer is going to match brilliantly with all kinds of Indian and Caribbean curry dishes, fish ‘n’ chips, roast dinners and medium-to-strong cheeses. It’s also great with barbecued red meat, grilled chicken thighs and shellfish. Delicious!
