Frequently Asked Questions

What is pale ale?

A pale ale is a somewhat hop-forward beer style known for its balanced bitterness, refreshing finish, and moderate alcohol content. It’s one of the most popular styles in craft beer and comes in various forms including XPA.

What’s the difference between XPA and pale ale?

While both are hop-driven, XPA beers (extra pale ales) are typically lighter in body and colour but often have a more intense hop aroma. XPAs are a modern twist on traditional ales, designed to be refreshing but flavour-packed.

What food pairs well with pale ales?

Pale ales match well with grilled meat, burgers, fried snacks, and mid-weight dishes. Their balance helps cut through salt and fat without overpowering food.

What are the best pale ale brands in Australia?

Some of the best pale ale Australia has to offer comes from breweries like Mountain Culture, Balter, Stone & Wood, Hawkers and Philter. Our range includes award-winning favourites and customer top-rated picks. Check out our product reviews to find your next go-to.

Can I buy pale ales in a mixed pack?

Absolutely. Our curated packs are perfect for trying out a range of styles and pale ale brands. You can also build your own mixed case by selecting individual beers from our online store or buy our pre-made Pale Ale Mixed 12 Pack.

What ABV can I expect from pale ales?

Most pale ales and XPAs range from 4.5% to 5.5% ABV.

Is your pale ale beer suitable for cellaring?

No. Pale ales are best consumed fresh. Their hop profile fades over time, so they are best consumed as fresh as possible. Most breweries place a date of 9–12 months from when it has been brewed.

Do you offer XPA beer subscriptions?

We don’t have a specific XPA subscription, but many of our monthly releases feature Pale Ales and XPAs as part of the mix that we send subscribers. Best of all, the selection changes each month, so you are sure to get something different with each pack. It’s a great way to explore a range of beers delivered to your door monthly.

Do you ship pale ales across Australia?

Yes. We dispatch most orders within 1 business day and offer delivery across all of Australia. We use Australia Post’s wine delivery network to ensure your beers arrive safely and ready to enjoy.
