A giant koala statue is likely the first thing you’ll spot as you approach Phillip Island Brewing Co; and drinking their Koala Pale can help the native animals well after you've left too. After all, you don't build a koala statue unless you've got a bunch of them and the island is well known for its furry colonies.
A portion of profits from each Koala Pale goes to supporting wildlife and habitat conservation on the island so, while they might not be able to thank you, you will be well-appreciated by the furry locals.
The beer itself is the kind that will likely be well-appreciated by many craft beer drinkers: a classic American pale serving up grapefruit, light spice and a hint of pine. Although quite light-bodied, there’s also a bit of sweetness at play courtesy of a sweet biscuit finish.
