Beer Local Brewing Co Pacific Paradise

Packed inside a golden and blue can, Pacific Paradise manages to conjure images of beaches a little more picturesque than those skirting Local Brewing Co’s Melbourne home. The core range beer feels like it’s been designed for a spot of post-swim refreshment too: a pale, light and highly quaffable affair.

It’s brewed with one of Germany’s newer hops in Huell Melon (well, it’s been around a little while at the time of writing but it’s hardly centuries old) and an American craft beer stalwart in Amarillo. Working together, it's a pairing that produces bright flavours of honeydew melon, something a little closer to watermelon rind, before following through with peach and nectarine.
