When it comes to the perfect beer for the Aussie summer, there can be no more perfect beer than
@KaijuBeer
’s KRUSH! Sure it’s all upper caps, but it’s also upper fruity, upper juicy, upper refreshing, and well, that all sounds a bit weird, but weird tasty right?
#GABSHottest100
When
@balterbrewers
release a new beer, they RELEASE a new beer. And possibly no new Balter beer was more anticipated than this one. It took Aussie craft beer lovers by storm and has now made its Hottest 100 debut in the top ten. Top eight, even.

Kicking off the GABS Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers for 2020, whooooooo!!
It doesn’t get better than a starting straight off the bat with eight beers, that didn’t feature in 2019’s Top 100, moving on to the 2020 list.
Marking it’s 11th year in the
#GABSHottest100
, and 4th time in the top 10n,
@NakedNed
’s Beechworth Pale Ale is truly an outstanding Aussie beer. A go-to esky filler for any occasion, whether it’s a day on the beach or uploading a craft beer countdown in a sweaty office. Cheers!
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Pacific Ale, it’s held a podium position for 9 years making it possibly the most loved beer in the Hottest 100 poll. Congrats
