Up North Subheading
Where the days run long and the heat lingers well into the evening, being up north is all about keeping things crisp, cold, and refreshing. It’s the kind of environment that calls for easy drinking brews made for esky living, beach days, and kicking back with nowhere to be.
Whether you’re casting a line, firing up the barbie, or just soaking in those red dirt views, we’ve curated a selection of beers that pair perfectly with warm weather and a zero-rush mindset. These are the dependable staples that hold their own in the heat and complement a great afternoon.
The Northern Line Up
Victoria Bitter Mid 3.5%: All the classic “big cold beer” flavours, but at a mid-strength percentage. Great for long afternoons in the sun.
Emu Export: A true WA icon. It’s light, refreshing, and the perfect choice for a Pilbara sunset.
FOUND. SUPER or EASY: Built for pure sessionability. These local Perth brews are clean, modern, and exactly what you want after a day out on the water. From the SUPER that packs a punch, to the EASY that’s lighter on buzz but big on flavour, you can’t go wrong with either of these beers.
Feral Brewing Co. Stray West Coast Pilsner: A crisp, hoppy twist on a classic pilsner that brings a bit of craft complexity to the campfire.
CBCo Brewing Draught or Small Ale: Whether you go for the clean Draught or the punchy, lower-ABV Small Ale, CBCo knows how to brew for the Aussie climate.
Little Creatures Pale Ale: A go-to for those who want a burst of citrus and floral hops to cut through the afternoon heat.
We’ve chosen these brews because they’re all about drinkability and refreshment. They’re designed to be light on the palate and easy to enjoy, making them the ideal companion for relaxed days, where the only thing on the agenda is enjoying the view.
Stocking up? Pop into your local Liquor Barons before you settle in for the long weekend. Grab a block, fill up the esky, and say cheers to being a West Aussie.
