Woolgoolga Brewing Co Between The Flags

Make sensible decisions. Swim between the flags. Wear a hat. Drink plenty of water. Reapply your sunscreen. Knock back a few middies to beat the heat.

Woolgoolga is a town proud of their lifeguards, and this American-style blonde ale is named as a tribute to those red-and-yellow-clad warriors. It’s designed to suit palates ranging from the least adventurous to the most discerning, drinking halfway between a lager and a pale ale: bright and beautiful as any well-made lager, an orange sherbet aroma that would be at home in any number of pale ales, and as easy drinking as you want a mid-strength beer from a coastal brewery to be.
